Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative.
