Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in recovery require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
