Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment program which is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by many different drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in order to help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehab could possibly be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
