Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem ideal it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in rehab to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug rehabilitation centers that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to be able to not merely become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are 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 might be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by numerous drug and alcohol treatment facilities to help help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable initially. As an example, one client's price for treatment could be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full price of treatment. Registrars take into account additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
