Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment center while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation programs possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more centers that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study info and so on are now very often obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by many different alcohol and drug rehab centers to help help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and another individual whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who might not have sufficient resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay.
