Outpatient

While this might seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in rehabilitation require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Partial Hospitalization/Day Treatment

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and meet with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
