Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving rehab services. Even though this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab facilities 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 assist in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

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 forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by many different alcohol and drug rehab programs in an effort to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and someone else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehab. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab programs provide payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have enough funds to self pay for rehab or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. As an example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in reality a long-term program will likely be the more appropriate selection. To determine what payment assistance could be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, check with the facility for particulars.
