Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance plans, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as 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 representative. There can be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.
