Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings along with different rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance plans, you don't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehab require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by a number of drug treatment programs in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
