Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance plans, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide 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 doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab center that is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment facilities provide payment assistance to help clients who might possibly not have enough money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for their stay. By way of example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term center when in fact a long-term facility will probably be the more suitable option. To find out what payment assistance may be offered, say for example a sliding fee scale, consult the program for particulars.
