Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers.

Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
