Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. While this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are identified in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not just become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab center which is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehab programs in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who may possibly not have adequate money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay.
