Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
