Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that's inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions concerning how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of preference.
