Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings along with different rehab lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance plans, there's no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, for the reason that individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance plan.
