Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

For example, one client's fee for rehab could be different and less than someone else whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment facilities offer payment assistance to help clients who may not have enough money to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. By way of example, Occasionally insurance only pays for a short-term center when in fact a long-term facility will probably be the more ideal choice.
