  • In 2010, approximately 16 million Americans reported using prescription drugs such as codeine non-medically, with 7 million reporting doing so in the previous month.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in recovery require to have a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can 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 doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with 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 take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.
