Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. While this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehab require to experience a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center which is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab program of choice.
