Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehabilitation often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug and alcohol rehabilitation specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing specifically naturally when successfully completing a drug rehabilitation program.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for 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 treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program which is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of choice.
