100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into treatment as part of a court ruling in order to meet a part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation frequently receive reduced sentences, fines etc. when cooperating with drug rehab requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they need in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.
