Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in recovery require to have a productive rehabilitation.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab due to a court order to meet part of their sentencing for a drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug and alcohol rehab frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol treatment requirements enforced with them as part of sentencing and also naturally when successfully completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and consult with a rehabilitation 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 costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are 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 can be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of choice.
