Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that's in their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.
