Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in treatment have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the support they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, treatment facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like 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 expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations like how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities 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 restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from numerous drug and alcohol rehab centers in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional factors besides income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who might not have sufficient money to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in actuality a long-term center will likely be the more suitable choice. To see what payment assistance might be available, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the program for particulars.
