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 has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale
