Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as 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 may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult 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 treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance.
