Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Although this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment facility that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.
