Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, since the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Even though this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good center they like and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a number of alcohol and drug treatment programs to help help clients afford treatment where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab could be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
