Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation program while receiving treatment services. Even though this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle 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 health care insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.
