Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear ideal it will not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program which is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and consult with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers to help help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's price for treatment could be different and another individual whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars consider additional circumstances apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
