Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.
