Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Although this may appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment program that is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug and alcohol rehab facilities in an effort to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For example, one client's price for rehab could be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
