Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. Although this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in recovery have to have to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders during rehab in order to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several alcohol and drug rehab centers who can specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to be able to not simply become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should 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 take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option available from a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration other factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
