Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services.

Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with 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 may be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by many different drug and alcohol treatment programs in an effort to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally.
