Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in order to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
