Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug treatment centers possess the staff or resources to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study data and so on are actually frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within 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 rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.
