Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, there's no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in rehab have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment center that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in an effort to help clients afford treatment where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's price for rehab could be different and less than another individual whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
