Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in recovery need to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment program that's within their network of providers and there could be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for 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 regarding how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a number of alcohol and drug rehab programs in order to help clients afford rehab where this might not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation might be different and less than someone else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
