Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations about the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
