Drug Treatment Help Request

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs is a process which can be made considerably more manageable and safely overseen when in a proper detoxification or drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Sometimes detoxification isn't without risk, and even with good intentions people who proceed through detoxification independently in an effort to get sober could really be putting their health or perhaps their lives in danger. It is always advisable to seek detoxification solutions inside a professional center in order to avoid such hazards and also to have a smooth progression from detoxification to rehabilitation in a quality alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as 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 drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible 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. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and speak with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.
