Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in treatment require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, 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 treatment facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by many different drug and alcohol treatment programs in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation might be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars consider additional circumstances in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
