Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services 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 covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.
