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.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered 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 rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.
