Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type 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 expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by numerous alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehab might be different and someone else whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into consideration other factors aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
