Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding intensity of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery have to have to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation 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 because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.
