Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for 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 drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a number of alcohol and drug treatment programs in an effort to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for treatment might be different and less than someone else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
