Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more programs that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study data and so on are actually very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type 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 expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
