Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. While this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare 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 forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all 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 can be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug and alcohol treatment centers in order to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been doable initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehab could be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional factors besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
