Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings along with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the option or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. Often times, the offender can pick which treatment center they would like to go to. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options in order to move forward in their lives without getting penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment 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 could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as 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 representative. There may be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by a variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in order to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
