Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Even though this may appear ideal it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just 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 may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab facility that is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.
