Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might seem ideal it might not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations about how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of choice.
