100% Confidential.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in recovery have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders whilst in treatment to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug treatment facilities that can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians acquire excellent rehabilitation services within a treatment environment which is discreet and with treatment professionals available to them who comprehend the unique problems that they experience in life. Because drug use for gays and lesbians may also be triggered by the problems they face due to their sexual preference, a rehab which can help them resolve these issues and give them the confidence that they've lacked before arriving in rehabilitation can be quite a crucial part of rehab for gay and lesbian clients.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility 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 treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from 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 cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment facility that is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and consult with a treatment 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 drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug and alcohol treatment programs in order to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
