Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs in an effort to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full price of rehab. Registrars take into consideration other factors in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
