Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a treatment facility while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

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

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.
