Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this may seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in recovery require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab facilities have the staff or resources to focus on the needs of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more centers that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study information and the like are actually very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug treatment program that's inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent program they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.
