Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Even though this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.
