Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the help they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in order to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment could possibly be different and less than someone else whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehab. Registrars consider additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
