Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Even if this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in recovery need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility offered by a variety of drug and alcohol rehab centers to help help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's price for treatment might be different and less than someone else whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay the full price of rehab. Registrars consider additional factors besides income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
