Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities to help help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment may be different and lower than another person whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
