Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in recovery need to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the support they need in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more programs that are able to do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study information and the like are now very often available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish treatment is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program 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 strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center which is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in an effort to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full price of rehab. Registrars consider additional circumstances in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
