Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving rehab services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in recovery require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative 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 drug and alcohol treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance.
