Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly 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 can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can 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 will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of alcohol and drug treatment centers in an effort to help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been doable initially. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation might be different and another individual whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
