Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with substance abuse could have unique challenges they must overcome during treatment, which rehabilitation professionals in the facility they elect to be a part of should be keen of so that a complete recovery may be possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to choose a rehab that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults tackle the distinctive life and drug use issues that these clients face which may include a broader spectrum of services including health care and so on.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in an effort to help clients afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For instance, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehab. Registrars take into account additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
