Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. While this might appear ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is required. Other than ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they need in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that's in their network of providers and there can be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from many different drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in order to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been doable initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehab could be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars consider variables aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
