Medicaid

Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy.

When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers.
