Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Although this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehab require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
