Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in recovery have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to 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 may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify 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 handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they like and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.
