Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality program they like and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by many different drug treatment facilities in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this might not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab centers provide payment assistance to help individuals who may not have enough resources to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in actuality a long-term facility will likely be the more appropriate selection. To find out what payment assistance could be offered, such as a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the center for particulars.
