Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings along with various treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is required. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the help they need in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug treatment facility that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain 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 treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions regarding just 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 just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by numerous drug rehab facilities to help help clients afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of treatment. Registrars consider additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
