Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings and with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the choice or ordered to rehabilitation as part of sentencing. Often times, the offender can choose which rehab center they wish to enroll in. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders benefit from decreased sentencing options to be able to progress in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically 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 type of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
