Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this might appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug treatment facility that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option made available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in order to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable originally. For instance, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars consider additional circumstances besides income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
