Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance plans, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehabilitation have to have to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind 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 may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and speak with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by a number of drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
