Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that's within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.
