Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. Even if this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.
