Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab facility while receiving rehab services. Even though this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually 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 rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by a number of alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities to help help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and less than another person whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
