Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. While this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment facilities 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 physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front 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 costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most 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 medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment center that's in their network of providers and there may be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.
