Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program that's in their network of providers and there might be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by many different drug treatment programs in an effort to help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been possible initially.

Registrars consider other factors besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
