Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation need to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.
