Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this may seem ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are known in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Fortunately, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab facilities that can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type 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 may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center which is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions including how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility provided by many different alcohol and drug treatment facilities in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for rehab might be different and another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol treatment programs offer payment assistance to help clients who might not have sufficient resources to self pay for treatment or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term program will probably be the more ideal choice. To see what payment assistance could be offered, like a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for details.
