Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance plans, there is no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may seem perfect it will not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in treatment have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered 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 rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they like and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.
