Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while undergoing rehab services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab need to experience a successful rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from 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 treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.
