Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. Even if this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in treatment have to have to have a productive rehab.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but luckily there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study information and stuff like that are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

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 kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program which is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they like and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.
