Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.
