Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehabilitation services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in treatment need to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders when it's in rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are numerous alcohol and drug rehab programs who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face so that they can not only become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who battle with substance abuse may have distinctive challenges they have to conquer when in rehabilitation, which rehabilitation professionals within the rehab they choose to take part in must be keen of to ensure that a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to choose a center which is familiar with helping seniors and older adults address the distinctive life and drug abuse issues that these clients face which may include a wider spectrum of services including medical treatment and the like.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by a variety of alcohol and drug treatment facilities to help help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's fee for treatment could be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay for the full price of rehab. Registrars consider additional factors in addition to income including number of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
