Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Even though this might seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to 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 can be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug rehabilitation program that's within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by a variety of alcohol and drug treatment programs in order to help clients afford rehab where this might not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
