Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. While this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in treatment require to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program which is within their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment center of choice.
