Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Although this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehab require to have a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders during treatment in order to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug rehab centers who can specifically hone in on the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face in order to not only become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab program that is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
