Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in several settings along with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, you don't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment program while receiving rehab services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehab need to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

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 possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

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