Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a number of settings and with different treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the varying demands of clients with any type of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being covered by many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, since the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. While this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehabilitation require to experience a productive rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders are often given the possibility or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can choose which treatment program they would like to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options so that they can move ahead in their lives without getting penalized any further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of preference.
