Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings and with different rehab lengths and plans to accommodate the varying needs of clients with any kind of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being covered by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, because the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than many people in recovery need to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.
