Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this may seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation require to experience a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL and other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they need in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment center which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.
