Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in a variety of settings with various treatment lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any sort of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential centers now being paid by many insurance companies, there is no need to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. Although this may seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is needed. Other than ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the help they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good center they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by many different drug rehabilitation facilities in order to help clients pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for treatment could be different and somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to pay the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars consider variables aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
