Drug Treatment Help Request

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings and with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the various demands of clients with any kind of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being included in many insurance companies, there's no need to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding intensity of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab facility while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in recovery need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and speak with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab program of choice.
