Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while receiving rehabilitation services. While this may seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment facilities. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program that is within their network of providers and there might be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility 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 expenses of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment program of choice.
