Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in several settings along with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance companies, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who needs it.

Residential Long-Term Treatment (More Than 30 Days)

Residential long-term treatment, which lasts for over thirty days, can be an option that delivers the commensurate intensity of care and suitable environment for anyone fighting a significant addiction and dependency issue. Because individuals will stay within a residential long-term treatment center for 3-6 months and even longer in some instances, these types of facilities offer all the amenities needed to make a client's feel as relaxed and amenable as possible while delivering quality treatment to help them overcome their habit permanently.

Adolescents

When adolescents get involved in any kind of drug abuse, it is essential that they receive high quality care to stop the situation in its tracks so that it doesn't worsen and maybe jeopardize their future. Because adolescent drug use which persists often carries on into adulthood, mothers and fathers must continue to be astute and get their adolescent rehab when a problem is noticed in a facility which addresses adolescent substance abuse. Many facilities which deal with adolescents provide both inpatient and residential rehab, which has been proven to be the very best settings for rehabilitation clients of this age.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for 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 restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.
