Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab program which is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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