Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings and with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any type of and amount of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential centers now being covered by many insurance plans, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs is really a course of action which can be made considerably more manageable and safely supervised when in a proper detoxification or drug rehab facility. Often detoxification isn't risk free, and even with the very best of intentions individuals who go through detoxification on their own in order to get sober might really be putting their health and even their lives at risk. It is usually best to seek out detoxification solutions in a professional center in order to avoid such dangers and also to have a smooth transition from detoxification to treatment at a quality drug rehabilitation program.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing treatment services. Even though this may seem perfect it might not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.
