Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers.
