Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment facility while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in recovery have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility which is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a good program they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option provided by numerous drug rehabilitation programs in an effort to help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for treatment could be different and another person whose financial situation is better which makes them better able to pay the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
