Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to be in a rehab center while receiving rehabilitation services. While this might appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery need to have a productive rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.
