Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. Even if this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers accept Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehab facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option offered by numerous drug rehab facilities in an effort to help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been possible originally. For example, one client's price for treatment might be different and lower than another individual whose financial situation is better making them more prepared to pay for the full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration additional factors aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
