Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a variety of settings and with various rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the varying needs of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, you don't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anyone who needs it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear perfect it might not provide the required change of surroundings than lots of people in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the option or ordered to rehab as a term of their sentencing. In many cases, the offender can pick which rehabilitation program they would like to attend. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options to be able to move forward in their lives without getting penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by many different drug treatment centers in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehab could be different and lower than somebody else whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account variables aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
