Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding intensity of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must deal with both disorders during rehabilitation to find resolution simply because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehab facilities have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clients, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Therapy, study data and the like are actually frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

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

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that's within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations regarding how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of drug treatment programs in order to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been possible initially. For example, one client's fee for rehab might be different and someone else whose finances are better making them better able to pay the full price of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
