Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Even though this may seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations regarding how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.
