So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to decide on a program that's familiar with helping seniors and older adults handle the distinctive life and drug abuse issues that these clients face which can include a broader spectrum of services including medical care and the like.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a number of drug and alcohol rehab facilities to help help individuals pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation could possibly be different and lower than another person whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay for the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
