Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings along with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various needs of clients with any sort of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being included in many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual can preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab program while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are identified in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders whilst in rehabilitation to find resolution because one often triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug rehabilitation facilities who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use issues face in order to not simply become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included 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 rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation facility that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility provided by many different alcohol and drug rehab centers in an effort to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and someone else whose finances are better making them more prepared to spend the money for full price of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs provide payment assistance to help clients who may not have enough resources to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term center when in fact a long-term facility will likely be the more suitable selection. To determine what payment assistance could be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, consult the center for particulars.
