Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehab services. Even though this may seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in rehab have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Partial Hospitalization/Day Treatment

Partial hospitalization, or Day Treatment as it is occasionally called, is a type of drug and alcohol treatment center set up for many who need and require a thorough and structured treatment plan and atmosphere yet don't require around the clock supervision. It can help make people in treatment remain supported during the process without disturbing other day to day activities they might need to sustain while in rehab. Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is also a possibility for those who have finished an inpatient or residential program and need assistance with the smooth transition back into an average drug-free lifestyle.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must tackle both disorders whilst in rehab to find resolution because one typically triggers the other. Luckily, there are several drug treatment programs who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face so that they can not only become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and never feel the need to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required 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 seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

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 kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all 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 restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehab programs in order to help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been doable originally. For example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and lower than another person whose financial situation is better which makes them more prepared to pay for the full expense of treatment. Registrars consider other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
