Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of intensity of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in recovery need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients find their way into rehab due to a court order to satisfy part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in drug rehabilitation often receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when cooperating with drug treatment specifications enforced with them as part of sentencing especially of course when successfully graduating a drug treatment program.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.
