Drug Treatment Help Request

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug treatment program that's inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
