Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services regarding intensity of care, because the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment center while receiving rehab services.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for 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 treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities.

Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

By way of example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in fact a long-term center will be the more ideal choice.
