Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in a number of settings with different treatment lengths and plans to suit the varying demands of clients with any type of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anyone who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services in terms of level of care, as the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a treatment program while undergoing rehabilitation services. Although this might appear perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like 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 may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment program which is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification 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 might be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug treatment programs offer payment assistance to help clients who might possibly not have sufficient money to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in reality a long-term program will probably be the more appropriate option. To determine what payment assistance may be available, such as a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for particulars.
