Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, as the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Even if this might appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab need to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. 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 insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab program that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they prefer and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
