Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions in terms of intensity of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. Even though this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many people in recovery need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that's in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Registrars take into consideration other factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
