Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab program while receiving rehab services. While this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many people in treatment need to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

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 including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of choice.
