Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a treatment center while undergoing rehab services. While this might appear ideal it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment need to have a successful rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with 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 consultant. There could be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.
