Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any sort of and degree of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance plans, you shouldn't have to postpone getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, as the individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while undergoing treatment services. Even if this may appear ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than a lot of people in rehabilitation have to have to have a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the help they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare 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 aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehab center that is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they like and meet with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by numerous drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities to help help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them better able to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account additional circumstances in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
