Drug Treatment Help Request

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.
