Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab center while receiving treatment services. While this may seem perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many individuals in treatment require to experience a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment program that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.
