Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services are available in many different settings with various rehab lengths and plans to suit the various needs of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both short and long term and both inpatient and residential programs now being paid by many insurance companies, there's no need to put off receiving substance abuse treatment services for anybody who wants it.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Although this may appear perfect it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to have a productive rehab.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the possibility or ordered to treatment as part of sentencing. Sometimes, the offender can decide which rehab center they would like to go to. Upon successful completion, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of reduced sentencing options so that they can move forward in their lives without getting penalized any more.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type 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 rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehabilitation so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of alcohol and drug rehab centers in order to help clients pay for treatment where this might not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation might be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account other factors apart from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
