Substance Abuse Treatment Services

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

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. While this may appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than a lot of people in rehab have to have to experience a productive rehabilitation.

DUI/DWI Offenders

DUI and DWI offenders in many cases are given the possibility or ordered to rehabilitation as a term of their sentencing. Quite often, the offender can select which rehab center they wish to enroll in. When successfully completed, DUI and DWI offenders can take advantage of decreased sentencing options to enable them to move ahead in their lives without having to be penalized further.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can select whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

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 are not a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by many different drug treatment programs in order to help clients afford treatment where this may not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than someone else whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account additional circumstances besides income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
