Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of having to remain in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the required change of environment than a lot of people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people actually have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehab programs will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of 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 health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug rehab center which is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions like the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
