Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Substance abuse treatment services can be obtained in many different settings and with different rehabilitation lengths and plans to accommodate the various demands of clients with any kind of and level of addiction. With both long and short term and both inpatient and residential facilities now being included in many insurance companies, there is no need to put off getting substance abuse treatment services for anybody who desires it.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of level of care, for the reason that individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear ideal it will not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehabilitation center which is inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by numerous alcohol and drug treatment programs in order to help individuals afford rehabilitation where this might not have been possible originally. For example, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and another individual whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay the full cost of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost and using the sliding scale.
