Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of intensity of care, for the reason that individual can maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehabilitation center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than many people in treatment need to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, rehab centers will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment program that's in their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and speak with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option offered by a variety of drug and alcohol rehab facilities to help help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been doable initially. For example, one client's price for rehabilitation may be different and lower than another person whose finances are better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehabilitation. Registrars take into account additional factors aside from income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
