Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to intensity of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Even though this may appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in treatment require to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance 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 treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can 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 take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug treatment center that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug treatment facilities to help help individuals afford rehab where this may not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's fee for rehab may be different and somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of treatment. Registrars consider additional factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.
