Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than many individuals in rehabilitation have to have to experience a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. Likewise, rehab facilities will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment center that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 aid in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered 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 Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine 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 within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that's in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in order to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. By way of example, one client's price for treatment could be different and lower than another person whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars take into account additional factors in addition to income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
