Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehab require to have 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 cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good center they like and consult with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations as to the length of time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by many different alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities in order to help individuals afford rehab where this might not have been doable originally. For example, one client's fee for treatment may be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them better able to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
