Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to intensity of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to stay in a treatment center while undergoing treatment services. While this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehab 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 physician, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug treatment facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab center of preference.
