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 will be able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation program while receiving rehab services. Even if this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab within 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 center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also 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 may be some restrictions concerning the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.
