Types of Drug Rehab Treatment

Drug treatment programs are always based upon the specific needs of the individual and, if needed, can involve a variety of methods:

• Residential inpatient treatment is for clients who have completed or are near completion of their detox program. Both medical and non-medical options are available based on a client’s specific needs.
• Inpatient medical residential treatment involves pharmaceutical therapy and medication management from healthcare professionals to help clients safely work through recovery. Co-occurring disorders (dual-diagnosis) are also discussed and evaluated at this time.
• Outpatient treatment is available for individuals with less severe addiction and does not necessitate inpatient treatment. There are no overnight stays in the treatment facility, but clients are expected to visit the facility regularly. This method is ideal for clients who wish to maintain familial and employment responsibilities during their treatment.
• With non-medical inpatient treatment, it does not involve medication therapy, but still monitors clients through their detox process and transition into rehab, with a reduced level of medical supervision.
  Partial hospitalization programs involve a full schedule of therapy and drug treatment throughout the day, with the allowance that patients can go home at the end of the day. Depending on the facility, some onsite housing may also be offered.
• For all patients, aftercare is the final step in the healing process. The goal of aftercare is to help individuals transition back to their regular lives free of addiction issues and to remain in recovery for a lifetime.

Drug treatment programs most commonly include:

The cost of drug treatment varies considerably from one facility to another. Community health centers, non-profit or not-for-profit hospitals, and publicly funded rehab facilities provide recovery services at little or no cost. Forbes Magazine estimates that publicly funded drug treatment programs cost an average of approximately $1,500 at the low end, with the costlier specialized programs ranging up to $8,000 or more.

Sliding Scale Payments/Federal/State Funding

Sliding scale payment plans and federal or state funding (such as Medicare) are accepted at these facilities. At the opposite end of the spectrum are private facilities that offer treatment at a much higher rate, ranging from $30,000 to $60,000 and higher. Some of these facilities accept health insurance as payment, while others accept only cash payment in full at the time of admission.

Insurance

Not all drug treatment centers accept insurance, but many do. By the same token, not all health insurance plans fully cover rehab services. Some plans cover only outpatient programs, which are usually less expensive than inpatient or residential care, while others cover a wider range of options. Many insurance plans limit the amount of time they will pay for treatment.

It’s important to discuss these questions with your insurance provider as well as the intake counselors at the center where you’re seeking admission. An intake counselor or case manager should be available to answer your questions and to find out whether your insurance company will authorize payment for the facility’s services.
