How Much Does Rehab Cost?

The cost of your drug rehabilitation depends on what type of treatment you receive. Many health insurance providers cover a 30-day drug treatment program, usually listed under behavioral and mental health coverage. The first step you should take is to speak with your health insurance provider to find out exactly what you are covered for.

Our insurance counselor will work with you to see if there are other types of coverage you may be entitled to such as Medicaid, or Tricare for veterans. If you are having difficulty understanding insurance terminology, our counselor can help with that also.

Your health insurance coverage is also determined by the type of plan you have – an HMO or PPO. If you have an HMO, you have to attend a treatment facility that is in your insurance provider’s network of contracted rehab centers. An HMO does not typically cover drug rehab treatment outside of the provider’s network.

PPO coverage means that you have coverage both in-network and out-of-network. Out-of-network costs are usually higher than in-network costs, and whatever is not covered by your insurance will have to be paid by you. Our insurance counselor is an expert at defining health insurance language, and finding out if you are entitled to more coverage than you were aware of.

Does Insurance Cover Residential Rehab?

Your rehabilitation treatment must be considered a “medical necessity” by your insurance provider before they will pay for treatment. What “level of care” you are eligible for will also have to be determined. You will have to be evaluated physically and psychologically to establish what type of treatment will work best for your needs and situation. Here at Legacy Healing Center, you can receive that evaluation to determine your status, and whether your insurance provider considers you eligible for our 30-day drug rehab in South Florida.

Different levels of care at our rehabilitation center can include a medical detox, outpatient care, partial hospitalization, or residential. Each of these program options varies in program length. Some insurance policies only cover a certain number of days in treatment, so depending on the program length chosen for you, you might have to take an alternative payment option to continue treatment at the rehab facility. Look at this as an investment in yourself and your health, as rehab treatment will provide a fresh start.

Your medical history is also taken into account to determine health coverage, such as:

• If you need a drug detox
• If you have physical health problems
• If you have a co-occurring mental disorder like: depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, PTSD, etc.

Depending on the severity of your illness and individual needs, your insurance provider will determine what level of care you are eligible for. They will also assess what percentage of the total cost they will cover, such as an 80/20 or 60/40 split – meaning they will pay for either 60 or 80 percent of the total charge and you will have to pay the rest.

Assessing the level of care that you are entitled to for behavioral health can be complicated and varied, so it is best that you let our insurance counselor explore all your options for you. Having your health evaluation performed here at Legacy Healing Center is necessary because your health provider needs the information to determine what level of care they will cover.

Our insurance counselors deal with insurance companies on a daily basis, and know how to navigate the system to get you the best insurance coverage possible that will meet your rehabilitation needs.

If you do not have health insurance, you should do an accounting of your assets to determine a budget to pay for rehab treatment. Perhaps you could borrow money from your savings account, family or friends, a 401k, a credit card or home equity line of credit. Certain rehab centers may also offer a financial repayment plan to help cover your costs. After you have decided how to pay for treatment, speak with one of our counselors so that they can find you the most effective and affordable treatment program that can meet your needs.

What Is the Difference Between Inpatient and Outpatient?

There is a difference between inpatient and outpatient care, and both should be explored before deciding which treatment option is best suited to meeting your needs and budget. Our inpatient 30-day drug rehab in South Florida provides you with an intensive treatment program in a structured environment that is designed to treat serious addictions.

You will remain in our rehab facility until you complete your treatment program. Inpatient care has a higher success rate than outpatient care because you will not have any distractions from the outside world to take your focus off of getting well. Inpatient care can last from 28 days to 6 months or longer, depending on a variety of factors. During your stay at Legacy Healing Center drug rehab, you will receive 24/7 medical and emotional support.

Outpatient care is designed for individuals who have to go to work or school, or have minor dependents that they have to care for. The patient maintains their normal daily routine while also receiving treatment at our rehab center. Outpatient care is less expensive and is suitable for individuals who have a less serious drug addiction problem. Treatment is usually about 10 to 12 hours per week, and can last from three months to one year or more.
