Because so many individuals can't afford health coverage or their jobs don't offer any sort of private health coverage, many states offer state insurance for individuals who are unable to obtain private health insurance. State insurance covers basic health care services, but often times also covers treatment for drug abuse in a variety of rehab settings. State insurance will allow for individuals to receive quality treatment, when they would otherwise not have this opportunity because of no health insurance and the inability to self pay. State insurance covers rehab either in an outpatient drug rehabilitation facility or even an inpatient or residential program issue treatment methods are deemed necessary. The long-term inpatient and residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities paid for by state insurance will be the more superior rehabilitation option if available, even though it is a bigger commitment the results and long-term outcomes are significantly more proven as compared to less extensive programs such as outpatient drug and alcohol rehab facilities. If a person has state insurance and would like to learn more about their rehab options they can talk to their local state insurance office or work with a drug and alcohol rehab center of preference who may already have this information and can get clients entered rehabilitation without delay.
