Because so many individuals cannot afford health insurance or their jobs don't offer any type of private health coverage, many states offer state insurance for many who are unable to get hold of private health care insurance. State insurance covers standard health care services, but often times also covers rehabilitation for substance abuse in many different rehabilitation settings. State insurance will allow for individuals to obtain high quality care, when they would otherwise not have access to such an opportunity because of no health insurance and not being able to self pay. State insurance covers rehabilitation in both an outpatient drug rehab program or even an inpatient or residential program if it treatment methods are deemed necessary. The long-term inpatient and residential drug treatment centers paid for by state insurance are the more superior treatment alternative if available, though it may be a bigger commitment the results and projected outcomes are much more evident as compared to less extensive programs such as outpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. If a person has state insurance and would like to learn more about their rehab options they can speak with their local state insurance office or work with a drug treatment center of choice who may already have this info and may get clients entered rehabilitation right away.
