Maine Long-Term Drug Rehab

We believe at DRS that when it comes to overcoming an addiction to alcohol and drugs, long-term treatment is the most effective approach. Here are a few reasons why:

• When a person attends a long-term program in Maine, they are away from their usual environment and any triggers or distractions that can come with it.
• Being surrounded by people working toward the same goal and professionals who can help them through the process is also a great benefit.
• During treatment, clients can have access to medical and psychological support whenever it is needed.
• The support does not end once they leave the facility, as comprehensive aftercare programs are often provided to ensure a smooth reintegration into society.

GUIDE TO FINDING TREATMENT

Paying for Treatment in Maine

When ending a drug or alcohol addiction, patients will typically face some drug treatment cost. In Maine, there are several options available for substance use treatment to ensure that regardless of the individual and their income, they can receive care. Medicaid, private health insurance, and other payment options are available at treatment centers throughout the state to help the residents receive assistance with their drug treatment care.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Maine

Maine has been utilizing government funding for Medicaid, which has caused the state to experience lower than national average rates of uninsured rates. Medicaid insurance allows patients in Maine to utilize drug and alcohol rehab. These programs work directly with Medicaid to cover the individual’s treatment costs. Many programs that accept Medicaid are heavily utilized, so it can be challenging to enroll in treatment initially. There may still be some costs associated with the treatment; however, it should be cost-effective for everyone. Medicaid will be able to direct you to which programs are covered and available.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in Maine

The state of Maine also has many drug and alcohol rehab facilities that accept private health insurance, which is another great way to pay for drug treatment. All health insurance providers must cover at least all basic drug treatment needs. The covered programs will be based on what types of drug treatment programs the insurance provider works with. Private health insurance providers typically work with better quality programs, so often, if you have private health insurance, you can utilize higher quality care. Your insurance provider can explain your policy and the programs they will cover.

According to the Maine Health Insurance Marketplace 2022 Guide, the following insurers are available in Maine:

• Community Health Options
• Harvard Pilgrim HMOs
• Anthem
• Taro Health

Paying for Treatment When Uninsured

Though there is a high rate of insured residents throughout the state, there is still a small percentage of people that are not insured. If you do not have health insurance, treatment costs can be significant. Sliding scale fees are a type of financial assistance for the uninsured, allowing the patients to pay based on their income rather than a set fee. Split-up payments are also typically available to even further help patients that need a drug and alcohol treatment program.  DRS can help anyone, regardless of insurance type, enroll in a drug rehab program as soon as possible.

DRS’ Evaluation of Maine Drug Rehabs
