Long-Term Rehabs in Ohio

The professional opinion of DRS is that long-term substance use treatment provides the best opportunities for treatment and life-long sobriety. Here are some reasons why:

• Individuals remain in treatment for an adequate time. Long-term programs provide well-rounded services that can last 30, 60, 90 days, or longer.
• Ohio’s long-term rehab centers provide more structure, routine, health habits, and healthy behaviors. Clients are surrounded by people 24/7 and have time to learn and change their ways.
• Residential long-term programs utilize more than one treatment methodology. No one form of treatment is right for every person. Therapy may include behavioral, holistic, faith-based, or experiential therapy.
• Clients generally have access to 24/7 medical care and support, which is crucial for difficult withdrawal and underlying medical conditions.
• Long-term programs have the time to attend to multiple needs, such as social, vocational, or legal problems.

GUIDE TO FINDING TREATMENT

Paying for Drug Rehab in Ohio

The cost of substance use treatment in Ohio depends on several factors. These can include the program length, type, and whether the person has health insurance coverage or not. Without insurance, rehab can be quite expensive. But thankfully, there are several options in Ohio for obtaining assistance with healthcare costs with or without health insurance.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Ohio

Medicaid can make it possible for someone to get treatment who otherwise may not be able to pay for the cost. In Ohio, Medicaid is accepted by numerous programs. But when one considers the number of people struggling with addiction in the state, it’s not surprising that many programs stay full and have waiting lists.

Using Private Insurance to Pay for Drug Rehab in Ohio

A private health insurance policy can be acquired through one’s employer or by paying for it. Private health insurance gives an individual an advantage when looking for rehab because most programs not funded by the state can only accept private health insurance. These policies can also substantially lower the cost of treatment.

Sadly, many people cannot afford private health insurance yet don’t meet the criteria to receive Medicare coverage. This is a common problem in many states. But thankfully, Ohio expanded its Medicare coverage program in 2013, and since then, enrollment has been up by 43 percent. Expanded Medicaid allows people who fall into this category to apply for assistance paying for private health insurance through participating providers.

The following insurers are available through the Ohio Health Insurance Marketplace Guide 2023:

• AultCare
• Ambetter
• CareSource
• Community Insurance Company
• Medical Health Insuring Corp. of Ohio
• Molina
• Oscar Buckeye State Insurance Corporation
• Oscar Insurance Corporation of Ohio 
• Paramount
• SummaCare
• UnitedHealthcare

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

Despite the resources mentioned above, some people will still not have insurance coverage to help them pay for treatment. In those cases, certain facilities may work with them if they are experiencing financial hardship. They may utilize a form of assistance known as sliding scale payments. With a sliding scale, the less income a person makes, the lower the program cost. Private pay options also offer payment plans so the cost may be broken up into smaller payments.

You can contact one of the treatment specialists at DRS for more information on how to pay for treatment, or contact the center directly.

DRS’ Evaluation of Ohio Drug Treatment

There are extensive substance use treatment options in Ohio. Most of the programs are private non-profit operations. Yet, there are limited resources operated at the state and local levels. We recommend contacting more than one program and asking about the admission process. Overall, there is an abundance of outpatient care available. In addition, residential programs and detox options are numerous, which is a plus, because residential programs are more optimal. If you are struggling to decide, an addiction assessment with a qualified professional will help.

Financially, substance use treatment is relatively affordable in the state. Most of the substance use treatment options accept Medicaid or private health insurance. A little less than half take state-financed health insurance plans other than Medicaid. Also, over half offer a sliding fee scale for low-income clients. Our experts recommend contacting more than one program. Ask about payment options. Contact your local Medicaid office or health insurance provider. Find out what insurance covers and begin narrowing the search from there.
