Paying for Treatment in Vermont

Drug and alcohol abuse most commonly requires a drug rehabilitation program to help the addict overcome the addiction. The cost of these programs can cause an already challenging process to be more so. With the various types of financial support, such as health insurance, Medicaid, sliding scale fee, and more, patients can afford more treatment options.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Vermont

Vermont has had relatively low rates of uninsured residents for years, and one of the reasons is due to the Medicaid expansion. With the help of Medicaid, patients who otherwise would not have the means to pay for a drug rehab program can use their Medicaid policy to pay for drug treatment. Medicaid treatment centers are typically 28-to-30-day inpatient programs to help clients end their substance use problems. Not every center accepts Medicaid, so knowing which programs near you will work with your insurance is important.

Using Private Insurance to Pay for Drug Rehab in Vermont

Private health insurance offers some of the best coverage for substance use treatment programs as these health insurance providers tend to work with higher-quality programs. Vermont offers residents private health insurance plans to help ease health care costs, including drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. The insurance providers will work with specific drug treatment centers, and those programs tend to be of higher caliber program than most, but that can also come with a cost.

According to the Vermont Health Insurance Marketplace Guide 2023, the following insurers are available in Vermont:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont
• MVP

Paying for Treatment When Uninsured

Health insurance is the primary way people afford treatment, so for those that do not have any form of health insurance, seeking out treatment can seem impossible. Thankfully, there are options to help patients without insurance to afford treatment, including self-pay programs which usually offer a payment plan. Another option is a sliding scale fee which calculates the cost of the program based on the client’s income rather than one set cost. These options have expanded the availability of treatment for many. All drug users must seek out the care of a drug treatment program, and DRS can assist you with finding one to fit all your needs.

DRS’ Evaluation of Vermont Drug Rehabs

Vermont has adequate assistance to help residents afford substance use treatment, despite the limited number of treatment options. The bulk of treatment options is outpatient facilities. There are limited residential and detoxification options. We recommend contacting the available services and considering what is available out of state.

Financially, the bulk of all programs in the state takes Medicaid or private health insurance. In addition, most facilities take state-financed health insurance other than Medicaid. Many of the facilities provide sliding fee scales or treatment at no charge or minimal payment for clients who cannot pay. Contacting multiple programs and asking about payment options is a good idea. In addition, contact your local Medicaid office or health insurance provider to find out what is covered.
