Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who needs to be safely managed through detox services when intensely dependent to drugs and alcohol, or who wants a better spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehab procedure. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and consult with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab center of preference.
