Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody who must be safely managed through detox services when seriously dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services as part of their rehabilitation procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation center while receiving rehab services. Although this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation need to experience a productive rehab.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with drug use may have distinctive challenges they have to conquer when in rehabilitation, which rehabilitation professionals within the center they decide to take part in should be keen of so that a complete recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to select a center that's used to helping seniors and older adults handle the unique life and substance abuse problems that these clients face which can include a broader spectrum of services including medical care and so on.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the issue can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they need in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
