Detoxification

Detoxification from drugs and alcohol is a process which can be made a lot more manageable and safely overseen when in a professional detox or alcohol and drug rehab center. Often detoxification isn't without risk, and even with the best of intentions people who proceed through detoxification independently in order to get sober could actually be putting their own health as well as their lives at risk. It is usually advisable to look for detoxification solutions in a professional facility in order to avoid such dangers as well as have a smooth transition from detoxification to rehabilitation at a quality alcohol and drug treatment center.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who should be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services during their rehab process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they prefer and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab center of preference.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab centers offer payment assistance to help clients who may possibly not have enough funds to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. For instance, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term program when in fact a long-term center will probably be the more suitable selection. To determine what payment assistance could be available, say for example a sliding fee scale, check with the center for details.
