Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone who has to be safely managed through detox services when seriously addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who wants a better spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions during their rehab process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab require to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders during treatment to find resolution due to the fact one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug rehabilitation programs that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities have the staff or wherewithal to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more centers that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study info and the like are now frequently available in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehabilitation is available too around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality treatment facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and speak with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation program of choice.
