Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that must be safely managed through detox services when intensely dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehabilitation process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug treatment facility that's in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions like the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
