You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the issue can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment 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 expense of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug rehabilitation program that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations including how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities offer payment assistance to help clients who might possibly not have sufficient money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or full coverage for their stay. For example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term program when in fact a long-term program will be the more appropriate selection. To see what payment assistance could be available, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the center for details.
