Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that should be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily dependent to drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services as part of their treatment process. You will find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to level of care, because the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Even though this might seem ideal it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehabilitation have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Criminal Justice Clients

Criminal justice clients get into rehab due to a court order to meet part of their sentencing for any drug offense. Criminal justice clients in alcohol and drug treatment frequently receive reduced penalties, fines etc. when being cooperative with drug and alcohol rehab specifications enforced on them in sentencing and particularly naturally when successfully graduating a drug rehab center.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when drug abuse treatment is necessary. Besides ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the help they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug and alcohol treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's rehab plan. 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 paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality program they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will handle 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 in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
