Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anybody that must be safely managed through detoxification services when seriously dependent to alcohol and drugs, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services during their rehab procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to intensity of care, as the individual can keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. Even though this might appear ideal it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in rehab have to have to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab centers accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation 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 setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations about just how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
