Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who must be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services during their treatment process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use as a result of challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab facility that is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for 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 limitations about how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
