Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who has to be safely managed through detox services when heavily dependent to drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions during their treatment procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse treatment is needed. Besides ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the help they need in drug rehabilitation.

Spanish

Not all drug treatment programs have the staff or wherewithal to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study data and the like are now very often accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms programs which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. 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 ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment program that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations like how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good facility they like and meet with a treatment counselor 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 costs of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some limitations as to just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment center of preference.
