Hospital Inpatient

There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders are what are identified in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in rehab in order to find resolution because one often exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are many alcohol and drug treatment centers who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face so that they can not merely become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Persons With HIV/AIDS

Persons with HIV/AIDS who require drug abuse rehabilitation will frequently need services beyond what a traditional alcohol and drug rehabilitation center can provide. Because comprehensive medical services will often be a vital aspect of the physical process of recovery for addicts with HIV/AIDS, who likely have experienced a progression and worsening of the disease because of their addiction, it is crucial that these clients receive the health care required in conjunction with any rehab solutions for his or her substance abuse problem.

Gays and Lesbians

It is essential that gays and lesbians acquire quality rehabilitation solutions within a rehab environment that is discreet and has rehabilitation professionals at their disposal who comprehend the distinctive problems that they can experience in life. Because drug abuse for gays and lesbians is oftentimes triggered by the challenges they face due to their sexual preference, a program that can help them handle these issues and give them the confidence they may have lacked before arriving in rehabilitation could be a crucial aspect of recovery for gay and lesbian clients.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who battle with drug use may have unique challenges they have to conquer when in rehabilitation, which rehabilitation professionals in the facility they elect to take part in have to be keen of in order that a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to select a center that is used to helping seniors and older adults address the distinctive life and substance abuse issues that these clients face which may include a broader spectrum of services including health care and so on.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals might want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at alcohol and drug treatment centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type 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 drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals could have to participate in a drug rehab center which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs as well as partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions about how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs in order to help clients afford rehab where this may not have been possible originally. For example, one client's price for treatment might be different and lower than somebody else whose finances are better which makes them more prepared to spend the money for full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account other factors besides income including amount of dependents to ascertain the final cost using the sliding scale.
