Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody that should be safely managed through detox services when intensely dependent to drugs and alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehab procedure. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who battle with drug abuse could have distinctive obstacles they must overcome when in rehabilitation, which treatment specialists in the center they elect to take part in must be keen of to ensure a full recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to choose a program that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults tackle the unique life and drug use problems that these clients face which might include a broader spectrum of solutions including medical treatment and so on.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can sometimes be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are obtaining the help they require in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation programs will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations including the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and meet with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as 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 consultant. There may be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.
