Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who has to be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions during their rehab process. You will find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and also other assistance services available for them when drug abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Besides ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they need in drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part 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 decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment center that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility which is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality center they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning rehab so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the treatment center of choice.
