Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who must be safely managed through detoxification services when seriously addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services as part of their rehab process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services regarding level of care, because the individual can maintain their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment facility while receiving treatment services. Even though this might seem ideal it may not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehabilitation require to have a productive rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse as a result of problems that their impairment impose on them. While detection of this issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, there are ASL along with other assistance services available for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the help they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private health care insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality treatment program that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some form of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is inside their network of providers and there could be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent center they prefer and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative.
