Drug Addiction Facts

  • The main benefit of inpatient treatment is ready access to the therapeutic community. Individuals are engaged in a recovery environment in which all are committed to breaking the addiction.
  • In 2009, 750,000 methadone prescriptions were written for pain relief, but only 250,000 people were treated with the drug for opiate addiction.
  • Inpatient drug rehabilitation recovery options are found in many forms, but the primary purpose is keeping the individual stay somewhere during their treatment so he/she can focus on healing, without the interruption of daily life to open the door to using drugs or alcohol.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who must be safely managed through detoxification services when seriously addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health services as part of their rehab procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL as well as other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Aside from ASL, such services might include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the support they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation programs will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

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

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you begin rehab so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab facility of choice.
