Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who should be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health solutions as part of their treatment procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment services with regards to intensity of care, since the individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a treatment facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even though this may appear perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of centers, and in such cases individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment strategy. 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 rehabilitation 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 rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment program that is inside their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and meet with a rehab counselor to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of preference.
