Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that must be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions during their rehab procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of treatment solutions regarding level of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to remain in a rehab center while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this may appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than lots of people in rehabilitation have to have to have a productive rehab.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who have trouble with drug use may have unique obstacles they have to conquer while in treatment, which rehabilitation specialists in the program they decide to be a part of must be keen of to ensure that a full recovery is achievable. So for seniors and older adults, it is wise to choose a center that is familiar with helping seniors and older adults address the distinctive life and drug abuse issues that these clients face which can include a broader spectrum of solutions including medical treatment and the like.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is needed. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are receiving the support they need in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever program they want without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, treatment centers will often offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. 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 covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone has no 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 fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility which is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations such as the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and consult with a treatment specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as 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 might be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.
