Hospital Inpatient

There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a treatment center while receiving treatment services. While this might appear perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than lots of people in rehab require to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and substance abuse problems are what are known in the field of drug and alcohol rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders during treatment to find resolution due to the fact one typically exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are several drug rehabilitation programs that can specifically address the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues face to be able to not just become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Seniors/Older Adults

Seniors and older adults who struggle with drug abuse could possibly have unique obstacles they have to overcome during treatment, which rehabilitation specialists within the center they opt to be a part of must be keen of in order that a complete recovery is possible. So for seniors and older adults, it is prudent to pick a center that is accustomed to helping seniors and older adults deal with the distinctive life and substance abuse issues that these clients face which can include a broader spectrum of services including medical care and so on.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services readily available for them when substance abuse rehab is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are obtaining the support they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a much more leverage simply because they can select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only inside 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 kind of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab programs. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.
