Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone who needs to be safely managed through detoxification services when seriously addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions as part of their rehab procedure. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of treatment services regarding level of care, because the individual is able to preserve their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a treatment facility while receiving treatment services. Even though this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than many individuals in rehab have to have to experience a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders are what are recognized in the field of drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders during treatment to find resolution simply because one often exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are numerous drug rehabilitation programs who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face so that they can not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and never consider it wise to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the challenges that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can often be difficult among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse treatment is required. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired people are getting the help they require in drug and alcohol rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, treatment centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation facility which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment strategy. 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 rehabilitation being covered 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 rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some form of drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could have to participate in a drug treatment facility that's in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab facility of preference.
