Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detox services when heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services as part of their rehab process. You will find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of treatment solutions with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways with no commitment of having to stay in a rehab facility while receiving treatment services. Although this might appear ideal it will not provide the much needed change of surroundings than many people in rehabilitation require to have a successful rehab.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehab is required. Aside from ASL, such services can include assistive listening tools and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they need in drug and alcohol treatment.

Spanish

Not all drug rehabilitation programs possess the staff or wherewithal to focus on the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more facilities that can do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than previously. Therapy, study info and the like are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which provide inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Other Languages

In every single city in America there is someone fighting substance abuse that isn't necessarily fluent in English, who may need rehab in whatever language it is they are fluent in so that their needs may be met properly during rehab. Luckily, there are many drug rehab facilities that have counselors on staff who speak other languages to make drug rehab the best experience possible for any individual. Simply locate a high quality alcohol and drug rehab program and inquire if it is possible to receive treatment in other languages.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a much more leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug treatment programs which deliver 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 physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions for example just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There may be some restrictions as to just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of choice.
