Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that must be safely managed through detox services when seriously dependent to alcohol and drugs, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services during their rehab process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery require to have a productive rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities possess the staff or resources to cater to the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but fortunately there are more and more facilities that are able to do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Counselling, study info and the like are actually frequently accessible in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential rehabilitation and outpatient Spanish rehab is available too nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. In addition, rehab programs will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's in their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.
