Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detox services when heavily 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 requires mental health services as part of their treatment procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person'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 great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug treatment facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If a person has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some type of drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is within their network of providers and there may be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can select an excellent center they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There might be some restrictions regarding just how long a stay in inpatient drug treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab program of choice.
