Partial Hospitalization/Day Treatment

Partial hospitalization, or Day Treatment as it is often called, is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program set up for individuals who need and desire a comprehensive and organized rehabilitation strategy and atmosphere yet don't need 24 hours a day care. It can help make individuals in rehab remain supported throughout the [[[rehab process without upsetting other activities they might need to sustain whilst in rehab. Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is also a choice for those who have completed an inpatient or residential facility and want assistance with the smooth transition back into an average drug-free lifestyle.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse issues are what are known in the field of drug rehabilitation as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must address both disorders whilst in rehab in order to find resolution due to the fact one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities who are able to specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to be able to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can select whichever program they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehab programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab center which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation center that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations including how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
