Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who must be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. You will find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these situations, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact 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, treatment centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some form of alcohol and drug rehab service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug rehabilitation program that is in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.
