Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone that should be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely dependent to drugs, or who wants 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. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem is often difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse treatment is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services may include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they require in drug treatment.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, treatment programs will often provide payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a good center they like and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the costs of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as 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 representative. There can be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can remain in the treatment facility of preference.
