Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who must be safely managed through detox services when seriously dependent to alcohol and drugs, or who needs a better spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual will be able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of having to remain in a rehab program while receiving treatment services. Although this might appear perfect it may not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in recovery need to experience a successful rehabilitation.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this issue can be difficult among the hearing impaired, you can find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is needed. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug treatment.

Spanish

Not all alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers possess the staff or wherewithal to cater to the needs of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more facilities that will do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than ever before. Therapy, study information and the like are now frequently obtainable in Spanish in both short and long terms centers which deliver inpatient or residential rehab and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals really have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will often offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present some other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehabilitation program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center 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 treatment plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being the same as any other type 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 may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically 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 form of drug and alcohol rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility that is inside their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they prefer and speak with a treatment counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehab services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions regarding how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of preference.
