Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that has to be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehab process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehab solutions with regards to intensity of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehabilitation facility while undergoing rehab services. While this might seem perfect it may not provide the required change of environment than lots of people in recovery have to have to have a successful rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are identified in the field of alcohol and drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These individuals must handle both disorders while in rehab to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol rehab programs who are able to specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally secure and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and drug abuse due to the problems their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can sometimes be difficult among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services available for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is necessary. Other than ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are receiving the support they require in drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehab facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the individual's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as 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 drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a choice. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals may have to participate in a drug rehab program that is inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of choice.
