Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who needs to be safely managed through detox services when intensely dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health services during their treatment process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services offered.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will usually provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation center that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug treatment facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab 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 expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can 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 take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to take part in a drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as 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 could be some restrictions as to how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can remain in the treatment center of choice.
