Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who should be safely managed through detoxification services when seriously addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who wants a better spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health solutions during their rehabilitation process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab solutions regarding level of care, since the individual can keep their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to remain in a rehab facility while undergoing rehabilitation services. Even if this might seem perfect it may not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery require to experience a successful rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug use issues are what are identified in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must tackle both disorders when it's in treatment to find resolution because one typically exacerbates the other. Fortunately, there are several drug and alcohol rehab programs who can specifically hone in on the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and substance abuse disorders face to enable them to not just become abstinent but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not wish to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in setting up the person's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should talk with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug rehab facility which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good center they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers 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 may be some limitations about the length of time a stay in inpatient drug treatment is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.
