Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detox services when heavily addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services as part of their rehab procedure. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment centers accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other kind of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. 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 rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility which is within their network of providers and there can be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.
