Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who needs to be safely managed through detox services when intensely dependent to drugs and alcohol, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services as part of their rehabilitation process. You'll find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the low end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions with regards to level of care, as the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to be in a treatment program while receiving treatment services. Even if this may seem perfect it may not provide the required change of atmosphere than many people in treatment require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must address both disorders when it's in treatment to find resolution simply because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are lots of drug and alcohol treatment centers who are able to specifically hone in on the issues that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse disorders face to enable them to not merely become sober but mentally stable and also able to lead a much higher quality lifestyle and not consider it wise to self medicate with drugs and alcohol.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be predisposed to alcoholism and substance abuse due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While discovery of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you'll find ASL along with other assistance services intended for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Other than ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are obtaining the help they need in drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to pay for a more quality treatment program which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if 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 individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind 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 expense of drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug treatment program that's inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations for example how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality center they prefer and consult with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the rehab program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance option provided by numerous alcohol and drug rehab centers in an effort to help clients pay for rehab where this might not have been possible initially. For instance, one client's fee for rehabilitation could possibly be different and less than somebody else whose finances are better making them more prepared to pay the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into account variables in addition to income including amount of dependents to determine the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
