Hospital Inpatient

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

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the low end of the spectrum of rehab services with regards to level of care, because the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways with no commitment of needing to be in a rehab program while undergoing treatment services. Although this may seem ideal it will not provide the much needed change of atmosphere than lots of people in recovery require to have a productive rehab.

Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse problems are what are recognized in the field of drug treatment as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders during treatment to find resolution because one usually triggers the other. Luckily, there are many drug treatment facilities who can specifically address the challenges that persons with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues face to enable them to not only become abstinent but mentally stable 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 are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the challenges their impairment impose on them. While detection of this problem is often hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL as well as other assistance services designed for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services might include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are receiving the support they require in alcohol and drug rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the entire cost of treatment or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab center that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehabilitation centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in setting up the individual's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab facility that is inside their network of providers and there can be other limitations including how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as 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 much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it is clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehab center of choice.
