Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who needs to be safely managed through detoxification services when heavily addicted to alcohol and drugs, or who wants a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehabilitation process. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, rehabilitation facilities will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment centers will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present another form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type 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 costs of drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of alcohol and drug treatment service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab facility which is in their network of providers and there can be other limitations including the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality program they like and meet with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities as well as partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There can be some restrictions about how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is allowed, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.
