Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone who should be safely managed through detoxification services when intensely addicted to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis so also requires mental health solutions as part of their treatment procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehab facilities have the staff or resources to cater to the demands of Spanish speaking clientele, but luckily there are more and more centers that can do so because the need for Spanish services is higher than previously. Counselling, study data and so on are actually very often obtainable in Spanish in both long and short terms facilities which provide inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available nationwide.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation inside a limited amount of programs, and in such cases individuals may choose to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehab center that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help in establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation 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 and alcohol treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only inside the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of alcohol and drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug treatment facilities. Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they prefer and consult with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative. There might be some restrictions about the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions will be answered before you start treatment so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
