Drug Addiction Facts

  • The main benefit of inpatient treatment is ready access to the therapeutic community. Patients are involved in a recovery environment in which all are committed to breaking the drug/alcohol addiction.
  • All inpatient treatment facilities should be very aware that no real rehab can take place unless or until the patient is physically stable. Therefore, once a new patient has been assessed and properly evaluated, they undergo any and all medically monitored detox. The detoxification process can take anywhere from 3 to 14 days depending the kind and amount of drugs and or alcohol the patient has been abusing.
  • There are some inpatient programs that do not require a long period of admission, however, in these programs, the patient might stay at the facility for a few weeks, and then transition to an outpatient program for additional intensive care.

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anybody who has to be safely managed through detox services when seriously addicted to drugs, or who requires a broader spectrum of care such as someone who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also needs mental health solutions as part of their rehab procedure. You can find both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired can often be prone to alcoholism and drug abuse because of the problems their impairment impose on them. While detection of the problem can often be hard among the hearing impaired, you will find ASL and also other assistance services designed for them when substance abuse rehabilitation is required. Aside from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video resources so that deaf and hearing impaired folks are getting the support they need in alcohol and drug rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab centers will usually provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present some other type of private medical health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment within a limited amount of facilities, and in cases like this individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehabilitation program that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare 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 Medicare Part B.

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 treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals could have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab center that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all 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 may be some limitations concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehab so that it is clear how long and individual can remain in the treatment facility of choice.
