Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are accessible to anyone that needs to be safely managed through detox services when heavily dependent to drugs and/or alcohol, or who requires a better spectrum of care such as somebody who has a dual diagnosis so also needs mental health services during their treatment process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services available.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the total cost of treatment or will only pay for 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 select whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to cover a more quality rehab program which will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in setting up the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not an option. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug treatment service including outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment centers. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and meet with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehab solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions will be answered before you begin rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.
