Drug Treatment Help Request

Hospital Inpatient

Hospital inpatient services are available to anyone who has to be safely managed through detox services when intensely addicted to drugs, or who needs a broader spectrum of care such as somebody who is dealing with a dual diagnosis and also requires mental health services during their rehab process. There are both short-term and long-term hospital inpatient services accessible.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance won't pay for the total cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but people actually have a great deal of leverage simply because they can choose whichever facility they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women face. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present any other kind of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab facility which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at alcohol and drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the program is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug rehab if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with 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 rehab, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals might have to take part in a drug treatment program that is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality facility they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.
