Inpatient Rehab Admission Criteria
The main criteria for inpatient rehab admission, beyond having a substance use problem, include:
- Severity of condition: Inpatient rehab is generally for those with severe addiction or mental health issues that require intensive treatment and 24/7 care.
- Medical need: A doctor or specialist usually needs to determine that inpatient care is medically necessary for effective treatment.
- Failed outpatient treatment: Sometimes, inpatient rehab is suggested if outpatient rehab has not worked or the person has relapsed.
- Mental health issues: If someone has both an addiction and a mental health condition, they might need the comprehensive care that inpatient rehab provides.
- Safety concerns: Those who are at risk of harming themselves or others might require the supervision and structure of inpatient rehab.
There are no fixed criteria for inpatient rehab. If you feel that this intensive form of treatment makes sense, consult your doctor and contact suitable rehabs for advice.
Will My Insurance Cover Inpatient Rehab?
Whether your insurance will cover inpatient rehab depends on your specific plan. Most insurance companies provide some level of coverage for inpatient rehab, but the amount varies. Review your policy and consult with an admissions counselor to understand what is covered.
Medicare Part A helps pay for important care at inpatient rehab or a hospital. To have this covered by Medicare, your doctor must say that you need this intense form of treatment and close watching by medical staff, as well as from doctors and therapists working together.
Private health insurance plans also cover at least part of the costs of inpatient rehab, if this form of treatment is considered vital for recovery.

How to Get Admitted to Inpatient Rehab FAQs
What’s the first step in getting admitted to inpatient rehab?
The first step is to contact a rehab center to discuss your situation and set up an initial assessment. The assessment helps determine your needs and the best treatment plan for you.
Will an admissions counselor help me check my insurance coverage?
Yes, most rehab centers have admissions counselors who can help verify your insurance coverage and explain what is and isn’t covered.
Can I use FMLA for rehab?
Yes, you can use the FMLA for rehab if your condition qualifies. It allows you to take unpaid leave without risking your job.
Will my employer know I’m going to rehab?
Your employer will only know if you tell them. FMLA protects your privacy, and your employer will not have access to specific medical details unless you choose to share them.
