We brought my dad to the ER yesterday with a high fever. Within 20 minutes, he was evaluated. From that point on, he received excellent care from Dr Saunders and the entire staff! Nick, who was my dad’s nurse, took exceptional care of him all day. He was admitted. The process of getting him to his room was seamless. Overall, great experience.

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience with Geisinger staff. As a brand new patient, this was a terrible introduction to the healthcare system.
Over the weekend leading up to my scheduled procedure, our area was hit by a severe storm, and we lost power for multiple days. Because of this, I was unable to properly complete my pre-surgery preparations. I tried everything humanly possible to keep my appointment and make things work under impossible circumstances—unfortunately, I cannot control the weather or command a storm to pass just because I have a medical procedure scheduled.
When I called the office to responsibly cancel and explain the situation, the staff was remarkably rude, dismissive, and lacked basic empathy. To make matters worse, I was hung up on twice.
As a new patient, no one in that building knows me, and there is zero excuse for staff members to treat people in distress this way. Because of this unacceptable treatment, I am canceling my procedure permanently and going elsewhere. If the staff handling patient communication are this nasty and rude, I certainly do not trust them with my safety while putting me under anesthesia. That complete lack of care is deeply concerning, and Geisinger seriously needs to reevaluate its staff training and standards.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
