Insurance Coverage

Most insurance covers treatment. Yours probably does too.

Addiction treatment is healthcare, and federal law requires most plans to cover it on par with other medical care. The real question is not whether you are covered, but what your specific plan covers and what your share of the cost looks like. We answer both, for free, before you commit to anything.

The Short Answer

Why your plan likely covers addiction treatment

Two federal laws changed the picture for anyone seeking treatment. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires most health plans that cover mental health and substance use treatment to do so on terms no more restrictive than they apply to medical and surgical care. The Affordable Care Act went further and named substance use disorder services an essential health benefit, which means most individual and small-group plans have to include it.

In practice, that means medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and related care are commonly covered. What differs from plan to plan is the share you pay, things like your deductible, copay, coinsurance, and whether a particular campus is in-network. That is exactly what a benefits check sorts out, and it is the reason we never quote a number until we have actually run your plan.

Private pay clients are also eligible for our Treatment Assurance Program, our promise to bring you back for a stabilization stay at no additional cost if you complete treatment and relapse within a year.
