You’ve hit a wall when it comes to your addiction. Your life is falling apart. Your job is at risk. Your relationships are in trouble. You can’t afford to burn any more bridges.

Your health insurance is the first thing that we will look at when it comes to paying for your treatment plan. Most insurance companies provide coverage for detox and rehab programs for drug and alcohol abuse. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, treatment for alcohol and drug abuse is considered essential. Private insurance companies are required to offer you coverage in some way under the law. You may be receiving coverage provided by the state or your employer. It all depends on your circumstances. What your coverage includes will depend on your plan. Our representatives will do the work for you when it comes to verifying your insurance coverage.
Once we have researched your insurance coverage for detox, we will discuss what is included by your insurance provider. Your insurance company may cover a limited time for inpatient treatment, such as 21 days. In some cases, they may approve an extension for residential treatment upon the request of your doctor. In other cases, you may be provided with coverage for medications to complete your detox at home combined with outpatient counseling. You may have to pay a co-pay. We will make sure all costs are clear to you before beginning treatment.
