Will Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers Accept Insurance?

Addiction is considered a disease and most health insurance policies offer some form of coverage for drug and alcohol rehab. Addiction is a chronic disease of the mind and body, and is treated like many other chronic illnesses. Therapy methods are employed and medications are prescribed, in some situations.

If you don't have health insurance, your employer may cover some of the treatment costs, or you may qualify for state-based assistance. Also, some treatment centers will work with you and allow you to pay for treatment in installments.

Some health insurance companies may only cover a certain number of days in rehab, for example the first 30 days. Most treatment centers offer treatment in 30, 45 or 90 day increments. Depending on the substance(s), and the patient's degree of addiction, additional rehabilitation time may be required for an effective recovery. Maintaining a sober life is a life-long journey, and recovering addicts best help themselves by joining aftercare after their rehab, and join weekly group meetings and participate in a 12-step program.

If you still can't afford treatment, don't stress out over it. Call around and talk to treatment facilities in your area and do price comparisons. Also ask about outpatient treatment, as it is less expensive than inpatient. Consider traveling to another city for your treatment. Traveling for treatment gets you away of the negative influences that contributed to your use of substances in the first place.

When you finish rehab, think about the next steps of your ongoing battle to remain sober. Many recovering addicts find support by joining a group meeting. Group meetings provide a source of support and friendships with people who struggle with the same addiction as you. You can also find mentorship by finding a sponsor at a group meeting. Also, many recovering addicts attribute their success to the 12-steps, and they may be effective for you too. The 12-steps are designed around the understanding that we are powerless against addiction, and need the help of a higher power to overcome addiction.
