The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol treatment center which is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select a good program they like and speak with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will handle it.

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some restrictions as to how much time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug treatment is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale
