The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some type of drug treatment service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment facilities. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment center that's inside their network of providers and there may be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and consult with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale
