Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Individuals might have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehab facility which is within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions including how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and meet with a treatment specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative.
