Yes, insurance for addiction treatment is offered by all major insurance providers and accepted by most detox and treatment programs. Your individual insurance policy will determine what treatment options are included for substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health treatment.
Nothing should keep you from pursuing the best version of yourself—the one your family, friends, and coworkers rely on to show up in a positive and healthy way. At The Last Resort, we’re excited to partner with a number of major insurance companies as both an in-network and out-of-network provider.
To verify your insurance for substance abuse treatment and mental health care coverage, contact our offices today. We’ll walk you through the whole process and answer all of your questions.
The ACA classifies substance use disorder as one of the 10 essential health benefits that all health insurance plans must include.[1] This means there will be some form of coverage available to you, but the scope of treatment (inpatient, outpatient, or other type of treatment) will vary from policy to policy. With this law in place, more healthcare providers can offer these life-saving services, increasing access to essential care.
Substance abuse insurance coverage will vary from policy to policy across the full continuum of care, from detoxification and inpatient treatment to aftercare and sober living. At The Last Resort, we’re an in-network provider with most major insurance carriers and offer the full spectrum of drug and alcohol addiction treatment services
There are other options when substance abuse insurance isn’t available or doesn’t cover all of the treatment you need.
Substance abuse insurance coverage is available through Medicare when treatment is deemed necessary and reasonable.
Medicaid is a state-specific service for those who qualify but may cover substance use disorder treatment.
If your health coverage doesn’t cover the full cost of rehab, we are happy to work out sustainable payment plans to cover any additional out-of-pocket expenses and ensure you receive the rehab treatment you need.
You may qualify for a grant to cover drug and alcohol rehab. Some are state-funded, and others are available through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and other local charitable organizations.
The cost of treatment is different for each client, as their individualized treatment plan will not be identical to anyone else’s. The cost of rehab is influenced by the level of care needed, co-occurring mental health disorders, insurance coverage, deductibles, copays, and more. Verify your insurance coverage to determine the overall cost and what you may be responsible for out-of-pocket.
This will depend on your insurance policy, but in most cases, yes. At The Last Resort ranch, our detox and addiction treatment programs are inpatient services, and we are an in-network provider with many major insurance companies.
You can easily verify your insurance by calling our office to quickly get clarity on what is covered and any additional cost expectations.
