Medical detox: This supervised process helps safely manage a patient’s withdrawal symptoms and can support the transition to ongoing treatment.
Inpatient/residential treatment: This type of treatment offers around-the-clock care in a safe, structured setting. Patients with severe addictions receive therapy and support.
Partial hospitalization programs: This is often a step down from inpatient care. It provides intensive treatment during the day but patients can return home at night.
Intensive outpatient programs: This non-residential program is focused on therapy and support and offers patients flexibility so they can maintain daily responsibilities at home, school, or work.

Does Anthem BCBS of Nevada (Elevance) Cover Dual Diagnosis Treatment?

If you are living with a substance use disorder (SUD) and another mental health condition, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), you are not alone. Nearly half of the individuals with SUD also have a co-occurring mental health disorder, also known as a dual diagnosis.⁸

If you have a dual diagnosis, it is better to treat both conditions together rather than separately. This is because studies show that people with mental health disorders may use substances like drugs and alcohol as a form of self-medication.⁸

If you or a loved one have a dual diagnosis, your Anthem BCBS of Nevada (Elevance) plan should cover some, if not all, of your treatments for mental health and dual diagnosis treatments as mandated by the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).⁹ Many rehab facilities in Nevada offer treatment for individuals with a dual diagnosis. These facilities use an integrated approach to properly address and treat both conditions.
