Insurance Coverage for Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Health insurance is the primary way most people in the U.S. pay for medical care, including substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. While plans may vary, many cover a range of addiction rehab services such as detox, inpatient care, and outpatient programs. If you have health insurance, you may be able to use your benefits to help pay for addiction treatment and recovery support.

What Is Drug and Alcohol Rehab Insurance?

One of the main reasons that those struggling with drug and alcohol addiction go untreated is because of the cost of professional substance misuse rehabilitation treatment.

Rehab can be expensive and may deter some people from seeking out a recovery program. Fortunately, all marketplace insurance plans are required to provide some degree of coverage for the medically-necessary treatment of drug and alcohol addictions. This coverage is sometimes referred to as drug and alcohol rehab insurance and there are treatment centers that accept insurance to help with addiction recovery.
