What Is Private Health Insurance?

Private health insurance is provided by privately owned insurance companies rather than government-run insurance programs (including Medicare and Medicaid). Plans obtained through your employer and those purchased outside of the workplace in the individual or family health insurance market fall under the private health insurance umbrella.3 There are a variety of types of private health insurance available.

Does Health Insurance Cover Private Rehab?

Health insurance may cover at least a portion of private rehab, but the amount depends on your individual insurance plan. While not all private facilities may accept insurance, a large percentage of private for-profit private facilities do, with 77.8% accepting private health insurance in 2020. Private nonprofit facilities also may accept private insurance, and they have a greater likelihood of accepting Medicare and Medicaid.6

What Type of Treatment is Covered by Private Health Insurance?

Getting the proper addiction treatment is important for your recovery effort. The type of treatment plan you need will depend on the severity of your addiction and where you are in the journey to well-being. You might start out at one level of treatment and work your way to another level, then continue until you don’t need treatment.

Some of the treatment programs you can expect to be covered may include:1, 2

  • Detox services: In some cases, you may need assistance when detoxing from drugs and alcohol, which can potentially be uncomfortable, painful, or even life-threatening. Medical detox helps you safely withdraw from drugs and alcohol, as you’ll receive around-the-clock medical supervision. You might also be given medications to help minimize withdrawal symptoms.
  • Inpatient or residential care: Inpatient/residential live-in treatment centers provide drug and alcohol rehab while you live onsite at the facility. Most inpatient programs last anywhere from 15–90 days, depending on the program you’re in and your individual needs.
  • Partial hospitalization (PHP): Partial hospitalization programs allow you to live at home while attending treatment during the day.
  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP): Intensive outpatient programs involve attending treatment programs a few evenings a week. In an intensive outpatient program, you can live at home and even go to work during the day.
  • Outpatient treatment: Individuals who have completed inpatient treatment often attend outpatient treatment for ongoing support on their journey to sobriety. You live at home and spend 10–12 hours a week at the treatment facility for therapy and support.

American Addiction Centers (AAC) has various rehab facilities around the country that provide drug and alcohol addiction treatment. If you have a private insurance plan, the following AAC facilities may accept your plan for drug and alcohol addiction rehab. These AAC facilities include:

What is Luxury Drug and Alcohol Rehab?

Luxury rehab is similar to other types of drug and alcohol addiction rehab in many ways, including the incorporation of inpatient and outpatient treatment opportunities, detox, therapy, and aftercare. In addition to those treatment programs, luxury rehab may include high-end amenities, potentially smaller sizes, more personalized treatment, holistic programs, and privacy.

Does Health Insurance Cover Luxury Rehab?

Health insurance may cover luxury alcohol and drug rehab, but it depends on your insurance policy. As long as a facility is in network with your plan then at least some of your treatment will be covered. If you select a luxury rehab that is not in the network, you will be required to pay a larger portion of the cost, if not all of it.

Luxury Rehab Centers That Take Health Insurance

The term “luxury” can be ambiguous. What may be considered a luxury to some may not be viewed the same way by others. So, when you are looking for a rehab facility, make sure to understand your own needs so you can choose the right program for you.

One area that sets luxury rehab apart from other rehab programs is the amenities that may be offered. Potential amenities may include:

  • Outdoor activities, including swimming, tennis, hiking, horseback riding.
  • Exercise programs and facilities.
  • Gourmet meals.
  • Meditation classes.
  • Massage.
  • Acupuncture.
  • Spa treatments.
  • Private rooms.

What If I am Not Covered by Insurance?

While insurance companies are required to cover at least some of your SUD treatment, not all types of treatment are covered. So, while you may have a specific program you are interested in for treatment, it may not be covered under your personal insurance plan. If that is the case, you can either find another treatment program that your insurance plan covers, or you can pursue treatment outside of your insurance plan.

Contact one of our admissions navigators so that they can provide you with the answers to any questions you may have about the programs and amenities your insurance covers. Additionally, if you choose to pursue treatment beyond your insurance, you can read about alternative strategies for going to rehab.
