How Insurance Covers Addiction Treatment
By law, all private health insurance plans must include some coverage for addiction treatment and alcohol dependence treatment. Federal rules require insurance companies to treat substance use disorders like any other medical condition. That means your plan likely helps pay for treatment and may cover several levels of care.
Common Services Insurance May Cover
- Outpatient treatment
- Intensive outpatient treatment
- Partial hospitalization programs
- Individual therapy and group therapy
- Medication support and ongoing recovery services
These services help you build stability and learn healthier ways to cope. They also support long term recovery.
