Getting treatment for addiction may be what you’re ready to do now. You’re just not sure how to pay for it. It’s not uncommon for many to believe that treatment is out of the question. It may seem too expensive. Yet, it’s a life-changing treatment that could save your life.
If you have health insurance, chances are good that your policy covers some form of addiction treatment. It’s not uncommon for policyholders to have no idea about this coverage. Let the team at Iron Bridge Recovery Center help you find out what your insurance will cover and how you can make the most out of that benefit.
The Importance of Getting Treatment
It seems like alcohol or drug additional treatment is optional. Some people think they can just deal with it or quit on their own if they are tough enough. That’s not the case. Think of addiction in the same way you would any other disease.
Would you “handle” cancer without a doctor? Would you skip medication that could help you with diabetes? Perhaps, but you may also know that a serious physical illness requires medical support. The same is true with a brain disorder like addiction.
Treatment is highly effective. There is a 40% relapse rate, as noted by the National Institutes of Health. However, most of the diseases you could face today – like high blood pressure and diabetes – have a similar, if not higher, relapse rate.
Understanding the value and importance of addiction treatment is a big part of starting on the path towards healing. If you’re unsure you need treatment, even if you have signs of addiction and dependency, reach out to Iron Bridge now to learn what makes us different.
Does Health Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?
While every health insurance policy is a bit different, most plans cover addiction treatment. If you have private insurance companies that provide coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), they are required to provide substance abuse treatment to policyholders. However, the type of coverage you have and the amount of protection you have could differ.
When you contact Iron Bridge, we can look at your plan details and offer insight into what type of care is available to you. Our admissions team will review this information with you at no cost to you and with no obligation to continue with us. This verification process tells us the following:
- What level of treatment is provided, such as detox services, residential care, and outpatient treatment
- What length of care is available, such as how many weeks of inpatient care
- Coverage for mental health disorders and substance use disorders, called co-occurring disorders
- Coverage for medications and specific forms of treatment and therapy
- Stipulations or requirements you must meet to obtain coverage
We can review all of these details with you. This gives you the best clarity of what your coverage offers. It also allows our team to build a treatment plan around your coverage that gives you the most access to success and recovery.
If you want a stress-free approach to understanding your health insurance, fill out our insurance verification form now. We can provide you with secure, private access to the information you need. You can always call our team at (844) 257-4419 to speak to an admissions counselor for hands-on help. We are available 24/7 to help you.
