What Does Insurance Typically Cover?

Most insurance plans cover a significant portion of substance use disorder treatment, including medical detox, residential care, and outpatient programs. Coverage varies by plan, deductible, co-pay, and specific benefits.

Our insurance verification specialists review your plan in detail and explain exactly what is covered, what your out-of-pocket costs may be, and any pre-authorization requirements.

Self-Pay & Payment Plans

If you do not have insurance or prefer to pay out of pocket, our admissions team can provide a confidential cost estimate. We offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make treatment accessible.

The cost of not getting treatment is far greater than the investment in recovery. Contact our admissions office to discuss your options today.
