The simple answer is yes—many insurance plans do cover addiction rehab. However, the extent of coverage varies depending on several factors, such as your specific insurance policy, the type of treatment you require, and whether the rehab facility is in-network with your provider. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has significantly improved access to addiction treatment by mandating that insurance providers include mental health and substance use disorder services as part of their essential health benefits. This ensures that most insurance plans offer some level of coverage for addiction treatment, which can range from inpatient rehab and detox to outpatient programs and counseling.
That being said, it’s important to recognize that not all plans cover the same services in the same way. Some may only partially cover certain types of treatments, while others may require higher out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, co-pays, or co-insurance. Additionally, insurance providers may have limitations on the duration of treatment they will cover, or they might require pre-authorization before approving specific services. Therefore, it’s crucial to verify the details of your coverage with your provider to fully understand what your plan will cover, including any restrictions on the length of treatment or additional costs you may be responsible for.
Furthermore, insurance plans typically categorize treatment facilities into in-network and out-of-network providers. Receiving treatment at an in-network facility generally results in lower out-of-pocket costs, while out-of-network treatment may require higher personal contributions or offer limited coverage. It’s always a good idea to verify whether a treatment facility, such as Tres Vistas Recovery, is in-network with your insurance provider to minimize any financial surprises.
When asking, “Does insurance cover rehab?” it’s important to understand that insurance can cover different levels of care. Some of the common types of addiction treatment that insurance may cover include:
While most insurance policies cover some form of addiction rehab, the specifics can vary widely. Several factors determine the extent of your coverage, including:
The type of health insurance plan you have significantly affects what is covered. For example:
Insurance companies, known as in-network providers, often have agreements with specific rehab facilities. Receiving treatment from an in-network facility usually results in lower out-of-pocket costs. If you choose an out-of-network provider, you may have to pay more, and some services may not be covered at all. Tres Vistas Recovery works with many major insurance providers, and we’re happy to verify whether we’re in-network with your plan.
Insurance plans may cover different levels of addiction treatment. Some may cover a longer stay in residential treatment, while others may prioritize outpatient care. The level of care you need—whether detox, inpatient rehab, or outpatient treatment—will impact the amount of coverage your insurance offers.
The length of time you spend in treatment can affect how much your insurance will cover. Some insurance plans limit the number of days covered for inpatient treatment or require ongoing approval for extended stays. A review of 48 studies found that while the average planned duration for alcohol use disorder (AUD) therapy was 18 weeks, participants typically attended only 9 sessions, which can impact treatment outcomes.
Even if your insurance covers rehab, you may still be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, or co-insurance. Understanding these costs beforehand can help you plan for the financial aspect of treatment. At Tres Vistas Recovery, we’re committed to helping you understand these costs and how they apply to your insurance plan.

Yes, most insurance plans cover treatment for both drug and alcohol addiction. However, the coverage depends on your specific plan and the level of treatment needed.
If your insurance plan offers limited or no coverage for addiction treatment, you may be eligible for alternative payment options. We can discuss financing options at Tres Vistas Recovery to ensure you receive the necessary care.
