Drug and Alcohol Addiction Rehab Facilities Are Covered (It’s the Law!)

New clients often express confusion about whether their insurance provider will cover substance abuse treatment. That bewilderment is justified, as until the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010, insurance providers often excluded mental health care, including coverage for substance abuse treatment.

After the Affordable Care Act became law, every participating insurance company was required to consider mental health benefits equal to other essential health benefits. The ACA made insurance companies provide equal access to mental and behavioral health treatment. They could also not continue denying insurance benefits to people with pre-existing conditions, as many big-name insurance providers did then.

Besides covering alcohol and drug addiction treatment, Ambetter coverage helps you get the mental health care needed for yourself or your dependent. This can include coverage for:

• Bipolar depression
• Major depressive disorder
• Anxiety and Panic disorders
• PTSD or trauma
• Personality disorders
• Eating disorders
• Dual diagnosis (co-occurring disorders)
• Schizoaffective disorders
• and other conditions such as CPTSD or Complex Trauma

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports, “Research shows treatment for mental illness works. With appropriate treatment, people can manage their illness, overcome challenges, and lead productive lives.”

Whether you have Ambetter insurance coverage or any other health insurance plan from the Health Insurance Marketplace, your drug and alcohol addiction treatment and mental health care are covered. Remember that substance abuse treatment programs are, “essential health benefits,” for all plans sold in the Marketplace.

Ambetter Addiction Treatment Coverage for Rehab Facilities

The need for effective drug and alcohol rehab has never been greater than it is today. The number of people seeking addiction treatment programs is ever-increasing, with no end in sight. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) warns how substance use disorder, once a diagnosis primarily impacting young adults, is now affecting adults in the next age group, ages 26 to 40, at record numbers.

Insurance companies can no longer legally look away from those who need rehab treatment. But what do they cover?

Most, including Ambetter Insurance, determine the level of care on a case-by-case basis. They consider multiple factors that can include:

• The severity of addiction
• The person’s physical health challenges
• Their mental health concerns
• Risk of relapse
• Risks associated with continued usage of illicit drugs
• Past attempts at rehab centers
• The possible need for emergency services (are they considering self harm?)

Most insurance companies’ criteria come from the American Society of Addiction Medicine, which advocates for a holistic, highly individualized approach to addiction treatment.

Once they review your case, Ambetter Health Insurance may approve some of the following treatment options:

Rehabs That Take Ambetter Insurance for Inpatient Programs

Inpatient or residential rehab is the most intensive, comprehensive rehab center offering at Icarus Nevada. Residential treatment means clients receive care around the clock, staying full-time at the treatment center. For those who need the most complex addiction treatment or have co-occurring mental health disorders, inpatient treatment provides the highest level of support.

While in inpatient treatment, clients may receive evidence-based therapies as part of their substance abuse services. Ambetter Insurance usually approves residential treatment for those who need the highest level of addiction care.

The Icarus Inpatient Rehab Facility Helped Marie Recover

Marie came to Icarus with a severe cocaine addiction. She had a demanding job as a costume designer at a leading entertainment venue on the Vegas Strip. The job was fast-paced and high-pressure. She discovered that using cocaine helped her get more things done faster than ever. It also didn’t hurt that it helped her stay thin; appearance was everything in her job.

Over time, she became hooked on the cocaine and could no longer function without it. It became too expensive, so she switched to meth, which only made things worse. Marie had been at her job for numerous years and had access to leave benefits.

Getting Proven Support Programs Using Ambetter Coverage

She came clean with her manager and started to seek addiction rehabs that would be in-network with her Ambetter Insurance. She arrived at Icarus broken and frail, as the years of cocaine abuse had ravaged her now far-too-thin body.

With the treatment options provided, she began to understand that not only was he addicted to cocaine, but she also had an eating disorder. The therapists at Icarus’s Nevada rehab facility helped her learn to give up cocaine plus helped change her distorted self-image.

After a month of inpatient therapy, Marie stepped down to an IOP to help control her out-of-pocket costs. She continued to flourish and graduated from her program. She’s back to work now. In her spare time, she advocates for young girls with eating disorders; her goal is to help them avoid pediatric services and grow up to be healthy and confident.

Partial Hospitalization Programs and Intensive Outpatient Programs

Outpatient programs offer more flexibility than inpatient rehab. Still, the care is highly individualized and high in quality. Outpatients receive counseling and therapy during the day and go home at night.

The two types are the partial hospitalization program and intensive outpatient treatment. PHP means you go to treatment for about six hours daily, five days per week, treating the treatment center like a full-time job. But IOP programs require attendance a few days a week for shorter sessions – it’s reserved for those who need the least complicated addiction treatment or cannot make the other levels of care work due to family or career obligations.

Our Outpatient Treatment Options Were the Best Fit for Wil

Wil was a single, hardworking dad who worked in home construction in Las Vegas. After his divorce, he felt empty, looking forward only to every other weekend when he got to see his kids. To fill the void after his marriage ended, Wil started to drink. At first, “the boys” would take him out for a few after work. But it quickly became nightly drinking, often at home and alone.

Wil knew that if his ex-wife learned of his drinking problem, he’d never see the little ones again. He looked for rehab centers with in-network coverage for his Ambetter Insurance. He found Icarus near his apartment. He needed to minimize his out-of-pocket costs and discovered that our IOP program was covered by insurance, which allowed him to continue working while also attending counseling.

The Icarus Nevada team helped him cope with the breakup of his marriage and less frequent time with his children. He no longer drinks and focuses on the positive – the time he does get with the children and has found new ways to fill his time without alcohol.

Wil is also in a better position to ask for joint custody of the kids, a longstanding goal he is excited to see made a reality!

What Treatment Methods Do Ambetter Plans Cover?

Before you begin treatment, you might wonder what type of drug and alcohol rehab and therapies you might expect. Your insurance provider allows for proven, effective treatment programs that can help end your struggles with substance abuse.

Here are a few treatment methods you might see when you choose Icarus for treatment:

Individual and Group Therapy to Heal Drug and Alcohol Addiction

Clients in our drug and alcohol rehab program will work with highly qualified therapists and counselors to look inward and discover the causes of their addictions. In some cases, it may mean working on healing past trauma. In other cases, it could mean working on an underlying mental health diagnosis.

Your work in our rehab facility lays the foundation for a clean and sober life.

Family Therapy Can Start to Rebuild Relationships

Alcohol or drug abuse impacts more than just the client. It often weakens or breaks family bonds. Working with a specially trained therapist to resolve those issues so your family can triumph over addiction together is a key part of rehab treatment.

Behavioral Therapy to Change Patterns That Lead to Substance Abuse

When you attend treatment, you will work on your substance use disorder by learning to change your behaviors. Your therapists will help you shift from negative behaviors (drugs or alcohol use) to more positive ways of coping with stress. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Medication-Assisted Treatment (Opioids or Alcohol Addiction Treatment)

Some clients, especially those who come for opioid or alcohol rehab, will receive medication-assisted treatment. These prescription medications become placeholders, replacing the abused drug as the body and mind stabilize at the rehab center.

For instance, the doctor may choose to give methadone, a long-acting synthetic opioid, to a client at drug rehab for help with a fentanyl addiction. Methadone is a lower dose drug than street opioids, so the brain will not “panic” as it would with an abrupt withdrawal. As the client continues to attend treatment, the rehab facility staff will start to taper down the methadone until the client becomes substance-free.

Can Clients Request a Specific Rehab Center?

Yes! You have the right to request the treatment provider of your choice. Your Ambetter Insurance plan is in-network with Icarus Behavioral Health. Our team of medical professionals means that we exceed all the necessary requirements to meet their high standards.
