If an individual is in need of treatment for drug addiction and is fortunate enough to have health insurance, many drug treatment facilities in Panhandle accept health insurance and will work with people to determine what is and is not insured. Most private health insurance entities will cover outpatient and residential drug and alcohol rehab, although the time in rehab which is considered covered can vary. Private health insurance will typically cover the first month of drug treatment, but there are individuals whose plan is more substantial and could also cover a more long-term time in an alcohol and drug rehab facility. It is asked that potential clients seek advice of their plan directly and to ask for any help as needed from their rehab center to find out what is approved by your private health insurance.
