If an addict must receive treatment for drug addiction and is one of the fortunate clients to have health insurance, many drug treatment facilities in San Antonio accept health insurance and will liaise with clients to find out which rehab services are covered. The majority of private health insurance companies will cover outpatient and inpatient drug treatment, but the time in rehab which is covered can vary. Private health insurance most often covers the first 4 weeks of alcohol and drug rehab, although there are people whose coverage is more substantial and could also cover a more long-term residence in a drug rehab center. It is recommended that individuals consult with their insurance company as soon as possible in liaison with the rehab program to find out what is and what is not included by their private health insurance.
