If someone is in need of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction and dependence and is fortunate enough to be covered through health insurance, most drug rehabilitation programs in Golden, Colorado accept health insurance and will cooperate with people to find out what is and is not covered. Many private health insurance companies will cover outpatient and residential drug treatment, although the time which is included can fluctuate. Private health insurance most often covers the first 30 days of drug rehabilitation, although there are people whose coverage is more extensive and may cover a more long-term time in a drug and alcohol treatment center. It is recommended that individuals speak with their insurance company directly in liaison with the rehabilitation center to establish what is and what is not covered by their private health insurance.
