If someone is in need of treatment for alcohol and drug addiction and dependence and is lucky enough to be covered under health insurance, most drug and alcohol treatment programs in Lakewood accept health insurance and will cooperate with potential clients to determine what is and is not insured. The majority of private health insurance companies will cover outpatient and residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation, but the time in rehab which is covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance will typically cover the first month of drug rehabilitation, although there are clients whose coverage is more substantial and could also include a longer residence in a drug and alcohol treatment facility. It is recommended that individuals consult with their plan directly with the help of their rehab facility to figure out what is covered by your private health insurance.
