If someone must receive treatment for alcohol and drug addiction and is one of the fortunate clients to have health insurance, most alcohol and drug treatment programs in Atascadero accept health insurance and will cooperate with potential clients to find out which types of treatment are covered. Many private health insurance companies cover outpatient and inpatient drug rehabilitation, although the time which is considered covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance most often covers the first 4 weeks of drug and alcohol treatment, although there are clients whose plan is more substantial and may extend to a more long-term residence in a drug rehab center. It is asked that potential clients speak with their insurance company directly with the help of their rehabilitation program to find out which services may be included by their private health insurance.
