If an individual requires treatment for drug addiction and dependence and is one of the fortunate clients to be covered under health insurance, the vast majority alcohol and drug rehab programs in Columbia accept payment in the form of health insurance and will liaise with people to see what is and is not approved. Many private health insurance companies will cover outpatient and inpatient drug and alcohol treatment, although the time which is considered covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance will typically cover the first 30 days of drug treatment, but there are persons whose coverage is more extensive and could also include a more long-term residence in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program. It is asked that potential clients seek advice of their plan as soon as possible with the help of their rehabilitation facility to figure out what is included by their private health insurance.
