If an individual requires treatment for drug addiction and dependence and is lucky enough to be covered through health insurance, many drug and alcohol treatment programs in Edwardsville accept health insurance and will work with individuals to determine what is and is not insured. The majority of private health insurance entities will cover outpatient and residential drug rehab, but the timeframe which is considered covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance most often covers the first 4 weeks of drug treatment, but there are people whose insurance is more extensive and could also include a more significant stay in a drug and alcohol rehab center. It is recommended that individuals seek advice of their insurance company directly and to ask for any help as needed from their treatment center to determine what is and what is not included by their private health insurance.
