If an addict must receive help for alcohol and drug addiction and is lucky enough to be covered under health insurance, most drug rehab centers in Elm City, North Carolina will accept any type of health insurance and will work with potential clients to determine which types of treatment are approved. The majority of private health insurance companies will cover outpatient and residential drug rehabilitation, although the time which is considered covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance will more than likely cover the first month of drug and alcohol rehab, but there are clients whose coverage is more substantial and may extend to a longer residence in a drug treatment program. It is best to consult with their insurance company directly in liaison with the treatment program to determine what is and what is not covered by their private health insurance.
