If someone requires help for drug addiction and dependence and is fortunate enough to be covered under health insurance, most drug treatment centers in Kaktovik, Alaska accept payment in the form of health insurance and will cooperate with individuals to see which types of treatment are approved. The majority of private health insurance companies cover outpatient and residential drug treatment, although the time which is considered covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance will more than likely cover the first month of drug and alcohol treatment, but there are clients whose coverage is more substantial and could also extend to a more long-term residence in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. It is asked that potential clients consult with their insurance company as soon as possible in liaison with the rehab facility to determine which services may be approved by their private health insurance.
