Because of the Affordable Healthcare Act, most American citizens now are covered by some form of private health insurance. In fact, a recent report states that only about 13% of American citizens don't have health insurance. As a result, it may be now feasible for individuals who didn't have health insurance before now, and were therefore not able to go to treatment for an alcohol or drug issue, to [[ |be able to]]] get quality treatment.
If someone in ARP requires treatment for a drug or alcohol addiction, many private health insurance policies have special contracts with providers that motivates them to offer specific types of recovery treatment at certain prices. In many cases, programs are more than willing to help and answer your questions and do what is needed to get you or a loved one into treatment right away.
Most private health insurance plans cover a full array of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services, including outpatient and inpatient detoxification, partial hospitalization, inpatient and residential rehab and out-patient rehab. Most however may cover only1 kind of recovery treatment with certain restrictions, such as the duration that people can remain in recovery treatment. A good rule is that all policies are now obligated to provide the same level of services for mental health concerns, such as substance abuse problems, as they do for physical health problems. So if your plan lacks coverage in general, it will not have enough coverage in the area of treatment for substance abuse.
