Paying for Rehab
A major barrier that stands in the way of people seeking addiction treatment is the cost of rehab. When you go to rehab, beating your addiction should be your top priority, so it’s important to make sure your insurance provider is covering your treatment so you don’t have to.
Verifying your insurance and paying for rehab can be frustrating, but at 1st Step Behavioral Health, our team works with your insurance for you to make sure your treatment is covered so you can focus on what is most important–your recovery.
Addiction Treatment Here is Covered by Insurance
Our Pompano Beach, FL drug and alcohol rehab accepts most major insurance plans, including:
- Aetna
- AmeriHealth
- Blue Cross

Whether you suffer only from addiction or co-occurring disorders, using your insurance to pay for rehab that is offered in a comprehensive, focused program can make the care you deserve more accessible to you.
Regardless of who your insurance is with, all insurance companies are mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to offer coverage for addiction and mental health treatment. The ACA and other legislation have been established to help individuals who need to overcome the disease of addiction be able to afford the treatment they need. If you don’t already have insurance, you should consider applying for insurance before attending treatment so you don’t have to pay out-of-pocket. Low-cost and subsidized insurance is available through the Marketplace.

What Types of Addiction Treatment are Covered by Insurance?
In the past, insurance companies were reluctant to provide coverage for mental health and substance abuse. But today, insurance companies are mandated to provide equal coverage for substance abuse and mental health as they are to provide for physical health care. Insurance companies today understand that by treating addiction and mental health issues, their policyholders can reach optimal wellness and avoid illness in the future. As a result, insurance companies cover a variety of addiction treatment programs.
While the details of your policy may vary, most insurers provide coverage for:
Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient rehab programs require clients to reside at the treatment facility for the duration of their care. Providing safety, a secure environment, and peace of mind around the clock, inpatient drug and alcohol rehab also provides individualized care according to patient needs. Most clients who attend inpatient rehab will follow a step-down progression to lower levels of care as their needs change.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
Clients often attend PHP after finishing inpatient rehab. PHPs provide structure and guidance in combination with semi-independent living and peer support groups.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
IOP treatment integrates structured programs for overcoming addiction with therapeutic counseling and independent living. People enter IOP after completing inpatient rehab or PHP. The step-down care received in IOP is comprehensive like inpatient treatment, yet allows more freedom in community-based living.
Outpatient Rehab (OP)
Outpatient programs often follow the completion of PHP or IOP. Outpatient treatment provides clients with integration into the community and independent decision-making while continuing to receive treatment guidance and support. Clients can work or go to school while continuing treatment.
