FAQs

Do You Accept Insurance?

We understand that coverage can be a significant barrier to treatment, which is why we work with most major insurance plans, including Medicaid. We also work with Medicare Opioid Treatment Programs. Once you’re enrolled in our program, our admission staff will contact your carrier in order to determine eligibility, coverage, and payment responsibilities (deductibles, co-pay, etc.). After we’ve gathered your information, our team will explain your benefits and any additional financing options that might be open to you.

Do You Accept Out-Of-Network Insurance?

If your plan includes Out-of-Network coverage, we can provide treatment and bill your insurance directly. However, Out-of-Network services may involve higher deductibles, coinsurance, or copays, and sometimes you may be responsible for the full balance. Patients without Out-of-Network coverage can choose self-pay.

Do You Accept Medicaid?

We proudly accept Medicaid for all our addiction treatment programs.

Is Your Institution Accredited?

We are registered with CARF, AATOD, NABH, and RCPA, indicating adherence to standardized best practices in addiction treatment.
