Q:
Do they accept insurance as payment? If you have medical insurance, you need to inquire if they accept insurance.

A:
Insurance companies are becoming less and less willing to pay for substance abuse treatment. If your fortunate enough that your's still does, take advantage of it and find a treatment center that accepts it. Check with your insurance company first and go from there, they should be able to give you a list of approved providers. Beware though, these days, many insurance companies only pay for 3-5 days of detox and then outpatient care. Three days is almost always not long enough in detox for any substance and five days isn't enough for a lot of substances.

Some treatment centers will tell you that you must pay in advance and then they will provide you with documentation so you can get reimbursed by your insurance company. This reimbursement rarely takes place, but it's not he treatment centers fault, again it's the insurance industry.
