In 2015, Assurant, Inc. began winding down its health insurance operations.
Unfortunately, many care seekers only contact their insurance carrier to get a list of service providers, but this winds up excluding many other options, especially in the substance abuse and mental health categories.
How Health Insurance Works with Addiction Treatment Centers
For those seeking treatment services for drug addiction or alcoholism, insurance providers generally cover 30, 60 or 90 consecutive days of care. This helps offset some or all of a person’s entire rehab treatment expenses.
The types of drug and alcohol abuse related rehab treatment services that usually get covered are:
- Detoxification
- Residential treatment
- Intensive outpatient or regular outpatient care
- Counseling
- Psychotherapy and other holistic programs
