Our goal is to help you access the treatment you need while minimizing the financial stress of rehab. Below, we’ll walk you through the basics of insurance verification, the types of coverage available, and how our team at Surf City Detox can support you every step of the way.

Types of Insurance Coverage for Addiction Treatment
Private Health Insurance
Many private health insurance plans, often offered by employers or purchased individually, cover addiction treatment services. Plans through providers like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare typically offer benefits for detox, residential rehab, outpatient services, and mental health care, including dual diagnosis treatment. However, the level of coverage and co-pays vary depending on the specific plan.
Medicaid and Medicare
Government-sponsored plans like Medicaid and Medicare provide varying degrees of coverage for addiction treatment. Medicaid is income-based and often covers essential services like detox and outpatient treatment. Medicare, available for individuals over 65 or those with certain disabilities, also offers coverage for addiction treatment, though it may have limitations based on treatment settings and approved providers. Surf City Detox can help determine if Medicaid or Medicare will cover certain aspects of our rehab services.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
Some employers offer Employee Assistance Programs, which provide short-term support for employees dealing with substance abuse. While EAPs may not cover the entire cost of rehab, they can sometimes help offset expenses or provide referrals to covered providers.Out-of-Network Coverage
If we are not part of an individual’s insurance network, we can explore options for out-of-network coverage. Many insurance policies still offer partial coverage for out-of-network providers, which may reduce the overall cost. Our admissions team will explain how out-of-network benefits work and help clients navigate any additional requirements or documentation needed to access these funds.What Does Insurance Cover for Rehab?
Medically supervised detox is often the first step in addiction treatment. Detox services are typically covered by insurance, as they are considered a medical necessity for those experiencing withdrawal symptoms. At Surf City Detox, our medical team provides safe, compassionate care to ease clients through detox.
Insurance often covers residential rehab, particularly when it’s necessary to provide a structured, drug-free environment for recovery. Residential treatment offers intensive support, and our programs at Surf City Detox address the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of addiction. Many plans cover a portion of residential rehab costs, although coverage levels vary.
Treating co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD, is an essential part of recovery for many individuals. Dual diagnosis treatment is frequently covered by insurance, as it is essential to treat both addiction and mental health concerns simultaneously to improve long-term recovery outcomes. Surf City Detox’s dual diagnosis program offers comprehensive support for these cases.
Behavioral therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), are highly effective in addiction treatment and are typically covered by insurance. These therapies form the backbone of our approach, helping clients develop skills to manage stress, identify triggers, and build healthier thought patterns.
