Healthsmart Rehab and Alcohol Detox Coverage

HealthSmart Rehab and Alcohol Coverage

Alcohol is the leading substance abuse problem in the United States affecting as estimated 12 million Americans. Nearly 88,000 Americans die from alcohol annually, making it the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Since alcohol is widely accepted in social settings, discontinuing use can be difficult, especially without a supportive treatment program. If you or a loved one is struggling with alcohol dependency and abuse, a treatment program can provide the necessary support to take the first steps towards long-term sobriety. HealthSmart alcohol rehab coverage benefits can help make treatment more affordable and accessible.

What to Expect from HealthSmart Alcohol Rehab Coverage

Alcohol abuse and addiction is a complex disease affecting brain function and behavior. No single treatment is appropriate for everyone and it is important that treatment be customized to an individual’s specific recovery needs. In-patient alcohol treatment programs typically integrate a 12-step program like Alcoholics Anonymous with cognitive behavioral counseling, one-on-one therapy and/or group therapy. Holistic treatment programs may also offer alternative therapy options and mind-body treatments like meditation, yoga, outdoor challenge courses, equine therapy and exercise therapy. These programs help to build confidence and self-esteem and may be an important part of the treatment process for alcohol abuse and addiction, depending on an individual’s specific recovery needs. HealthSmart alcohol rehab coverage may include all or part of these treatments. Coverage can vary depending on your specific insurance policy, so it is important to speak with a benefits counselor to determine which treatments are covered by your policy.

Some individuals who struggle with alcohol abuse may also benefit from dual diagnosis treatment. This treatment may be included in HealthSmart alcohol rehab coverage. Dual diagnosis treatment is for individuals who have been diagnosed with a co-occurring mental health disorder like depression or anxiety that affects their alcohol abuse. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration recommends that individuals with co-occurring disorders receive treatment for both substance abuse and mental health conditions at the same time. This integrated approach to care delivers optimal outcomes and supports long-term sobriety.

HealthSmart alcohol rehab coverage benefits may differ based on your specific policy’s co-insurance, co-payments and deductibles. Medical pre-approval may also be required prior to treatment admission. A benefits counselor can answer your questions about your specific policy, payments and treatment options.
