Anthem insurance plans can cover all levels of addiction treatment in Alabama, but the exact amounts that your policy will cover will vary based on the factors listed above. The various levels of care that are part of an addiction treatment plan include:⁴

• Detox: This involves going through the process of removing the drug from your body under medical supervision to care for any withdrawal symptoms that may arise.
• Inpatient Treatment Program: This includes a 24/7 treatment regimen, with professional staff providing various evidence-based therapies within the facility.
• Outpatient Treatment Program: Outpatient programs are less intensive than inpatient programs and provide more flexibility. There are levels of outpatient that include intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization programs. Both of these programs allow individuals to live at home during treatment.
• Aftercare: An aftercare program involves staying in some type of treatment after the main program is over. This will assist with relapse prevention. You could join a support group or alumni program or continue to attend group therapy on an outpatient basis.

Anthem does offer coverage for co-occurring disorders in Alabama. The degree of Anthem coverage for addiction treatment will depend on various factors and policy specifics. If you have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder, you can seek co-occurring disorder treatment. About half of people who have substance use disorder also have a mental health disorder.² Getting treatment for both conditions simultaneously is highly recommended as this typically provides the best outcome.
