Rehabs in California That Accept Anthem (Elevance) Insurance

Is using Anthem (Elevance) for rehab in California possible? It is—the Affordable Care Act requires all long-term health insurance plans to cover 10 essential health benefits, and mental health and substance use treatment are included in those 10.¹ As a result, you can have some or all of the cost of addiction treatment in California covered by Anthem.

It’s important to understand how to use Anthem coverage for addiction treatment. The first step is to make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will ask questions about your substance use, home environment, and more in order to create a care plan that fits your needs.

Next, you’ll need to find treatment centers that can provide the care your doctor recommends. One of the easiest ways to do that is to contact our admissions navigators, who are available 24/7 to answer your questions and help you find a California rehab that takes Anthem.

Then, you’ll start and complete your treatment plan, which will help you create new habits and build a life free of substance use. In the end, you’ll have a life you love. All you have to do to get started is contact our admissions navigators today at .

Substance use treatment varies depending on the person—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. However, your Anthem health insurance can help pay for some or all of the cost of a variety of evidence-based treatment options, depending on your doctor’s recommendations.

Some of the most common types of treatment include:²

• Detox: Detox is the process of allowing the substance(s) to leave your body and often requires medical supervision to keep you safe and manage withdrawal. After detox, you begin treatment.
• Inpatient Treatment: During inpatient care, you live at a facility full-time and participate in a variety of treatment types. Treatment may include group therapy, family therapy, counseling, education, and more.
• Outpatient Treatment: Outpatient care allows you to live outside the facility and attend treatment a few times a week. Many times outpatient care will follow graduation from an inpatient program.
• Aftercare: Aftercare ensures that you have the support you need as you transition into your daily life after treatment. This might include additional education or resources as needed.

Everyone’s treatment plan is different, so be sure to work closely with your doctor to determine what’s best for your needs.

Anthem does cover co-occurring disorders in California, depending on your needs and specific health insurance plan. The Affordable Care Act includes both mental health and substance use treatment in the list of 10 essential health benefits, so your insurance will cover at least some of the cost of this important care.¹

If you struggle with substance use and a mental health diagnosis, this is known as a co-occurring disorder. It’s important to get treatment that addresses both your mental health and substance use in order to give yourself the best chance at long-term recovery.³ When you contact our admissions navigators, we can help you find a treatment center that offers the care you need.

If you’re looking for addiction treatment in California covered by Anthem, consider the Laguna Treatment Center. This facility is near the famous Laguna Beach and offers a variety of treatment options, including a program for co-occurring disorders.

You’ll have access to a fitness center, mindfulness space, outdoor recreation, and more. It is your home away from home on the road to recovery.
