Anthem can cover all levels of addiction treatment, but the exact amount of coverage will depend on your specific insurance plan and treatment plan. Levels of care that may be covered by Anthem in Nevada usually include:⁴

• Medical detox: When a patient stops the use of a substance, medical supervision can ensure a safer withdrawal stage which can often include dangerous side effects. Medical staff can monitor these effects.
• Inpatient care: Patients stay onsite and receive around-the-clock supervision and care. This option helps the patient focus exclusively on their recovery by being removed from their normal environment, which may have promoted substance use.
• Outpatient care: This allows patients to keep their job and be home to take care of other responsibilities while receiving treatment at the facility for so many hours each week.
• Aftercare: Aftercare is a follow-up to treatment that offers programs that help you remain sober after recovery.

Not everyone will need all levels of care. Your coverage will vary based on your specific treatment needs. A treatment physician will help you figure out which levels of care are right for your treatment needs.
