Nevada Drug & Alcohol Rehabs that Accept Anthem (Elevance)

Nevada is known for its beautiful desert landscapes, extravagant casinos, and of course, Area 51. Even though this beautiful state has much to offer, substance use is an issue plaguing the state. With over 3 million residents in the state, it has the highest percentage of substance use in many categories when compared to the country’s average.¹

The percentage of Nevada residents between 2017-2019, who misuse alcohol, prescription drugs, used heroin, opioids, and marijuana, have alcohol use disorder or substance use disorder are higher than the regional and the national average percentage reported in each category.²

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield is an insurance company that offers a variety of plans to cover you and your family. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction or substance use disorder, look for a Nevada rehab that accepts Anthem.

Anthem may cover all or a portion of drug and alcohol rehab in Nevada. Your coverage will depend on the insurance plan you have as well as your treatment facility and program. Not everyone will need the same treatment plan, and therefore, the cost and coverage can vary.

Our admissions navigators make using your Anthem coverage for rehab in Nevada easy. Luckily, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) dictates that insurance providers must cover substance abuse and mental health treatments because they are essential services.³ Some required program coverage may include:³

• Psychotherapy and counseling.
• Inpatient services.
• Substance use disorder treatment.

The amount that insurance will cover may still depend on your specific insurance plan and treatment program.

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.

If you have Anthem insurance, you may be able to access a wide range of drug and alcohol rehab facilities across the country. Anthem often covers services like detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, and ongoing therapy, though exact benefits depend on your plan and location. Many treatment centers can verify your coverage and estimate any out-of-pocket costs before you begin care.
