Texas Drug & Alcohol Rehabs that Accept Anthem

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and there’s truth to that—Texas has the second-largest population in the United States, with over 29 million people.¹ Unfortunately, many of those people struggle with substance use; the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) found that in 2017-2019, 11.8% of Texans 12 and older admitted to misusing marijuana, and 3.7% admitted to misusing prescription painkillers.²

Fortunately, you can break free from substance use. If you have Anthem insurance, a subsidiary of Blue Cross Blue Shield, you can look for a Texas rehab that takes Anthem.

Anthem does offer coverage of substance use treatment in Texas. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires all long-term insurance plans to offer coverage for 10 essential health benefits, which include substance use and mental health treatment.³

No single treatment plan works for everyone, which is why it’s important to work closely with your doctor to find the right process for you.

Some of the most common levels of addiction treatment include:⁴

• Detox. During detox, you’ll be medically supervised as the substances you’ve been using work their way out of your system. Doctors will help manage your withdrawal symptoms, and after detox, you may choose to continue your treatment.
• Inpatient rehab. Inpatient rehab is a center where you live full-time for several months, or up to a year, depending on your needs. You learn new habits and start to build a substance-free life.
• Outpatient rehab. During outpatient rehab, you live at home and attend treatment a few times a week. This step may follow graduation from an inpatient center.
• Aftercare. Once you’ve finished treatment, it’s important to have ongoing support as you integrate your new habits into your daily life. Aftercare gives you the resources you need.

The level of treatment that’s right for you will depend on your individual needs, which is why it’s important to be honest with your doctor and get the right treatment program.
