Beacon often covers most levels of addiction treatment in Nevada, but the exact level of coverage varies based on your specific needs. Addiction treatment looks different for everyone, and what works for one person may not work for another.⁸ That’s why several levels of care are available to meet your specific needs. Your primary care provider or an addiction specialist can help you figure out what level of care best suits your situation. Here are some general types of addiction treatment your Beacon insurance may cover:⁸

• Detox. When people quit using drugs or alcohol, they might attend detox to safely rid their bodies of substances under the supervision of medical professionals.
• Inpatient rehab. Inpatient rehab offers a safe space to live while in recovery and receive 24/7 attentive care. You might participate in individual counseling, group therapy, and peer support groups to build coping skills and prevent relapse.
• Outpatient rehab. With outpatient rehab, you receive similar treatment as inpatient rehab while living at home. Outpatient programs vary in intensity and required frequency of attendance.
• Rehab aftercare. Mental health professionals recommend continuing care, like 12-Step programs, outpatient treatment, and sober living homes, to promote long-term recovery.

Mental health often plays a significant role in treating SUD.^{8 p.7 #9} Many types of therapy are often used in addiction treatment.^{8 p.6 #6} Some might focus on helping you build relapse-prevention skills for long-term sobriety, while others strengthen relationships with family and friends. Beacon Health insurance may cover the costs for the following:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Contingency management (CM)
• Rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT)
• Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)

Depending on the rehab you choose and your specific coverage, there may be additional costs not covered by your Beacon Health insurance plan. You may have a co-pay or a deductible as out-of-pocket costs even though your insurance plan covers addiction treatment.

If you don’t have insurance, there are other ways to pay for rehab. You can pay cash, for example, or use a credit card or a private loan. Many institutions also offer state-funded and free rehab options, too.

Embarking on the road to recovery is a huge step. Understanding your Beacon Health coverage can make finding care more straightforward. Contact AAC today to verify your insurance and start your recovery journey.
