BCBS of Rhode Island can cover many different types of drug and alcohol rehab treatment as a whole. However, the exact amounts of coverage for treatment will depend mainly on the type of plan you have, the care you’re receiving, and whether the provider or facility is within your plan’s network.

Common types of addiction treatment that may be covered under your BCBS plan include:

• Detox. In medical detox, you’ll go through the process of ridding your body of any substances you may have been using (e.g., drugs or alcohol). You’re generally supported by medical staff, as it is often done in a medically supervised setting to manage the potential for acute withdrawal symptoms.^6,
• Inpatient care. For those who need round-the-clock attention and care, you may be referred to an inpatient care rehab or treatment program. Here, you’ll reside at the facility for the duration of your treatment.⁷
• Outpatient care. If you’re referred to outpatient care, you will generally go to your appointment or meeting at a facility, but then you’ll return home after as no overnight stay is associated with outpatient care. ⁷
• Aftercare. In many cases, you may want to consider or be referred to an aftercare program, which could involve you living in a sober-living home, attending group meetings, or continuing a 12-step program, to help you stay the course after rehab. ⁸
