Anthem Drug Rehab

Anthem insurance covers a variety of addiction treatment options for individuals in need. 

When a client is diagnosed with a substance use disorder, it can be described as mild, moderate, or severe and encompasses many different mental health aspects. This is important because this diagnosis indicates what type of addiction treatment is best for the individual. 

Individuals with severe substance use disorders most often require inpatient rehabilitation. Anthem insurance covers inpatient rehabilitation at pre-approved in-network locations that offer live-in accommodations for clients that require around-the-clock care. Other clients that may need inpatient care that is covered by Anthem insurance are those who have not met with success in less intensive addiction treatment and those with other mental health concerns or dual diagnoses. 

The next level of diagnosis for substance use disorders is a moderate level. This type of client struggles with multiple factors, but those factors can be managed while still living at home and attending treatment numerous times a week. Individuals in Intensive Outpatient or Partial Hospitalization Programs spend approximately 20-30 hours a week in therapy with counselors, in group therapy, and completing other therapeutic treatments like yoga and art therapy. 

Outpatient treatment is the least restrictive type of addiction treatment for individuals with mild substance use disorders. Individuals access addiction treatment approximately 3-5 hours per week based on the needs of the individual. This level of treatment is ideal as a continuation of care for those who have completed more intensive treatment and those who are working on making changes while maintaining their day-to-day lives. 

These various types of addiction treatment can often be found in sizeable campus-like treatment centers and are usually affiliated with other facilities that provide either more or less intensive care.
