Anyone facing addiction to drugs or alcohol needs to hit rock bottom before they get help. Every addict faces a different “rock bottom.” It could be an arrest, an ending of a relationship or just feeling they have lost control of their life. But they have to hit rock bottom before they can start to turn their life around and get on the road to recovery.
Many addicts will look into rehab options for drugs and alcohol. However, the majority of addicts don’t get the treatment they need. One reason is they are scared off by the price. They see figures such as $3,000, $10,000 and even $100,000 when they research the cost online. Those figures are sure to cause sticker shock to anyone.
Don’t fret. The cost of rehab doesn’t have to stop you from getting started on a journey to sobriety. There are a variety of options to help cover the cost, including using health insurance for rehab. Most plans will help offset the cost and make it easier to get help. That includes Blue Cross/Blue Shield and here is how you can find drug and alcohol rehabs covered by BC/BS.
If you have hit rock bottom, don’t feel you are alone. A recent federal survey found that nearly 22 million people needed substance abuse treatment. But, only 2.3 million people visited a treatment facility.
That means just the fact you are reading this is a big deal. Many people don’t go to rehab for drugs and alcohol. But you don’t have to be one of them. You can get the help you need and start your road to recovery today.
There are a few ways to find a rehab center for drugs and alcohol covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. One way is to contact the center directly. They will work with you to find out about your insurance plan and then see what is covered. They can provide information on the cost and what would be paid so you can make a decision on whether to enroll in the facility.
BC/BS also provides an extensive website with options about paying for rehab using insurance. Remember, every plan is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all when using insurance for drug and alcohol rehab.
The website provides information about substance abuse and treatment options for addicts and their families, regardless of health insurance. There are also links to find nationally accredited treatment facilities backed by BC/BS.
Finally, people can use the site to search and find a doctor provider in their area within their network. They can input their health insurance information and find a doctor inside their network that accepts BC/BS health insurance.
