    Does Insurance Cover Substance Use and Mental Health Treatment?

    Yes—most insurance plans are legally required to cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment. Thanks to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and provisions under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), behavioral health services must be covered similarly to physical health conditions. That means services like detox, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and therapy are often covered, at least in part, by insurance.

    At Invicta Recovery Center, we accept most major insurance providers and can help verify your benefits within minutes.

    ✅ Accepted insurance may include:

    • PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans
    • Some HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans with authorization
    • Out-of-network coverage options
    • Employer-sponsored plans
    • Private insurance plans

    We also help clients understand their deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket maximums—so there are no surprises.

    Types of Services Typically Covered by Insurance

    While coverage can vary based on your plan and provider, here’s what insurance may cover for addiction and mental health treatment at Invicta Recovery:

    1. Detox is the first critical step in recovery for many people. Medical detox is often covered when deemed medically necessary, helping you safely manage withdrawal symptoms in a supervised environment.
    2. Residential level of care provides 24/7 support and structure. It’s especially helpful for individuals with severe addiction or co-occurring disorders. Insurance often covers this level if the treatment is pre-authorized.
    3. PHP offers intensive clinical care during the day with the flexibility to return home or to a sober living environment at night. Many plans cover PHP as an alternative to inpatient care.
    4. IOP provides a structured treatment experience while allowing clients to maintain responsibilities like work, school, or family. Insurance providers often cover IOP as an essential step-down from inpatient treatment.
    5. Outpatient, Individual therapy, group counseling, medication management, and psychiatric evaluations are typically covered and essential for long-term recovery and mental wellness.

    🧠 Dual Diagnosis Support: We specialize in treating co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, and many insurance plans provide integrated care coverage.

    What Is Insurance Authorization?

    Before starting treatment, your insurance provider may require authorization—also known as a pre-authorization or prior approval. This process ensures that the treatment is medically necessary and meets the criteria for coverage.

    At Invicta Recovery, we handle the insurance authorization process for you. As easy as 1, 2, 3: Our admissions team will:

    1. Contact your insurance company
    2. Submit necessary clinical documentation
    3. Work with your provider to get approval for treatment

    This step is crucial for inpatient and higher levels of care, and it’s something our team is highly experienced with.

      Out-of-Network vs. In-Network Insurance: What’s the Difference?

      Many clients ask us whether they need to be “in-network” for services to be covered. The answer depends on your plan. Out-of-Network benefits can sometimes work even better.

      In-Network: Lower out-of-pocket costs, but may have stricter requirements or limited provider options.
      Out-of-Network: Higher out-of-pocket costs, but more flexibility in choosing a facility like Invicta Recovery.

      We work with both in-network and out-of-network benefits and can help maximize your insurance coverage either way.

      💡 Pro tip: PPO plans usually offer out-of-network benefits, which means you can still receive partial reimbursement for treatment even if we’re not in-network.

      What If I Don’t Have Insurance?

      If you don’t currently have insurance, you still have options:

      • We offer private pay plans and can help set up flexible payment arrangements
      • You may qualify for financing options through third-party partners
      • We’ll help you explore other resources like state programs or benefits you may not know you’re eligible for

      Don’t let finances be the reason you or a loved one doesn’t get help.

      FAQs About Insurance and Treatment

      Will my insurance cover the full cost of rehab?

      That depends on your plan. While many cover a significant portion, you may be responsible for co-pays, deductibles, or coinsurance. We’ll break this down for you clearly before admission.

      What documents do I need to provide?
