The journey to recovery from addiction often begins with a crucial question: Will insurance cover the cost of treatment? At Texas Recovery Centers, we understand that navigating insurance coverage for addiction treatment can feel overwhelming. Here’s what you need to know about insurance coverage for our programs and how we help make treatment accessible.
Federal Laws Protect Your Right to Treatment
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) requires insurance providers to offer coverage for mental health and substance use disorders that is comparable to coverage for medical and surgical care. This landmark legislation means that if your insurance plan covers behavioral health treatment, it cannot impose stricter limitations on addiction treatment than it does on other medical conditions.
Additionally, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) designates substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit. This means that all ACA-compliant health insurance plans must provide some level of coverage for addiction treatment services.
Understanding Your Insurance Coverage
Coverage for addiction treatment varies based on your specific insurance plan. Most plans cover a range of services, including:
- Medical detoxification
- Residential treatment programs
- Partial hospitalization programs (PHP)
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Individual therapy and counseling
- Medication-assisted treatment
However, the extent of coverage, including deductibles, copayments, and length of treatment covered, depends on your specific policy.

What to Expect Regarding Coverage
Most insurance plans provide coverage for addiction treatment, but the specifics vary. You may be responsible for:
- Meeting your annual deductible
- Paying copayments or coinsurance
- Obtaining pre-authorization for certain services
- Following specific treatment protocols required by your insurance
We help you understand these requirements upfront and work to minimize unexpected expenses.
In-Network vs. Out-of-Network Coverage
Texas Recovery Centers works with many major insurance providers. If we’re in-network with your insurance company, your out-of-pocket costs will typically be lower. However, many insurance plans also provide out-of-network benefits, and we can help you understand these coverage options.
