Ambetter is a health insurance company that started offering ACA compliant insurance plans in 2014. They’re owned by Centene Corporation. Their geographical span is nearly nationwide with plans available in 29 states and they serve more than four million members.
The company primarily offers individual and family plans on the Insurance Marketplace of each state they operate in. They can also help employers set up an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) to provide employees with health coverage.
Beyond regular health insurance plans Ambetter also offers dental and vision insurance in most states.
Does Ambetter Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?
All of Ambetter’s health insurance plans are offered on the Insurance Marketplace so they all cover the 10 essential health benefits required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). That list of essential benefits includes mental health and addiction treatment.
However, every plan is different in terms of how much coverage you have and what requirements you need to meet. For example you might need to get a referral or preauthorization before insurance coverage is approved.
The provider networks and level of coverage vary state by state but they make it easy for you to check their coverage for yourself even before you sign up. If you are considering an Ambetter plan you can get the details of the plan from the state Marketplace before you enroll. If you’re already a member you can review your insurance by visiting their website and logging into your account.

I came to Avenues in Clarksville, Indiana, coming off a cocaine bender — and the love and support I received from the staff truly helped me begin rebuilding my life.
Jessica and Shelby, the intake coordinators, were exceptional. They supported me every single step of the way with genuine care and compassion.
Chantel is my favorite BHT — I love her! She has such a kind heart and always shows up with consistency and grace. She’s a valuable asset to the recovery center.
Starr is a powerhouse. She busts her tail every shift she works and gives 100% to her job and the clients. She’s one of the hardest workers in the building, and it shows.
Joe is exceptional as well — supportive, dependable, and real.
Sunshine, my case manager (for the second time!), is amazing. She supports you through everything but still holds you accountable, and that balance is exactly what recovery requires.
Jordan and Samantha bring life and light into the facility. Jordan brings the peace and presence of the Lord that so many of us in recovery need — I personally value every conversation I’ve had with her.
Stefany is wonderful too — she knows how to lighten the mood and make people smile, even on the tough days.
Jenna works hard every single day making sure clients get to group and stay on track — her dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.
Gonza is the most valuable asset in group facilitation. He taught me to truly understand the problem and how to face it. He’s cool as a fan and knows how to connect with people.
Crystal and the entire nursing staff, including Danielle, are exceptional. They keep everything running smoothly and make you feel cared for — their energy keeps everyone grounded.
If I could give one suggestion, it would be to review the leadership on second shift — there are other staff members who show real diligence and could make a strong impact in that role.
Overall, I’m deeply grateful to Avenues Recovery for bringing me closer to my family, my higher power, and my sobriety. This place — and these people — have truly changed my life. Starr will always stand out in my mind as one of the best.

I don’t even know where to begin. This treatment center is truly changing lives. My husband attended their program during one of the hardest times our family has ever faced, and I can confidently say they gave us hope and confidence in his recovery.
From day one, the staff treated him with compassion and dignity. They weren’t just professionals—they were caring, patient, and truly passionate about helping people rebuild their lives. The counselors went above and beyond, not just helping him work through addiction, but helping him rediscover who he is without it.
What meant the most to me as a spouse was how they kept family involved and supported throughout the process. I felt heard and understood. This wasn’t just treatment—it was transformation.

Discovery Point is an amazing place. I’ve only been here for a week, but it already feels like home. A pool, nice gym, great staff, and amazing chefs. Drew (chef) on top of her great cooking, is so positive and always smiling, and Star makes the best desserts - we even get desserts at breakfast when she’s here!! At the support staff and nurses are so kind and patient.
So if you need a place to heal and recover from your addiction issues - this is the place:)
First off, the all staff were nice and friendly.
Food was fantastic 5 star chef, nurse's on site 247 techs also. It's on the water, you can fish. Get massages or acupuncture. They really make you feel like home. Aa na meetings daily. I have nothing negative to say about summer house detox, the best in south Florida hands down

My experience at Summer House was incredible! The staff were so kind and attentive — they really made me feel cared for from the moment I arrived. The beds… oh my gosh, like sleeping on clouds! And the food? Wow. It honestly felt like eating at a restaurant every day, from breakfast to dinner.
The nurses truly care about your health, and the therapists put so much heart into helping you heal mentally and emotionally. I’ve never felt so safe or supported in any detox before.
I would recommend Summer House to anyone who needs help. Thank you, Summer House — you truly saved my life and helped me start fresh on my journey to recovery.
Celebrities in recovery lol love this place so much. They helped me a lot with getting going in the right direction and what to pursue out of life. I was able to surrender my past and move on from my old ways through their programming.

Scottsdale Recovery has changed my life. If you or someone you know needs detox and/or treatment. This is the place. The staff is strategically handpicked by professionals; peers who have been through addiction and have come out the other end. The resources and services they provide are phenomenal, I would highly recommend SRC a million times over.
From day 1 to graduation, they guided me through, to a complete life changing transformation.

I just hit 3 years sober. This was the detox center that helped me. Just overall an amazing place with incredible staff. If I could give 10/ 5 stars I would. Absolutely PERFECT place to detox at.
These people have helped me recover from the worst point in my life to become a much better happier person today. I owe my life and my family to this place. Especially Leia, Cynthia, and Mary. But I want to thank everyone else for being a part of this process.

Tree House Recovery has proven to be a lifesaver for my son. My son had been using heroin for about 10 years, and his life was looking bleak. My family and I decided to step in and look for a rehab he couldn't Uber home from. We live in the east, and Tree House is in California. We liked the fact that it was a 5 month program, too.
Matt was our first person of contact. He made us feel like we were no longer alone. He was always there to guide us. My son was in a detox here which wasn't going as planned, and Matt wanted to get him to a detox in CA that he trusted. To get my son from the east coast to the west coast was challenging. He missed his first flight because he needed to buy heroin, not wanting to be in pain. We were able to get him on another flight that day, and Matt had someone waiting for him at the airport. It was a harrowing day, but Matt took care of all of the logistics and planning.
My son is now on the road to recovery. He actually likes the program, and after a few months, he is doing well. I worry less about him now that he is in the care of Tree House Recovery.

I’m sharing my experience about someone close to me who completed Tree House Recovery’s five-month program in Costa Mesa through the partial hospitalization track.
From the start, Adam and Matt showed up with care, heart, and a steady light. My experience with the team was a blessing. The way they came together to support my friend—even at the very beginning—held nothing short of compassion and love. It was truly something special.
Tree House is a brotherhood. It goes deep and focuses on giving a real experience - not a curated, perfect, or cookie-cutter one. It gives the people who go through it the strength to stand up and get through real life when they leave. It highlights your strength, gives you the structure to build it into who you are, and keeps reminding you of it. They provide tools, support, and, beyond that, an environment where learning happens, beliefs are tested and strengthened, and new identities are allowed take root.
It's physiology and psychology, forged together.
And if you’re asking the question, “Does it last?”; In my experience, it grows. It takes the reins and leads. Even as someone standing on the sidelines, I haven’t just learned from this journey—I’ve been inspired by the person who walked it. This program isn’t a finish line; it’s a whole new game, a wider foundation—something that keeps inviting you to become more of who you are. And it is literally a life-saver.
I’m grateful for Tree House Recovery—and especially for Adam and Matt—for showing up and lighting the way. If you’re ready to believe that change is worth it, take the first step. They’ll have your back for the rest.

Treehouse Recovery and the staff members are all really great people that care about your sobriety as much as they care about their own and take the role of guiding you into the right direction very seriously. Being apart of this program as changed my life for the better and I found not only a sense of happiness I have never felt before but I also found a sense of purpose and a strong brotherhood within this community of guys I went through this experience with. My outlook on life has completely changed for the better and I open my eyes in the morning thanking God I have another day to be the best person I could be. I am able to face challenges head on and be able to tackle them down without the thought of escaping reality and picking up that bottle. This experience I went through with the people I could now call lifelong friends with has been one of the best chapters of my journey I've been through so far. The good, the bad, the ugly; it was all worth wild. Thank you Justin, Vechi, Matt and everyone involved that saved my life! This book isn’t over yet. Let’s see where this new version of myself takes me.
Great program incredible staff. Offers great lessons in patience, introspection, and learning to take things a day at a time. Shout out Paul and Gary K for being amazing facilitators. If you’re experiencing any major medical issues that need a doctor visit, take care of that first before staying with CWC.

I went to treatment here twice, and what I will say is this place is a real gem but your experience is going to depend upon your mentality, take accountability people that’s the most important part. When it was my second time coming into treatment I was baker acted out of state. I called Jennifer the virtual manager in the late hours of the night annd she picked up and I told her I was going to end my life. I was tired. She stayed on the phone with me until police came and calmed me down. I remember sitting there with my eyes closed just listening to her voice telling me to breathe and she’s going to help me. She’s an angel in human form she’s one of the sweetest most caring humans I’ve ever come across. Next up is Paul Paul will open his arms to you and make you feel welcomed like there’s never no judgement with the guy he’s very supportive and my god is he smart. The man is great. He’s written a few books the past year and every word deserves to be seen by everyone. Tarah I love you thank you for always being supportive and a shoulder to cry on you are such an inspiration. Ron you’ve got the best attitude better than anyone I ever met your always so happy. Malika is sweet and has the best smile she’s so funny and always makes others smile and laugh. Gary I don’t have enough words for you your very valuable in my recovery journey don’t ever forget that. Most important jason thanks for even having this place, thank you for hiring the best staff there is, thank youuu for the dream and vision and being the type of owner that’s on site and talk to clients like we are normal people you mean more than you know to everyone you bring into your center. Cwc is the best I hope everyone takes care and im happy to have had such a great program and great people. You made me want to live again.

Simply an awesome caring facility. The staff gives 100 percent and then some! They display a true genuine concern for those in their care. Communication is exceptional! My son has been in many facilities over the years and Provive Welles is the best place that he has been in and made the most progress. Everyone that I’ve communicated with was phenomenal.
However, the majority of my communications were with Megan, Emily and David. I must give them special recognition for my sincerest appreciation.
Thank you Provive Wellness for caring for my son above and beyond my expectations.

I’ve been with Provive for about a month or so now. I was having urges to drink myself into a blackout state. Been this way for about a week….I mentioned it in front of the house manager and nothing happened. Today was the worst of my urges. Megan had reached out to check on me and she was able to help me through without relapsing…. Thank you, Megan for all your help!!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Plans Does Ambetter Carry?
You can get a plan from them that’s either an HMO or an EPO or a PPO. There are a few rare instances where you can get a POS plan. Here’s how each plan works.
If you have an Ambetter Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan you’ll need to name a primary care provider (PCP). This will be the main doctor you see and they will coordinate your care by providing referrals to specialists. An HMO also requires you to use in network providers unless you’re in a life threatening emergency.
In most cases an addictions counselor and psychiatrist count as specialists who you need referrals for and you may also need preauthorization before you start treatment. That’s why it’s important to work with your PCP to create a treatment plan before you choose a rehab.
In an exclusive provider organization (EPO), you’ll only be able to get services from providers that are part of your plan’s network. Any care you get from outside of their network won’t be covered. However you won’t need to coordinate care through a PCP or get referrals to see specialists. You might still need preauthorization for certain services though so be sure to double check before you start treatment.
Ambetter has Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans in some states. These types of plans are usually more expensive in terms of monthly premium because they give you more freedom to choose who you want to see. They still have a network that they encourage you to use but if you want to see someone outside the network they will usually cover at least part of the cost. If you go out of network you’ll have a higher out of pocket costs and deductible than if you use an in network provider.
A Point of Service (POS) is the plan type that Ambetter offers the least frequently and it’s not available in most states. If you happen to be considering one the important thing to know is that your primary care provider acts as your care coordinator.
For any specialty care you’re thinking of getting you will have to see your primary care and get a referral. This will likely include your counselor and psychiatrist. The way this plan differs from an HMO is that you do have the freedom to get care from outside the plan’s provider network. You will likely have a higher deductible and higher copayments and coinsurance if you do.
What Perks Are Available With Ambetter Plans?
With Ambetter Perks you get deals on products and services that support your health and well being. You can get discounts on gym memberships and meal services as well as travel, entertainment and restaurant services. My Health Pays® also rewards you for keeping up with good health practices like getting a yearly physical exam and eating well.
Other perks like DispatchHealth and health management programs along with the 24/7 nurse advice line and Walgreens SmartSavings make healthcare and prescriptions more affordable and accessible with your membership.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Ambetter Cover?
Ambetter offers coverage for medically necessary care. That’s why before you choose a rehab facility you should devise a treatment plan with your doctor. This way you can get the referrals and documentation you may need to get coverage for inpatient addiction treatment.
Before you receive treatment getting the ASAM Criteria Level of Care Assessment from your doctor will help determine your specific needs and whether or not they recommend inpatient care. You may also need to meet certain criteria for residential care like a diagnosis of chemical dependency and medical stability after detox.
Medical detox gives you supervision from medical professionals who can provide care to help you manage your withdrawal symptoms. That sometimes includes medication assisted treatment (MAT) as well as other types of care.
When you enter residential care be prepared to continue with your program for 30 to 90 days depending on your treatment plan and care needs. During this time you’ll receive structured care including group and individual therapies and do various therapeutic activities. Having access to medical detox and inpatient treatment can offer additional support that increases the likelihood of long term recovery.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Ambetter Cover?
Ambetter covers various forms of outpatient treatment depending on your plan and what is medically necessary for your treatment. It may cover partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) as well as general outpatient treatment.
PHPs and IOPs both offer more structured treatment than general outpatient treatment. With a PHP you typically get at least 20 hours of intensive treatment each week including group and individual and even family therapy as well as holistic treatments. An IOP usually involves 9 to 15 hours of weekly therapy spread over several days and it has more flexibility than a PHP.
General outpatient treatment lets you go about your daily life and work your treatment around it. You may do treatment sessions in the evenings or on weekends, and the intensity of that treatment varies based on your needs. It can also be included as part of aftercare from a residential, PHP, or IOP program. Aftercare can act as continued support through recovery meetings and peer support along with counseling.
Does Ambetter Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Ambetter may cover MAT if it is a necessary part of your substance use treatment plan. You may need MAT as part of medical detox or for continued treatment for opioid and alcohol use though the extent to which you receive it depends on individual factors.
Much of the time you’ll receive methadone or suboxone to help reduce withdrawal symptoms as you detox or to help you stay medically stable over a longer period of time so you can pursue treatment with a lower risk of relapse.
Both medications are synthetic long acting opioids that block the euphoric effects of opioids like heroin or oxycodone. Suboxone combines buprenorphine and naloxone and is sometimes used as a less addictive option than methadone. However with professional supervision both are safe treatments for addiction.
Does Ambetter Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Ambetter only offers ACA compliant insurance so your plan does cover other mental healthcare. It covers care options like psychotherapy and psychiatry through group and family therapy. You may also be able to get inpatient treatment and crisis support for many mental health disorders. That can include anxiety and depression as well as bipolar disorder and OCD and many more.
Because substance use disorders often co occur with other mental health disorders it’s important to treat them too. By understanding and treating these co-occurring disorders simultaneously you can increase your success with long-term recovery by giving you more tools and support so you have the right care for all your needs.
