Does AmeriHealth Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Most AmeriHealth plans will cover at least some addiction treatment in accordance with the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA). However, the amount each plan carries and the requirements to ensure coverage applies will vary from plan to plan. That means it’s important to check the details of your insurance before you commit to rehab.
Also all insurance plans will focus on covering medically necessary care. Working with your doctor to get a treatment plan based on your needs will help you get coverage for the addiction treatment that’s appropriate for your situation.

I would just like to state how happy I was with my stay and experience at White Sands treatment center in Fort Myers. The facility is very nice and the staff are all friendly, professional and caring. From my caseworker Janette, who was super supportive and just amazing, to my Therapist Morgan, counselor Kaley, all the techs, health & nursing, house services, dining staff and maintenance, everyone was incredibly helpful and kind. Special thanks to Janette ( my homegirl) Morgan ( my faves group) , Kaley ( my confidant) Lee ( gloves up ), Julian ( Shaq Diesel) , Genny ( Shennnny ) Steph ( Haloooo Governor), Amy ( Smiley) Fritz ( my dude, my brother) You were all awesome and I wish you the very best in life and what it has to offer. Thank you for being there for me and making my stay incredibly positive and inspiring. I hope to be back to speak after six months and look forward to seeing you all. Take care, Legend out 🫶🏼🤜🏽🤛🏽💪🏽🙃

Changing lives on a daily basis. So grateful for the staff at White Sands, you all are truly AMAZING! "Not all heroes wear capes"... Thank you for what you do.
In 2020, I went to the Aloha house in West Palm, after treatment. I was a chronic relapser and out of hope. The structure and support at the house set my feet on a path of victory and recovery. I'm almost 5 years sober today, reunited with my husband and 3 children, and helping others out of addiction. I'm not sure where I would be if I had not found Aloha. There was just enough structure and freedom to allow me to safely start rebuilding my life. I highly recommend. There is HOPE.

My experience at Beachway was not perfect, as nothing truly is. However, I would not change a single thing. I learned so much and was embraced and understood for what feels like the first time in my life. Words can not express how thankful I am for the staff, the therapist, and the facility as a whole. I want to specifically thank Tripp, my primary therapist, and Brandon, my trauma therapist. Without these two gentleman I would not be living the life I am today. As I write this I have almost 7 months sober, moving into my own place, have a great job, and so many connections within the recovery community. I go to sleep often without worry, I breathe more calmly, and I am at peace almost daily. I love my life today, and that is in part thanks to Beachway! They will forever have a place in my heart. Thank you Beachway.
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.

A Transformative Path to Recovery: Runway and Treehouse Recovery
My journey to sustained sobriety began at Runway, a premier short-term stabilization facility in Santa Ana, California. Designed for individuals in crisis, Runway offers 24-hour monitoring in comfortable, well-appointed accommodations, including private bedrooms, an on-site cook, and a dedicated nursing staff. A compassionate team of five to six professionals provides individualized care, preparing patients for a seamless transition to long-term treatment. Runway’s structured yet nurturing environment makes it an exceptional choice for immediate, high-quality intervention.
After stabilization, I transitioned to Treehouse Recovery to address a complex history of alcohol addiction, combat-related injuries, and a rare psychotic episode triggered by marijuana use. The Treehouse staff’s expertise in treating combat veterans navigating reintegration and substance abuse was remarkable. Their swift, targeted response to my unique challenges laid a critical foundation for my recovery.
Treehouse’s program distinguishes itself through a robust team-based approach, which fosters accountability, camaraderie, and personal growth. Patients are organized into small, cohesive units that collaborate on daily tasks, from meal preparation and facility maintenance to group sports and weightlifting. This model mirrors the discipline and interdependence of military teams, which was particularly resonant for me as a veteran. For example, morning team raft exercises in the surf required synchronized paddling, teaching us to trust one another and communicate effectively under pressure. These activities were more than physical; they instilled a sense of shared purpose and mutual reliance, reinforcing the skills needed for long-term sobriety. By working closely with peers, I rebuilt self-esteem, learned to embrace responsibility, and developed a support network that extended beyond the program. This team dynamic was a cornerstone of my recovery, providing a safe space to confront vulnerabilities and celebrate collective achievements.
Beyond its team-based framework, Treehouse emphasizes the physiological and biological aspects of addiction, moving beyond traditional talk therapy. Physical training restored my strength and confidence, while the program’s focus on leadership in its latter half prepared me for a successful return to everyday life.
Over a year later, I remain sober, with strengthened family ties and renewed self-confidence. The ongoing support from Runway and Treehouse, through regular check-ins, reflects their commitment to clients’ long-term success. Their tailored, family-like approach creates a global network of support that empowers individuals to thrive post-treatment.
I wholeheartedly recommend Runway and Treehouse Recovery to anyone seeking a path to lasting recovery. These facilities not only saved my life but also provided the tools and community to build a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Sincerely,
Charlie

I showed up to Treehouse ready to change but i didn't know how to make these changes. Anything i tried alone always seemed to fail until i was accepted into the treehouse family. They showed me how to handle simple to complex tasks with a rational clear thinking mind. They gave me the tools and confidence to stay in a state of gratitude day in and day out. They solidified my hard working ethics and gave me a place to call home. We worked hard and we had a lot of fun. I particularly love the ocean (surfing, diving, skimboarding) so being on the boats with the team was my favorite part of the physical modalities. I owe it big time to the clinical staff for listening intently, caring and asking the right questions at the right time to help me work through a lifetime of baggage.

Treehouse has made a huge impact on my life. The values, connections and education have given me an entire different perspective on life. They have given me the tools and knowledge on how to live a life in sobriety. The staff are all super cool and very supporting of whatever you are going through and will do the best they can to help you get where you need to be. Thank you treehouse !
This place saved my life!!! I've never had so much support from anyone like I've had since I've been here ❤️. I hope to one day work at 1st step to give my appreciation and help others. I'm more than grateful for this opportunity. I currently live in sober living and I love it!

I completed 1st Step's IOP program here and I just felt like there is no way I couldn't leave a positive review about them. What makes 1st Step special is how abundantly clear that the Clinicians are doing what they Love, and not clocking in and clocking out at work. They understand recovery, have their own recovery journeys, and enjoy helping others. Every group i attended, I felt like I came out better or with more knowledge. Day by day. Being a Pompano Beach local my entire life, I will also advocate their sober living/php location is Prime time. If I was in php/sober living level of care, I would want to be at that location. No questions. Anyone who says otherwise, should probably practice gratitude. East side near the water in a chill part of town. (P.s - I was not in their sober living and php, but I know where it is, and I see many of the members around the neighborhood) My hats off to first step. And No this review is not botted or paid. I'm just a local who came here to get better after going off the wagon in college. :)

This place completely changed my life! I now live the best days ever. I'll always have a family at 1st step!
Some of The counselors there are EXCEPTIONAL. Rob, Mike, and Peter really made a HUGE impact on my recovery. They are true believers in their groups. Sharing their personal coping skills relating to their sobriety which was detrimental in finding my own. True inspirations on how to be sober and stay sober. Great groups and authenticity to their work. They shared from their heart. They kept each and everyone involved and inspired.
Some of the nursing staff were very attentive and helpful as well. Kim, Joe, sue, and Ben were ones that stood out to the most. Kim was caring and truly cared about each patients needs and feelings.
The RSS’s were great as well. Calee, joann, Leslay, and Niana were all great to deal with. Calee went above and beyond for everyone in my unit. She would put the patient first before anything else which was very thoughtful of her in a situation that is not easy for most.
I have been to RCA Danvers and I can say my experience at Westminster was much more therapeutic and beneficial to my recovery.
Sincerely,

I appreciate the excellent care that was provided to my family member by the caring staff. The staff made my family member feel comfortable along with activities and the groups that were led and provided by multiple workers . Excellent establishment and also the care coordination that they assisted with in regards to follow up care and post d/c transition was exceptional. This facility should be noted for anyone who has a family struggling or patient seeking assistance with help. I have so many staff members that were so supportive to my family member. Especially whom was Peter Gregory whom per her report did groups and was the Best. Thanks again for making a realistic difference.

The moment I walked in I felt welcome and never neglected. From the Program director, to the nurses and techs. Every person in this program will treat you like family. I also got everything I ever needed when I needed. I couldn’t have gone to a better place. I got all the support I needed and more everyday. I recommend this place to everyone looking for a place to change their life and future for the best. Thank you Laguna view detox and everyone apart of this wonderful organization.

Awesome place with awesome people! I truly felt like every staff member cared about me and my recovery journey every day. Justin the case manager always had an open door to talk when I needed. Karen the program director and David the operations director helping me get paperwork filled out as painlessly as possible. Jeramiah, Lisa, Winnie, Jessie, and Tony on the nursing staff always ready with a smile and positive attitude. JJ, Lane, and Isabel, the techs that put up with me daily with a smile on their face no matter what I did. I can't recommend Laguna View Detox enough. If you're ready to start your recovery journey I can't think of anywhere else better!
The alumni program at RCA Raritan Bay, is such an amazing program. Marguerite goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. The alumni group is the most supportive, and loving community. It truly feels like a family. There is just a special connection that is unlike anything I've ever seen. Truly grateful to be a part of it.

If you need help, they will give you the resources you need and bend over backwards to help you.
Being LGBTQ+, our community faces a number of hardships that can really make sobriety a challenge.
Recovery Centers of America understands this and many other special situations and accommodates accordingly.
They truly are great people.
Shout out to Jason for checking in on me and making sure I got to where I needed to go.
Thank you, sir!
Unfortunately, I have been to a lot of treatment centers. No one does it like Simple Path Recovery. The love, support, and care you receive there you won’t find at other facilities. I found stability, peace, and lifelong friends after struggling with opiates for almost 10 years. I was shown how to learn from my mistakes and appreciate them, but to stop holding on to them. The learning and care does not stop after clinical hours. The techs, staff, and other women in the program will teach you more than you ever could have known. You become a family! The tools and coping skills that I developed at Simple path saved my life. I truly believe this place and the people here are a Godsend!! If you are even just thinking about going to treatment I highly suggest reaching out to Simple Path, they WILL take care of you

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are AmeriHealth Plans?
AmeriHealth offers multiple plans through their family of companies. This includes individual and family plans along with Medicare options and Medicaid.
You can get individual and family plans through your employer or in the Insurance Marketplace in New Jersey or Delaware or Florida. There are also Marketplace options in North and South Carolina. If you get your insurance through the Marketplace your plan is likely to be a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plan. With an HMO you will have a doctor who serves as your primary care physician (PCP). Your PCP will give you referrals to specialists within the provider network and help with any needed prior authorizations. An EPO doesn’t require you to get a referral to see a specialist like an addiction counselor or therapist. Both HMOs and EPOs only cover in network providers unless there’s an emergency or need for urgent care.
AmeriHealth offers Medicare Advantage plans in New Jersey as well. Medicare Advantage is a full replacement plan for Original Medicare. It covers the same things as Original Medicare but often has additional benefits. The AmeriHealth Advantage plan includes routine dental and vision care along with hearing coverage and virtual medical care. AmeriHealth’s Advantage plan is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) which means you can see out of network providers although you’ll pay quite a bit more out of pocket. You can also see in network specialists without a referral.
AmeriHealth Caritas offers Medicaid plans and Dual Eligible Medicare Medicaid plans in a variety of states. Medicaid coverage is determined by the state but you will have access to a wide variety of care which includes addiction treatment. You will need to choose medical providers that accept your state’s Medicaid plan.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does AmeriHealth Cover?
Most AmeriHealth plans cover inpatient care as required by the Affordable Care Act. Since insurance focuses on medically necessary treatments getting a treatment plan from your doctor is essential.
For example, the ASAM assessment evaluates the patient’s needs and obstacles along with resources and support system. This information helps decide the right level of addiction care whether that’s inpatient treatment or some level of outpatient rehab.
Inpatient care usually begins with medical detox and is followed by a stay of about 3 to 4 weeks in a care center. This is typically the most intensive level of rehabilitation available.
What Outpatient Rehab Does AmeriHealth Cover?
Outpatient rehab care is a form of addiction treatment that allows patients to continue living at home while attending rehab for multiple hours a week at treatment facility.
These are the three main types of outpatient care:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
General Outpatient
PHP is the most intense type of outpatient care and is also known as day treatment because you’re in rehab all day although you go home in the evenings. IOP is next and requires around 9 hours of treatment each week divided across three days. You can often choose morning or evening sessions to better accommodate your work or school schedule.
General outpatient is the least intensive and meets once or twice a week. The biggest difference between all forms of outpatient and inpatient care is that you can continue living at home during outpatient rehab.
Does AmeriHealth Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is often an essential part of addiction recovery. Many AmeriHealth plans cover MAT under behavioral health services.
MAT is commonly used during detox to manage withdrawal symptoms which helps you stay safe and as comfortable as possible during the process. It can also be used as an ongoing treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders.
Methadone is a long acting full opioid agonist that works on the same receptors as opioids but doesn’t produce a high. Suboxone works similarly to methadone — acting on the same receptors — but it isn’t as strong.
MAT helps you manage cravings and avoid relapse during treatment while you’re learning new skills and mindsets. As you get stronger in recovery you can wean off the medication support and live a fully substance free life.
Does AmeriHealth Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Most plans provide some level of coverage for mental health treatment thanks to the ACA. However it’s always a good idea to check your specific plan to confirm what’s covered. Mental health treatment may include counseling and crisis support along with and care for co occurring disorders.
When someone is diagnosed with both addiction and another mental health issue it’s called a co occurring disorder. This is common in addiction treatment and should be addressed simultaneously to support successful long term recovery.
Can I Travel Out of State For Treatment With AmeriHealth?
It depends on your exact AmeriHealth plan and whether you can travel out of state. Many plans require that patients stay in a defined provider network unless they need emergency care.
Some plans include coverage for care outside the network but you’ll pay far more for copayments and deductibles. For example the Medicare PPO plan available in New Jersey offers out of network care but it’s much more expensive.
In general staying within your state and your provider network is better to maximize your insurance coverage and reduce costs.
How to Verify Coverage With AmeriHealth
If you need to verify your coverage with AmeriHealth you can either call their customer service number or log into your online member account. This will give you coverage information and help you find in network providers.
Another option is to ask the treatment center you’re considering if they accept your specific plan. Make sure you verify coverage using your exact plan name and not just “AmeriHealth” since they offer a range of plans with varying levels of coverage.
