Carelon Behavioral Health is a health insurance company specializing in covering mental health and addiction treatment. You may know them as Beacon Health, which was their former name.
When the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act passed in 2008, many health insurance companies didn’t have enough mental health and addiction coverage to comply with the law.
The solution for many was to subcontract for their mental health and addiction services. Carelon is one of the main companies that provide this service to other health insurance carriers around the country. They also contract directly with some employers.

Soberman’s Estate was everything I needed for my recovery. The staff, the program, physical activity and culinary experience were top notch and essential. The program is well designed and worked better than I expected. The staff is remarkable - professional, considerate and genuinely caring. My time there and being removed from alcohol for five weeks was everything I needed to remove my craving for alcohol. Soberman has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. I feel confident, secure and grateful for my new life. I have reconnected with my family and friends. Thank you Soberman.

St Christopher was a wonderful experience for me to get sober, learn about Alcoholics Anonymous, and learn about the disease and about myself. The staff from the front office down were fantastic, before, during, and after treatment. I would recommend this place to anyone

I have been a professional interventionist since 2010. I was introduced to this program in 2012. I have been referring there since then. My clients have always had a positive experience and the clinical and support staff are the most responsive and knowledgeable. They want what’s best for the client and the family and have long term options. They do very well young adult males and most recently I referred a 69 year old man first time treatment. It was a family member and he’s doing very well and committed to 90 days of treatment. I can’t thank the clinical staff and administrators enough for the program they have created. Please contact me if you would like to know more. Thank you STC!!!

BEST PLACE EVER. I have tried various other doctors/clinics and none of them even begin to compare to this one. The staff here is absolutely amazing. I can’t even make a single complaint. Dr Son is the best as well. He explains everything and you truly feel like he understands you. I can proudly say this, this place saved my life. If you or someone you know needs help getting off opiates do it right the first time and come here. You won’t be disappointed. If you are specifically struggling with fentanyl please don’t waste your time with other ways. I have tried 6 other methods from lazer therapy to having the earpiece to suboxone. Methadone is the key to our current fentanyl crisis. This clinic makes recovery possible again!

All In Solutions changed my life in ways I can’t fully put into words. I came in feeling lost, broken, and unsure if recovery was even possible for me. From day one, I was met with genuine compassion, patience, and people who truly cared about me as a person, not just my addiction.
This program helped me heal not only mentally and emotionally, but spiritually. I found a connection to something greater than myself, learned how to sit with hard feelings instead of running from them, and started to believe that my life had purpose again. They gave me the tools, support, and safe environment I needed to grow, rebuild my self-worth, and create a foundation for a healthy future.
Today, I am over a year sober — a miracle and a second chance at life that I don’t take for granted. That new beginning started here. I will always be grateful to All In Solutions for helping me find hope, strength, faith, and a new way to live.

When I got here I had no hope on my future and now that I've completed this program, my dreams are becoming reality. They have taught me so much about myself and life in general to the point that I have COMPLETE confidence that I will stay sober and be able to accomplish any goal I set forward. Thank you to all the staff at All in Solutions, you guys ROCK!!!

Asana Recovery’s couples program is one of the best we’ve experienced. The location is great and conveniently close to the Pacific Ocean, which adds to the calming atmosphere. The therapists were extremely helpful and provided excellent couples therapy. The environment was very comfortable, everyone was relaxed, and it truly felt like a peaceful, healing place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Life-Changing Experience at Asana Recovery
My journey with Asana Recovery has been nothing short of transformational. Walking through their doors, I wasn’t just another patient entering a treatment center—I was a person in need of compassion, structure, and genuine guidance. From the very beginning, the team at Asana made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way that very few treatment centers truly deliver.
After just two months in recovery, I was given the incredible opportunity to become a house manager, which was a breathtaking experience. Not only did it deepen my recovery, but it allowed me to support others walking the same path. That chance to step into responsibility and service was life-changing, and it’s something I will always carry with me.
What sets Asana apart is the people. Jonathan and Linda, in particular, are shining examples of what makes this place extraordinary. Jonathan’s ability to connect with individuals on a deeply human level created a sense of trust that allowed me to open up and truly engage in the process. His wisdom, steadiness, and encouragement gave me tools that I will carry for the rest of my life. Linda’s presence is like a beacon—warm, nurturing, and absolutely unshakable. Her kindness and dedication went far beyond a “job”; it was clear she cares about every single person who comes through Asana’s program as if they were family.
And it isn’t just them—the entire Asana team embodies that same commitment. Whether it was the counselors guiding me through difficult conversations, the medical staff ensuring I was safe and cared for, or the support staff who brought positivity into every interaction, each person played an important role in making recovery feel possible. They created an environment that blended professionalism with heart, where structure and accountability were balanced with compassion and encouragement.
I’ve been to other facilities and spoken with countless people who have gone through recovery in different settings, and I can say without hesitation that Asana stands in a class of its own. Their approach is holistic, their community is genuine, and their impact is lasting.
To anyone considering Asana Recovery—whether for yourself or a loved one—know this: you will not just find treatment here; you will find hope, healing, and a family that will walk alongside you every step of the way. I am deeply grateful to Jonathan, Linda, and the entire Asana Recovery team for helping me reclaim my life.

AIS Treatment Center truly changed my life. From day one, the staff were incredibly supportive, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my recovery. My Counselor Jason & other counselors and therapists took the time to really listen and gave me practical tools I still use today to stay accountable and grounded.
The environment felt safe, welcoming, and clean, which made a huge difference during a very vulnerable time. What stood out most was the sense of community — I never felt judged, only encouraged.
If you or a loved one are serious about recovery and looking for a place that actually cares, I can’t recommend AIS enough. I’m extremely grateful for everything they’ve done for me.

The most amazing recovery experience. This time was so different (in a good way), thanks to my counselor Jason who really helped me dig deep into what I needed to work on and how to become the best and truest version of myself. He cares about all the clients that walk through that door and wants everyone to see the potential that he sees in them. I love all of the staff at this place and love the calm, warm, and homey feels that the women’s house brings. I would highly recommend for others to start their sobriety journey at All in Solutions, there isn’t a better place to find a community and grow.

My name is Colin and I’m an alcoholic and needed to find recovery for a better state of lifestyle and health. Design for Change provided a structured environment and reliable access needed for recovery. The routine, resources, and accountability offered a stable foundation for developing healthier habits and clearer direction. Overall, my experience was consistent with what the program aims to provide. I was able to focus on my goals, maintain sobriety, and utilize the structure as a stepping stone for my continued personal growth. As of November 18, 2025 I have maintained my recovery and am over a year sober from alcohol. Design for Change saved my life.

This has been an incredible journey from start to finish. I came in broken and in need of help. This is more than just rehab, it's truly life changing with great structure, compassionate staff, laughter, and healing. I'm forever grateful to the owner, the lead counselor, and the rest of the staff for helping me find myself and helping me find a life free of pain, depression, and uncontrollable addiction and alcoholism.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Carelon Behavioral Health Cover Addiction Treatment?
Yes, in fact, it’s what they specialize in, but there’s a caveat. When they’re contracting with another health insurance company, many aspects of the coverage may still depend on that other company’s policies. That company can make decisions about what types of services they want in their network.
Many of their plans have residential drug rehab coverage. The characteristics of the network may depend on the plan they’re contracting with. If you’re considering a health plan that uses Carelon as a subcontractor, and you’re wondering what’s in network with that plan, you can look. They let you check their network coverage by the company through which you’re getting your main health plan.
Does Carelon Behavioral Health Cover Methadone and Suboxone Treatment?
Carelon is a strong advocate for medication treatment for opioid use disorder. Methadone and Suboxone are two medications that treat opioid use disorder, but there are others too like buprenorphine and naltrexone. Most of their plans have this option.
You can also get medication assisted treatment (MAT) to help you overcome alcohol misuse. MAT is generally paired with treatment and counseling to help you lay a solid foundation for long term recovery.
How to Verify Coverage With Carelon
If your insurance company uses Carelon for behavioral health services, the way to check what services they have in their network is to visit Carelon’s website. Then look for the tab labeled “Find a Provider” near the top of the page. From there, they’ll ask you to enter the first three letters of the company you’re checking. When you do that, a list of possibilities will appear. Pick the one that you’re looking for from the list.
This will give you the details you need to understand your insurance coverage and find in network providers. If you have any additional questions, you can always contact Carelon directly over the phone.
What Special Features Do Carelon Behavioral Health Plans Have?
Carelon offers a list of special programs you can participate in. Here are some of the ones that people who have addictions might be the most interested in knowing about.
The Child, Young Adult, and Family Health Program uses care managers to help connect you with the right resources from Carelon’s network. Their goal is to intervene early. They use data to help them figure out who’s at the highest risk and then reach out to you proactively.
Carelon also has a network of certified peer support specialists you can access when you have a Carelon plan. A peer support specialist can support you in your recovery because they understand what it means to recover.
Finally, in the Social Drivers of Health Program, Carelon uses community resource navigators to help connect you with local resources. These might include things like food, transportation and help filing for social security.
What Types of Inpatient Addiction Treatment Are Covered By Carelon?
Carelon may cover several varieties of addiction treatments where you stay overnight to get care. The most common is residential rehab which usually lasts a few weeks. The exact length of stay may vary as your progress is reviewed. Once you get to a point where you’re ready for the next step you’ll move on.
Carelon may also cover medical detox. Inpatient medical detox is another type of addiction treatment where you spend the night at the treatment center. It’s usually shorter than residential rehab lasting about three to ten days. It’s appropriate for people who need help getting through the detox process safely and as comfortably as possible.
Inpatient mental health treatment is another benefit you may get access to through Carelon. This treatment is for people whose psychiatric disorder needs acute treatment. It’s very common for addiction and mental health problems to happen together and some people may need to go to an inpatient psychiatric unit to get help for a mental health crisis. Once you are stabilized you will be able to move to a more long term treatment program.
What Types of Outpatient Addiction Treatment Are Covered By Carelon?
Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs are outpatient treatments that Carelon may cover if they’re appropriate for you. In these types of treatment, you spend a part of each day at the treatment center participating in therapy and support groups but you go home at the end of the day.
Standard outpatient treatment is also a benefit that most plans include when they contract with Carelon. This includes regular appointments with a counselor and with a provider who can do your medication management. You may also participate in group therapy sessions.
Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be In Network?
The answer to this question depends on your specific plan. There are many plans that won’t pay for services you get outside the network. For example an HMO generally does not cover care that is out of network. Also, your health insurance plan may only access part of Carelon’s network, so it’s important to verify your coverage before using a service.
There are some plans that allow you to go out of network for treatment. Usually, going out of network means you’ll have to pay a higher deductible and you may also have higher copayments as well. These costs can be much higher than staying in network would be so you would want to be aware of your plan limits before you make a decision to go out of network.
Does Carelon Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Carelon specializes in covering mental health treatment. The benefits and programs they can offer are comprehensive. They have case management services to help people coordinate mental health treatment from several different providers. They can also offer you help proactively if they see that you’re likely to need a certain service based on your health data.
Does Carelon Have Specialized Support for Military and Veterans?
Carelon works with the federal government to connect military members and their families to a wide range of mental health and substance use treatment services. They also connect plan members to services that are sensitive to the needs of people in the military that aren’t traditionally considered health services but nonetheless support the special needs of military service people and their families. These include support for deployment and reintegration, non-medical counseling and lifestyle coaching that’s specific to military families.
Can I Get Carelon Through My Employer?
There are many employer sponsored health plans that contract with Carelon for their behavioral health coverage. Since this usually happens behind the scenes you may have Carelon and not know it.
You might realize you have Carelon if your employer is offering one of their employee assistance programs (EAP). An EAP supports you in areas of your life that aren’t always health related but that may get in the way of your work.
For example the Carelon EAP can help you with finding childcare or care for elderly relatives. They can connect you with free legal advice and financial counseling too.
