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!

I had an amazing and eye opening experience at All In Solutions. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to find myself as a result of their program. The staff is filled with truly amazing people. Chris, Pastor Dan and Nicole are amongst the best facilitators I have ever run across and the fact that they all work under the same roof is nothing short of astonishing. If I could give the organization more than five stars I certainly would!
Thank you for everything! 🙏🙏🙏

To say All In Solutions of Cherry Hill, N.J. saved my life would be a GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT. As would be any attempt to express my gratitude to their staff with mere words. After 33 straight years of drug & alcohol abuse, I would have never imagined myself making it through even the 1st few days of a recovery program, much less become a man who swears by the life changing process that comes only by properly working a 12 step program. In fact, I'd have laughed at you if you tried to tell me that it could cure my life long ailment. God Bless the entire staff at A.I.S. for patiently taking taking their time to make sure that I actually not only got it right, but got it right this 1st time. It takes more than what is ethically & professionally required of you to have such a profound effect on someone like me. Much, much more. But each & every staff member regularly went well above & beyond their call of duty where my recovery is concerned. Thank you, ALL OF YOU & God Bless you. Please keep doing what you do.

OH WOW! Amazing care I loved every group. The therapy sessions were the best we didn’t talk about much but there was tons of sexual tension! I highly recommend using the swimming pool during your stay. Although if you do use the pool beware that if you don’t cover up the pool a deer could drown in it. We found 3 dead deer during my stay!!

This place was amazing and that is an understatement! From the therapist , the staff , the nurses, group therapy , H & I and most importantly , that family you meet you here that you have & never knew that you would meet. I connected with people here on a whole other level that I haven’t done in my 36 years on this planet. I highly recommend, if you need help and you’re on the wrong path, do not hesitate. Pick up the phone and call All In Solutions. You will not regret it, I promise you!

I am truly going to miss my life and my experience here. I had the best councilor, Mrs Hepzi, just her presence alone will make your day. My mom even adored her :) it’s people like her who show us that we can actually get to the place in life that WE want to be at! She showed me that I’m ready for this new exciting chapter in my sober life!

All in Solutions has shown up for me as a
Client on a level I have never in my life experienced. I have been to many facilities in search of healing from a 30 year drug, alcohol and toxic life style.. I am almost 43 years old. I am a strong willed human being and I had quit quitting because evidence in my life proved that I would never be able to break free from addiction. While in the care of All In Solutions, staff demonstrated to me love, boundaries and interest in my well being. I have been a hand full with very challenging emotional brokenness and it has been very difficult to walk thru the healing process.. never once did staff treat me as if I was a burden or beyond help. They had patience and experience and love and over and over and over repeatedly demonstrated dedication to my recovery every step of the way. My counselor was Jason. I literally thank God that I came to All in solutions. Jason is a one of a kind, emotionally, spiritually wise minded, dedicated human being / he is professional and dedicated to his clients.. for reals - he spoke truth to me and handled all my details with concern and care and met me where I was at and patiently worked thru my process with me.. Debbie, the director helped me thru many emotional struggles, Tony, admissions - absolutely amazing human being.. zero, alumni - wonderful human being filled with love and dedication.. these people are like warriors and they care about every soul that comes thru the doors. Every single staff member spent time with me to understand my intricate brokenness and played a giant role in the healing I have experienced thus far. I still have a long road of recovery ahead of me.. I now believe that recovery is possible. I know can visualize my best self living a happy joyous and free life with a support system.. honestly - words can not express the gratitude I have for each staff member.. so many of them.. the house moms at the women’s house.. I am like crying as I prepare to depart because these people became my family and that is how this rehabilitation service is.. if you or a loved one is beyond hope and beyond help -
All in Solutions - I endorse them with my entire being and will forever thank them for all they did for me.

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.

I stumbled (literally) into BOCA Recovery center on February 5th with little hope. I was set to spend 21 days away from all the comforts of Home My family and dog.
My first week of detox was more comfortable than I expected. Assisted with medications that helped me through The Tough days ahead. After I came out of the fog I dove head first into my recovery.
I went to every group meeting. I went to every AA meeting available I participated 100% And was determined to take advantage of every tool I would need to be successful. I learned Skills from so many People that have been there done that
And could relate to what I was feeling honestly feeling.
I didn’t realize I had so many traumas until we started talking about it. I have an addictive personality And the roots run deep through my family tree. With all the professional help I was able to navigate through those tough Traumas.
I realized I was drinking to bury those feelings and forget. They run a tight Shift With an Excellent routine.
They fed us very well.
They really focused on mind-body and soul. I will be forever grateful for the help
That I receive the true caring I received.
The understanding I received. And just knowing I was not alone. I met some very cool people who were in the same boat as I
Just rowing with different paddles.
I surrounded myself with positive people who were serious about their rehabilitation.
Today I am 26 days sober. I have never felt better mentally physically and spiritually.
There is no better high from a drink or a drug that I’m experiencing on a sober life.
For the first time in four years, I am present
And excited for the future. Thank you to everyone at Boca recovery you guys are amazing people I would recommend BOCA
TO ANYONE WHO IS STRUGGLING!!
Thank you for giving me a second chance at life! And I wanna thank me for taking that first step and making that phone call!
Peace and Love, Barbara

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.
