Elevance Health Insurance Coverage for Addiction Treatment
Discover how Elevance Health (formerly Anthem, Inc.) covers addiction treatment through various plans. Learn about benefits, in-network options, and holistic support.
Elevance Health was named Anthem, Inc. until 2022. They offer a variety of health plans, including Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans, in 14 states. They also have Wellpoint Medicare and Medicaid plans and additional affiliates. I am impressed with how Elevance works with its local communities to improve access to care and health equality.
One thing that’s really exciting is that Elevance supports holistic treatment options, which means that those types of treatment are more likely to get coverage from your plan. In 2020, the company announced that they had more than doubled the number of members receiving whole person therapies for opioid use disorder.
Also, Elevance plans provide access to the Bright Heart Health telehealth MAT program to make it easier to pair counseling with medication use. Getting both is essential if you want to lay the foundation for long term recovery.

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.

My experience with All In Solutions has been a transforming experience from the moment they picked me up from detox. I walked in the door of their facility, broken, physically, mentally and spiritually. I was met at the front door by the intake coordinator. This lady completed my intake in a very welcoming, calming relatable and professional way.
Throughout the intake, she kept checking on me by offering me something to drink, eat and reassured me that I was safe and that there was Hope. I was immediately met with the medications, director, nurse, practitioner, nurse practitioner assistant and my amazing case manager. The housing director explained to me what my housing was going to look like. I was always given guidance and explained what was going on at all times.All of these people have been their for me every step of the way! I love the whole program at All In Solutions. The groups were facilitated by very professional, innovated, creative individuals that were not only relatable. Every employee at All In Solutions have been very kind, professional caring, giving people. Most of the employees are in recovery themselves, and even if they were not in recovery, they were still relatable, caring, giving people. I was only gonna stay for two weeks. Then extended to four weeks.Then I extended for six weeks at All In Solutions. I went from no Hope to seeing my life in a whole new perspective. All In Solutions gave me purpose hope perspective! They all gave me my life back in a whole new energized way! I can see clearly now that the rain is gone! I would definitely recommend All In Solutions to anyone! This is the best treatment facility I have ever seen in this country. Thank you so very much, All In Solutions!! You all saved my life!!

The staff truly cares about their patients and provided care that met my needs. The whole program exceeded my expectations and I can't thank everyone enough for the impact they made on my life and mental health. Deciding to seek treatment was not an easy thing for me but I am so glad I chose Footprints to Recovery. It wasn't all just sitting around doing therapy all day and we got the chance to do yoga, art and music therapy, and also go outdoors with Adventure Recovery. If you are considering treatment I highly encourage you to invest in yourself and give Footprints a call!

Footprints was an absolutely stellar facility to go to after completing inpatient addiction treatment. The staff were all very patient and understanding during my biggest ups and downs during treatment, and I never felt any judgement even at my lowest points.
Recovery is such a serious rock to carry but the groups and providers helped me collect the tools necessary to be able to tackle this journey on my own.
The nursing team was incredibly helpful in finding me medications that are actually helping my mental health and addiction cravings. I've had more success in the three months I got to share with Footprints than the years I've worked with my primary care and therapist.
Andrew with case management is hilarious and hugely helpful with resources and managing work and life alongside treatment.
Anika is an incredible therapist and I am sad to leave her care, but know she will continue to do amazing things for other clients.
If you are struggling with any substance abuse, I highly recommend seeking help with Footprints. They will absolutely get you back on your feet.

Tree House Recovery PDX saved my life. I hit a new rock bottom during the holidays. I was reluctant to going to a typical, 30-day, institutional rehab center like I did over the summer because that didn't work. But then I saw that Tree House was a three month program with a focus in physical exercise, writing, and learning to work as a team. My expectations weren't met -- they were exceeded. I recently graduated on April 3rd and am a better man now than I was before I started using and drinking. I've learned how to be empathetic, hold myself and others accountable, find gratitude in my daily life, lean on my teammates during times of struggle, and how to celebrate little and big wins in my life with healthy pride.
The staff is amazing too. Rob, Nevin, Doug, Bryan and Kevin are all great men who are now role models in my life. They challenged me, listened to me, and gave me advice and suggestions I have taken to help me soar.
If you're struggling, you don't have to do it alone. I would highly recommend this program for any man who is having trouble with addiction and needs to turn his life around.
Thank you, Tree House.

My decision to attend treatment was one of the most important decisions of my life and I could not have made a better choice than Treehouse Recovery. This was my first time in treatment and I was terrified while researching places to go. From the very first phone call, the staff at Treehouse made me feel heard, supported, and helped to ease my mind that help was available and change was possible. I could tell from the initial conversations on the phone that was a place that truly cared for each and every client. That same empathetic and welcoming attitude was expressed and carried on at every other step of the process. Embarking on the treatment journey was a time in my life marked by fear and uncertainty but with Treehouse, I knew I had the best support possible and was certainly in great hands.
Before Treehouse, I was living a miserable and isolated life and desperately needed help to get back on track. Throughout the course of the program, I was able to find a strong sense of discipline, integrity, and perseverance and as a result, rebuild myself into the best version of my self that has ever existed. Treehouse’s wholistic approach to treatment empowers each client and arms them with the skills and tools needed to sustain a lasting recovery.
If you are ready to work hard and make some lasting changes to better your life, Treehouse is the best possible choice you can make.

Recovery is rarely a straight path. For me, it was marked by multiple attempts—each one beginning with hope and ending in frustration. I wanted sobriety, but wanting it and sustaining it were two very different things. Each setback carried shame, doubt, and the quiet fear that maybe lasting change just wasn’t meant for me.
Six years ago, everything shifted—but not for me at first. It was my husband whose life was saved by Treehouse. At a time when things felt beyond repair, they stepped in and gave him not just support, but a real chance at living again. Watching his transformation planted a seed in me, even if I wasn’t ready to fully act on it yet.
When I finally completed my own inpatient program, I was fragile but hopeful. Through my husband Treehouse met me right where I was offering suggestions for a straight transition into sober living for women, giving me a safe and structured environment where I could begin to rebuild. For a full year, I worked on myself in ways I never had before. During that time, Treehouse didn’t just check in—they actively supported my growth through their family program facilitating weekly therapy sessions that helped me understand myself, my patterns, and my path forward.
Their presence didn’t end there. Years later, Treehouse was still standing beside our family during one of the most challenging chapters of our lives—our court-mandated reunification. They ensured our son had access to therapy, advocating for healing not just individually, but as a family. Their continued support reminded us that recovery is not a moment in time—it’s an ongoing journey, and no one should have to walk it alone.
Today, I can say with certainty that Treehouse has been an integral part of our success. They didn’t just help us get sober—they helped us build a life beyond what we ever thought possible. A life grounded in stability, growth, and connection.
Some organizations provide services. Treehouse became something much more. They became our support system, our foundation, and ultimately, our family.

Spring Hill has been a life changing experience for me. The staff were kind, caring and professional. Groups were rich in educational information on addiction along with self awareness, and relationship therapy. The open campus allows for individuals to enjoy the fresh air and views.

This place will forever have a special spot in my heart. The employees saved my life every single day for 30 days. The therapists are also something to not overlook, they go WAY above and beyond to educate what's really going on with our minds and body. I've been through 4 recovery centers, two in Kentucky one in California and then this one. This is the only one I can truly say that they take this lifestyle seriously and the presence of a higher power flows through every body in the house. I wouldn't recommend any other place. Thank you for everything staff! I won't forget a single one of you.

I have been to this treatment centers at least 3 times and the e town facility twice. I’ve been to treatment as a controlled environment for this program over 40 times. But for 7 months through an implant in my ear I have had to listen to 2 or 3 people in my ear for 24/7 mostly about my ex boyfriend who the program hired to mess with me as well. Every treatment center and sober living I have been in for 7 years has participated all my so called friends, family, even bf were brought into it. I’m harassed about every trauma or horrible experience they could create or find out about. This was a good place but I hit 4 treatment centers in 4 weeks because they went too far stressing me with the voices in my ear canal as well as the clients and staff they recruited to play games while my thoughts broadcasted to the people around me. For the government to issue whatever for hips to be violated and them to enter a rehab for research grounds or court order is all that could do it. It’s been 17 years of nastiness especially the last 7 years but they hired my bf to leave me and play games with me so the voices in my ear could non stop torture me with him and how he took a job to leave me. The truth is they have had me isolated and single for 17 years and they had to get me lit and him away from me to be able to do this stressed out miserable research on me. So they brought him into the group payed to monitor me to get him away and make me feel miserable and isolated and they make sure I know it was about money from my boyfriend or ex I guess since I get a vague wish washy text ever 2 to 3 days to string me along so they can keep torturing me about him.how much money did it take. Why after I find someone after 17 years did you destroy it? Thanks for your part Stepworks London this was the second fight in 4 centers I had been to in 4 weeks. Crown was playing and Lackey and SouthShore RW in the past 6 weeks this program was even brought into the AA meetings I attended and my Clinicians were up to it too

The center was the perfect place for me to start my journey, and what I experienced there was beyond what I expected. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and understood. The environment helped me begin healing emotionally and mentally in ways I did not expect. Step by step, they guided me through the process with patience, kindness, and professionalism.
Everything was great the teachers and the entire team were incredibly supportive and caring. They helped me discover who I really am and gave me the confidence to continue my healing journey. I also appreciated how well everything was organized to make the experience comfortable and suitable for everyone’s different needs.
It’s truly a wonderful place to begin healing and personal growth. They genuinely care about people and take the time to address individual needs with professionalism and compassion. I highly encourage anyone who is looking for support or guidance to reach out to them and learn more about their services. The team is very professional, understanding, and dedicated to helping people heal and grow.

I had been searching tirelessly for support with my mental health and was on the verge of giving up when I discovered The Summit Wellness Group.
This place surpasses expectations by offering a variety of therapeutic approaches and helping individuals recognize certain behaviors in themselves and others. The staff and therapists are exceptionally compassionate and understanding. While I sometimes wish I had found this place earlier, I am thankful for discovering it at the right moment. This place has been instrumental in helping me rebuild myself, set boundaries, and identify my talents. It has truly been a lifesaver, and for that, I am profoundly and eternally grateful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Elevance Health Cover Addiction Treatment?
In 2010, a law called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed. This law requires all long term health insurance plans to cover a specific list of essential health benefits. Both mental healthcare and addiction treatment are part of the list, so you can rely on your Elevance Health plan to help cover at least some of the cost of drug rehab.
How much is covered? The details vary from plan to plan, so it’s important to talk to the insurance company for specifics. One thing is certain though — the law requires mental health and addiction to be treated the same as any other health condition but some conditions and exceptions do apply. They can’t charge extra or have higher out of pocket costs for those programs compared to other care.
It’s important to understand your specific plan so you know what centers are considered in network. Also, you should ask if there are any out of network benefits, in case your preferred treatment location isn’t part of your plan.
What Are Elevance Plans?
Elevance uses several companies to offer health insurance. The most well known are the Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans. Those are offered in 14 states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Anthem plans might be offered as a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), which costs less per month but requires you to use in network providers. Or, the plan could be a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) which gives you more medical options but also costs more per month. Other times the plan will be an Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO), which is in between the two, offering some flexibility and moderate cost.
If you have Medicare Advantage or Medicaid, you might have an Elevance Health affiliated plan through Wellpoint. Wellpoint used to be called Amerigroup. There are other Elevance affiliates as well, but they generally sell short term or catastrophic care only plans, which are not under the ACA and may not offer coverage for addiction treatment.
Does Elevance Health Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Most Elevance plans cover medication assisted treatment (MAT). MAT can be used during medical detox to manage withdrawal symptoms and it can also be used as a longer term treatment for those struggling with opioid or alcohol misuse.
MAT has been shown to help those struggling with substance use stay stable during treatment which lowers the chances of relapse and overdose.
Coverage for MAT must be verified for each individual health care plan. Talk to your doctor about medical necessity and get any preapproval or preauthorization you need before you start treatment.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Elevance Health Cover?
When it comes to inpatient care treatment plans commonly include 5 to 10 days of medical detox and 60 to 90 days of residential or inpatient treatment. Before you commit to a program you will want to verify coverage with your insurance company. For example you may need a referral or preauthorization before you start.
A medical detox program allows you to be medically monitored to help you get through the detox process. Medication and medical treatment can help with withdrawal symptoms which keeps the process safe and as comfortable as possible.
After detox patients start the recovery process by attending an inpatient or residential inpatient program. These rehabs allow you to focus on your recovery without any distractions from daily life. You will receive individual and group therapy along with holistic approaches which may include yoga and art therapy and meditation. There will also be recreation and other activities.
To maximize your chances of long term recovery, you will want to follow your inpatient or residential rehab with outpatient treatment that helps you reinforce and practice your new habits in your daily life.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Elevance Cover?
There are several types of outpatient treatment. As with all rehab programs you will want to verify your insurance and make sure you get any referrals or preauthorizations before you begin treatment.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a full day program that provides more than 20 hours per week of treatment. It’s similar to inpatient care except that you go home or to a sober living facility outside of treatment.
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is generally 3 days a week for about 9 hours of group or individual therapy along with other approaches. There may also be peer support and other activites.
Finally general outpatient programs may only require 1 to 3 hours per week. This can be individual therapy or group meetings. You may also be connected to a peer support group like a 12 step program and to other community resources.
How to Verify Coverage with Elevance Health?
Elevance offers a variety of insurance plans and they are primarily through Blue Cross and Blue Shield. To verify your coverage and ensure you have met all requirements for coverage there are a few different ways to get your plan details.
First you can contact your insurance company directly. You can look up the insurance customer service number on the back of the insurance card. Call them and ask how much coverage you have for rehab and what out of pocket costs you might have such as deductibles and copayments.
Another idea is to go online and log in to your account on the Elevance website. You’ll be able to view your coverage information and look for in network providers that offer the care you need.
Finally many treatment centers can help you verify your insurance. The center will know what insurance plans they accept and what kind of out of pocket costs you can expect. They should also let you know if your doctor needs to provide a referral or if you need to get a preauthorization.
By calling the helpline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses. There is no obligation to enter treatment.
Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider.
