If an individual is in need of vital help for drug and alcohol addiction and is one of the fortunate clients to have health insurance, most drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Colorado Springs will accept any type of health insurance and will cooperate with clients to determine what is and is not covered. Many private health insurance entities cover outpatient and residential drug treatment, although the time which is included can vary. Private health insurance most often covers the first 4 weeks of drug and alcohol rehab, but there are people whose insurance is more extensive and can extend to a more long-term time in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility. It is recommended that individuals seek advice of their plan directly and to ask for any help as needed from their treatment program to establish what is and what is not approved by their private health insurance.
