If an individual requires vital help for alcohol and drug addiction and dependence and is one of the fortunate clients to have health insurance, most alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers in Trinidad accept payment in the form of health insurance and will liaise with clients to find out which types of treatment are insured. Many private health insurance companies will cover outpatient and residential drug and alcohol treatment, but the timeframe which is considered covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance will typically cover the first 4 weeks of drug and alcohol rehabilitation, although there are people whose plan is more extensive and may include a longer residence in an alcohol and drug treatment facility. It is best to seek advice of their insurance company as soon as possible with the help of their rehab facility to determine what is covered by their private health insurance.
