If someone is in need of vital help for drug addiction and dependence and is lucky enough to be covered under health insurance, most alcohol and drug treatment programs in Altadena, California accept payment in the form of health insurance and will work with clients to determine what is and is not covered. Many private health insurance entities cover outpatient and residential alcohol and drug rehab, but the time in rehab which is included can vary. Private health insurance will typically cover the first 30 days of alcohol and drug treatment, although there are individuals whose plan is more substantial and may include a longer residence in an alcohol and drug rehab center. It is asked that potential clients speak with their plan directly and to ask for any help as needed from their rehabilitation program to figure out which services may be covered by their private health insurance.
