If someone must receive treatment for alcohol and drug addiction and is fortunate enough to be covered under health insurance, many drug rehabilitation programs in San Francisco, California accept payment in the form of health insurance and will work with people to determine what is and is not insured. Many private health insurance entities cover outpatient and residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation, but the time which is covered can fluctuate. Private health insurance will typically cover the first 30 days of drug and alcohol treatment, but there are persons whose coverage is more extensive and could also include a more significant stay in an alcohol and drug rehab center. It is asked that potential clients seek advice of their insurance company directly in liaison with the rehabilitation facility to figure out what is approved by your private health insurance.
