CareSource Insurance Coverage for Rehab Treatment
Understanding your insurance benefits can be one of the first steps toward addiction treatment. Here, we’ll explore how you can use your CareSource insurance benefits to access behavioral health treatment, including treatment for substance use disorder.
Does CareSource Insurance Cover Drug and Rehab?
Yes, CareSource health insurance offers a variety of plans with coverage for drug and alcohol rehab.2
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that Marketplace health insurers, like CareSource, provide coverage for mental health treatment, including the treatment of substance use disorder.2
Your coverage may fully or partially pay for your addiction treatment. Exact benefits depend on your individual policy. Call American Addiction Centers (AAC) at to learn more about using your CareSource insurance to cover rehab.
What Types of Addiction Treatment Does CareSource Health Cover?
Addiction treatment is highly individualized. Your primary care doctor or an addiction specialist can help determine what type of substance use disorder treatment fits your needs.
If deemed medically necessary, your CareSource insurance will likely cover at least part of the cost of:
- Medical detox.
- Medications for addiction treatment.
- Inpatient or residential rehab.
- Outpatient treatment.
- Treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Medical Detox
Withdrawal without medical support can be uncomfortable and, in some cases, dangerous. Working with a medical detox team can provide support, medication, and medical care as you prepare for inpatient or outpatient treatment.3
Medication for Addiction Treatment
Medication may be prescribed as a part of a comprehensive addiction treatment plan for people in recovery from certain substances. Medications can mitigate cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing them to focus on therapy and putting their new skills into practice.3
Inpatient Rehab
Inpatient rehab and residential treatment allow patients to live at the treatment facility and have access to around-the-clock care. Anyone can benefit from this type of rehab, especially those who have a severe substance use disorder or do not have a safe or supportive living environment.3
Outpatient Treatment Programs
During outpatient treatment, patients can live at home while still receiving treatment during the day. Outpatient programs can take several formats. From least to most intensive, these include by-appointment rehab, intensive outpatient programming (IOP), and partial hospitalization programming (PHP).3
Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment
Also known as having a dual diagnosis, a co-occurring disorder is when a person has a substance use disorder and another form of mental illness.3 For many people living with addiction, mental health conditions can affect the ability to make behavioral changes.
Simultaneous treatment of addiction with co-occurring disorders is associated with improved outcomes compared to treating one at a time. At AAC facilities, our team provides dual diagnosis treatment to help you develop the skills and coping strategies you’ll need to continue your recovery after you complete inpatient or outpatient treatment.

Does CareSource Health Cover Out-of-Network Rehab Programs?
This depends on the details of your insurance policy. Certain plans only cover in-network treatment, while others may provide some coverage for out-of-network providers, typically with higher out-of-pocket costs.
Many rehab facilities offer other payment options, such as self-pay (cash, credit, or debit), financing, or sliding fee scales that adjust treatment cost based on your income.
