Empire Plan (United Health Care/UHC)

Deciding to enter a rehab facility to recover from drug or alcohol addiction is difficult. In the United States, it’s estimated that 17.6 million people suffer from alcohol addiction, while only a fraction of that number can get the treatment they need.

Many people who suffer from addiction don’t get the help they deserve for several reasons. The most common roadblock that prevents people from entering rehab is the cost. Rehab is often expensive, and the cost of rehab combined with the pressure of taking time off work and figuring out other financial logistics such as mortgage payments and childcare can put extra stress on someone in recovery.

Rehab coverage from insurance companies is a great way to get part of the cost or the full treatment episode covered. Clients can recover in peace without the stress of figuring out a way to pay for the treatment. Continue reading to learn more about The Empire Plan drug rehab coverage.
