If someone is in need of help for drug addiction and is one of the fortunate clients to be covered through health insurance, many drug rehabilitation programs in Richmond accept health insurance and will liaise with individuals to find out which rehab services are covered. Most private health insurance entities cover outpatient and residential drug treatment, but the timeframe which is covered can vary. Private health insurance will typically cover the first 4 weeks of alcohol and drug rehabilitation, although there are individuals whose insurance is more substantial and could also cover a longer residence in a drug rehab program. It is asked that potential clients consult with their insurance company as soon as possible in liaison with the rehab program to establish what is and what is not approved by their private health insurance.
