If an addict requires help for drug and alcohol addiction and dependence and is fortunate enough to be covered under health insurance, many drug rehab programs in Santa Barbara, California will accept any type of health insurance and will work with individuals to see which rehab services are covered. Most private health insurance companies cover outpatient and inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation, but the timeframe which is considered covered can vary. Private health insurance most often covers the first month of drug rehab, although there are persons whose plan is more substantial and may cover a more significant stay in a drug treatment facility. It is best to speak with their insurance company directly and to ask for any help as needed from their rehabilitation center to determine what is approved by their private health insurance.
