However, specialist medical services such as inpatient drug rehabilitation for drug or alcohol addiction are typically privately-run, often requiring out of pocket payments to meet the cost of using them.

Some people believe that rehabilitation clinics are too expensive, but what’s the alternative?
Substance use disorder or drug and alcohol addiction wreak havoc on people’s physical and mental health. They must be fought against fiercely — the sooner the better. Professional care and, if necessary, medication-assisted treatment, are vital to ensure patient safety and recovery.
There is no specific coverage for drug and alcohol addiction under Medicare, but you may still be able to get help. The Better Access initiative can provide some mental health support with ten sessions. To be eligible for this support, you will need to see your GP and they will assess your situation.
Some private health insurance policies do not always cover alcohol addiction treatment. So before you choose a policy, make sure you compare different health funds so that you are aware of what is and is not covered. This way, you won't be surprised if you need to use your policy for alcohol addiction treatment and find out that it's not covered.
There is no "best" insurance provider for rehab. Different insurance companies offer different policies, and it's important to compare health funds to find one that meets your individual needs. Some important factors to consider include whether the policy covers inpatient or outpatient treatment, whether it covers research-based therapies, and what kind of out of pocket costs you'll be responsible for.
Other factors such as upper limits on coverage and pre-existing condition exclusions can also be important considerations. Speak with a knowledgeable insurance agent or therapist to learn more about what might be best for you.
The cost of a rehab treatment program depends on the particular physical, psychological and emotional needs of each patient.
Some rehab programs are more expensive than others because they offer more luxurious accommodations or more individualized care. However, most reputable rehab facilities will not leave patients with unmanageable bills.
Many people receive insurance benefits that cover a large portion of the cost of drug or alcohol rehab. Additionally, there are a number of government-funded programs available for those who cannot afford to pay for treatment privately.

There are different types of rehab programs, and some may be offered at no cost to the participant. But generally speaking, most rehab programs do require participants to pay a fee. The reason for this is that rehab is a very costly endeavour, and the facilities need to charge participants in order to cover their costs.
The best rehabs are often those that are most expensive. This is because they offer the highest level of care and have the best success rates. So if you or a loved one are looking for the highest possible chance of overcoming addiction, it’ll likely involve incurring costs.
Most insurance companies will cover inpatient rehab to some extent. However, coverage varies widely from one insurer to the next, so it's important to check with your provider to see what is covered under your specific plan.
Some common features of inpatient rehab that are often covered by insurance include detoxification, individual and group therapy, and educational classes. However, there may be some out-of-pocket costs depending on your particular plan, so it's always best to check with your provider in advance.
