Question by victorbartlett1: How to obtain insurance for substance abuse?
l was wondering if anyone can help me. I need to go to a detox facility and was wondering if there was an insurance that covered it? I am 21 years old living in NY.

Best answer:

Answer by Cella
If your health insurance covers it then that’s the only way you can have insurance pay. There is no special insurance for this. Unless you go to a state funded program. You can look online for programs in your area or look into state or county help.

Substance abuse is a mental and medical condition. Just remember these programs may have a waiting list.

Take care and never give up!

Question by Vivianna: I am looking for a rehabilitation house for alcohol addiction. What are benefit doing recovery?
in sober house?

Best answer:

Answer by SeeInElle
I’m going to go ahead and guess the other five questions that were posted around the same time this was and concern alcohol recovery houses (and are all in poor English) are also by you.

What are the benefits of recovery in a sober house?

You will have more support and will be exposed more to recovery…the rest of your questions I cannot understand because they are in broken English. I’d suggest you post your questions in your native language on the appropriate Yahoo Answers website.

No one will really be able to understand the questions you asked like “How to get best half way house” or “How long do usually people with drugs or alcohol addiction achieve their goal in recovery house sand How much it cost.” <-- Not only is this vague, because different recovery houses cost drastically different amounts I really do not understand what the first part of the question is asking. How long to achieve what goals??? Then there is another, very poorly written question that is just an advertisement for a website about half way houses....my point is you should start to ask questions in your native language.
