How to Obtain Insurance for Substance Abuse?

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!
