Alcohol addiction treatment in New York City can be costly, however, continuing with alcohol abuse can cost you much more. Not only is it expensive to consume alcohol regularly, but addiction to alcohol can also have several hidden costs, including your health, your job, legal and medical bills, and relationships. Suppose you have been struggling with the idea of getting professional help because of the cost of addiction treatment. In that case, there are ways to minimize your out-of-pocket costs, including using your union insurance.
Do Alcohol Rehabs Accept Union Insurance?
One of the advantages of belonging to a union is the healthcare benefits. Usually, union insurance plans cover more healthcare costs than non-unionized health insurance plans. This includes behavioral health and substance abuse treatment. There are many New York City alcohol rehabs that accept union insurance and most if not all of your addiction treatment may be covered by your plan.
There are several ways to determine your insurance plan benefits. Union benefits also include access to employee assistance programs (EAPs) that will find you mental health and alcohol addiction rehab programs that are covered by your insurance and will walk you through your benefits. You can call your health insurance company directly about what your plan covers and refer you to alcohol rehabs in New York City that are in-network.
