Next Step Recovery is an amazing program in sober living community. The most incredible thing about this program is that everyone on the staff meets the clients where they are and motivates inspires, supports and encourages recovery growth and development in a safe, respectful and connected community.

Came to next step for iop/php after my inpatient stint. this was my first time in rehab and i am here as a result of legal issues, meaning i was here less than willingly. That being said I gained so much from this program, not just in sober time but mentally. The staff is amazing and they really care, as a few of them were former patients of next step themselves. There was not a day that i didnt feel as if i wasn’t important or that my needs werent met.The freedom and the trust is another big part, youre allowed to keep your phone and car, work, vape/smoke, and pretty much do as you please within reason. I hated my time where i did inpatient, but i genuinely enjoyed this program and the time i spent here. Im only 22 so i was the youngest person here for a long while, but i never felt out of place or anything of the sort. This would be a place i recommend 100%.

DPR was truly an amazing experience. They genuinely care about you and your recovery journey. Lucus pours his heart into this place and it shows. Cindy, TJ and JJ were extremely supportive and personable. The nurses, Amanda, Kenya, Bradie, and Kate were so kind and helpful. And of course Drew and Star were a highlight with the awesome food they prepared and had really great insight. It is truly a gem in the recovery community.

I don’t even know where to begin. This treatment center is truly changing lives. My husband attended their program during one of the hardest times our family has ever faced, and I can confidently say they gave us hope and confidence in his recovery.
From day one, the staff treated him with compassion and dignity. They weren’t just professionals—they were caring, patient, and truly passionate about helping people rebuild their lives. The counselors went above and beyond, not just helping him work through addiction, but helping him rediscover who he is without it.
What meant the most to me as a spouse was how they kept family involved and supported throughout the process. I felt heard and understood. This wasn’t just treatment—it was transformation.

This was my first time ever at a detox and what I could actually say is that this is the best detox. I’ve experienced lots of amazing food and the staff is great TJ Kathy Jen and Jonathan were my favorite out of the whole crew not saying that the rest of them weren’t respectful, but they were always accommodating me on my needs and checking up on me and making sure that I felt comfortable, especially with it being my first time ever at a detox treatment I definitely recommend this spot to people who are trying to get off drugs. I have lots of freedom. I’m able to have my tablet. They have amazing food. They’re super nice. They also give the shakes because I’m skinny. And it’s very well needed because I needed to gain weight and honestly, I’ve been here for four days and I’ve already gained 8 pounds

Yo this place has helped me tremendously when I was down and out. I successfully completed my detox and they assisted me into another facility for more treatment and made me feel as if I was taken care of and they would continue to support me although I'm leaving. I definitely recommend and will come back here specifically if I ever do need some more assistance with my substance treatments. #ughhh #hofrome #illughhhminati #igot

Graduating from Treehouse Recovery is one of the most meaningful things I’ve ever done. Im eternally grateful to Justin and all the staff that helped me.
When I first arrived, my life felt completely out of control and I honestly didn’t know if real change was possible. Treehouse didn’t just help me get sober — it helped me rebuild myself. The structure, the workouts, the accountability, and the brotherhood pushed me in ways I had never experienced before.
What makes Treehouse special is that the staff truly care. They don’t treat you like a number. They challenge you, support you, and hold you to a higher standard because they want to see you become the man you’re capable of being.
The brotherhood I found here is something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.
If you’re struggling and wondering whether recovery is actually possible, it is. Treehouse helped me find a new direction and a new life, and for that I’m incredibly grateful.

I arrived at Tree House physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted and hopeless. I leave renewed in all these areas and with hope through the brotherhood that is Tree House clients and staff. There’s no other way to put this than to keep it clear; the staff at Tree House genuinely care, seek to understand my needs, utilize a unique program that addresses the whole person, and provided me with the means to find my drive and motivation again. They demonstrated love (sometimes tough love) and genuine belief in me, thereby empowering me to overcome, achieve, and move forward as the best version of myself.

This place is amazing. The staff genuinely cares about your recovery and your personal wrll being. I have never been to a facility that goes above and beyond everyday to pour into the clients. I have been to several facilities over the past 12 years and Recovery Unplugged is the first one thus far that focuses on the underlying issues that lead to substance use, alcoholism, and addiction in the first place. Everywhere else that I have ever been wants to teach repeating classes on the brain chemistry and effects of drug use, relapse prevention, and codependency. All of those are useful, yes. But all of those are useless unless you address what got you there in the first place. I could go on forever but I will leave it at that. Oh and the food is AMAZING 😋
I'm David Moore that went thru the program! It was rough for me at first but the whole experience was amazing. The staff was very caring,loving,understanding and respectful. You get one on one therapy as well as group settings.Thinking of groups I learned so much about myself and made some true friends. We helped each other grow and lift the ones that needed a helping guiding hand. Remember we are all broked in our own way.Reach out please to Transitions Recovery! You will find yourself and learn all about your own true self and feel love and you will really find out how amazing you really are. TO ALL OF TRANSITIONS RECOVERY STAFF I LOVE SND THANK YOU 😊 ❤️! Y YOU TOO JOSH AND AUSTIN THE MIKE'S MISS JANET SUMMER WILL STEPHAN too many to list i love ❤️ you guys

Transitions Recovery Program in Miami didn’t just help me get sober it gave me a life beyond my wildest dreams. I walked in lost, broken, and unsure if real change was even possible. What I found was a deeply compassionate and structured environment that not only supported my recovery, but challenged me to grow in ways I never thought I could.
The staff is incredible many of them are in recovery themselves, so they get it. They met me where I was without judgment, but also didn’t let me stay stuck in old patterns. The clinical team, the group sessions, the one-on-one therapy, and even the everyday accountability they all played a part in reshaping how I saw myself and the world around me.
What really sets Transitions apart is that they don’t just focus on staying sober they teach you how to build a meaningful, fulfilling life in recovery. They helped me reconnect with who I really am, helped me process trauma, build healthier relationships, and most importantly, believe in myself again.
I’ll never be able to fully put into words how grateful I am for this place. Transitions helped me reclaim my life and then some. If you’re struggling, if you’re feeling hopeless, please know that change is possible. This program showed me that.

Transitions literally saved my life. It’s like no other rehab I’ve ever been at before, I’ve been to over 20 different rehabs and this one will definitely be my last lol. The staff here treat you like family and really care about you here. The outings were always so much fun, the groups were great, and I love how it’s a reality based program. 10/10 if you are thinking about coming here do it. Shout out Abe, Will, Shiffra, Josh, and Austin 🐐🐐🐐

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ambetter Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?
All of Ambetter’s health insurance plans are offered on the Insurance Marketplace so they all cover the 10 essential health benefits required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). That list of essential benefits includes mental health and addiction treatment.
However, every plan is different in terms of how much coverage you have and what requirements you need to meet. For example you might need to get a referral or preauthorization before insurance coverage is approved.
The provider networks and level of coverage vary state by state but they make it easy for you to check their coverage for yourself even before you sign up. If you are considering an Ambetter plan you can get the details of the plan from the state Marketplace before you enroll. If you’re already a member you can review your insurance by visiting their website and logging into your account.
What Types of Plans Does Ambetter Carry?
You can get a plan from them that’s either an HMO or an EPO or a PPO. There are a few rare instances where you can get a POS plan. Here’s how each plan works.
If you have an Ambetter Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan you’ll need to name a primary care provider (PCP). This will be the main doctor you see and they will coordinate your care by providing referrals to specialists. An HMO also requires you to use in network providers unless you’re in a life threatening emergency.
In most cases an addictions counselor and psychiatrist count as specialists who you need referrals for and you may also need preauthorization before you start treatment. That’s why it’s important to work with your PCP to create a treatment plan before you choose a rehab.
In an exclusive provider organization (EPO), you’ll only be able to get services from providers that are part of your plan’s network. Any care you get from outside of their network won’t be covered. However you won’t need to coordinate care through a PCP or get referrals to see specialists. You might still need preauthorization for certain services though so be sure to double check before you start treatment.
Ambetter has Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans in some states. These types of plans are usually more expensive in terms of monthly premium because they give you more freedom to choose who you want to see. They still have a network that they encourage you to use but if you want to see someone outside the network they will usually cover at least part of the cost. If you go out of network you’ll have a higher out of pocket costs and deductible than if you use an in network provider.
A Point of Service (POS) is the plan type that Ambetter offers the least frequently and it’s not available in most states. If you happen to be considering one the important thing to know is that your primary care provider acts as your care coordinator.
For any specialty care you’re thinking of getting you will have to see your primary care and get a referral. This will likely include your counselor and psychiatrist. The way this plan differs from an HMO is that you do have the freedom to get care from outside the plan’s provider network. You will likely have a higher deductible and higher copayments and coinsurance if you do.
What Perks Are Available With Ambetter Plans?
With Ambetter Perks you get deals on products and services that support your health and well being. You can get discounts on gym memberships and meal services as well as travel, entertainment and restaurant services. My Health Pays® also rewards you for keeping up with good health practices like getting a yearly physical exam and eating well.
Other perks like DispatchHealth and health management programs along with the 24/7 nurse advice line and Walgreens SmartSavings make healthcare and prescriptions more affordable and accessible with your membership.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Ambetter Cover?
Ambetter offers coverage for medically necessary care. That’s why before you choose a rehab facility you should devise a treatment plan with your doctor. This way you can get the referrals and documentation you may need to get coverage for inpatient addiction treatment.
Before you receive treatment getting the ASAM Criteria Level of Care Assessment from your doctor will help determine your specific needs and whether or not they recommend inpatient care. You may also need to meet certain criteria for residential care like a diagnosis of chemical dependency and medical stability after detox.
Medical detox gives you supervision from medical professionals who can provide care to help you manage your withdrawal symptoms. That sometimes includes medication assisted treatment (MAT) as well as other types of care.
When you enter residential care be prepared to continue with your program for 30 to 90 days depending on your treatment plan and care needs. During this time you’ll receive structured care including group and individual therapies and do various therapeutic activities. Having access to medical detox and inpatient treatment can offer additional support that increases the likelihood of long term recovery.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Ambetter Cover?
Ambetter covers various forms of outpatient treatment depending on your plan and what is medically necessary for your treatment. It may cover partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) as well as general outpatient treatment.
PHPs and IOPs both offer more structured treatment than general outpatient treatment. With a PHP you typically get at least 20 hours of intensive treatment each week including group and individual and even family therapy as well as holistic treatments. An IOP usually involves 9 to 15 hours of weekly therapy spread over several days and it has more flexibility than a PHP.
General outpatient treatment lets you go about your daily life and work your treatment around it. You may do treatment sessions in the evenings or on weekends, and the intensity of that treatment varies based on your needs. It can also be included as part of aftercare from a residential, PHP, or IOP program. Aftercare can act as continued support through recovery meetings and peer support along with counseling.
Does Ambetter Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Ambetter may cover MAT if it is a necessary part of your substance use treatment plan. You may need MAT as part of medical detox or for continued treatment for opioid and alcohol use though the extent to which you receive it depends on individual factors.
Much of the time you’ll receive methadone or suboxone to help reduce withdrawal symptoms as you detox or to help you stay medically stable over a longer period of time so you can pursue treatment with a lower risk of relapse.
Both medications are synthetic long acting opioids that block the euphoric effects of opioids like heroin or oxycodone. Suboxone combines buprenorphine and naloxone and is sometimes used as a less addictive option than methadone. However with professional supervision both are safe treatments for addiction.
Does Ambetter Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Ambetter only offers ACA compliant insurance so your plan does cover other mental healthcare. It covers care options like psychotherapy and psychiatry through group and family therapy. You may also be able to get inpatient treatment and crisis support for many mental health disorders. That can include anxiety and depression as well as bipolar disorder and OCD and many more.
Because substance use disorders often co occur with other mental health disorders it’s important to treat them too. By understanding and treating these co-occurring disorders simultaneously you can increase your success with long-term recovery by giving you more tools and support so you have the right care for all your needs.
