The clinical building being separate from the housing is a detail that sounds small but makes a big practical difference. You go there to work, and you come back to somewhere calmer when the day is done. That separation gave the whole experience a clearer shape.

Friday afternoons they bring in alumni speakers. Sitting in a room listening to someone who's been through it and come out the other side is different from any group session with a counselor. It was one of the parts of the week I genuinely looked forward to.

The weekly family group, held online so family can join from wherever, is something I wasn't expecting. My family had been through a lot and being able to include them in the process, even from a distance, changed how I felt about what I was doing here. Recovery doesn't happen in a bubble and a program that actually acknowledges that is worth noting.

By far the most respectful, professional staff. Because of the care, compassion from the CEO down to the RSS staff. With their personal guidance, I continue to stay sober, happy and a clear headed member of society. I will forever be grateful.

The pool,basketball court, volleyball court and putting green are a plus. They teach you so much here. Kelly. Natalie, and Genesis, are amazing. There's not 1 thing I can complain about. This place is teaching me how to love myself despite all the shit ive done. I recommend this place to everyone who needs help. Lee the CEO is awesome. Josh from admissions is cool and he helps tremendously. Genuine people!!!

Didn’t want to attend the PHP program at the Plymouth house for my issues with Alcohol but I am beyond thankful that I did. The community here has helped me grow in the two months I’ve been there and taught me skills I will continue to practice in my sobriety. It’s isn’t always a walk in the park but if you need help why not try it, only positives can come from it.

Completing the Residential and PHP program at the Plymouth House was the best decision I made for my recovery. The groups offered take a deep dive into effective means of recovery that I benefit from daily. The staff went above and beyond, the facility itself is kept in great condition, and the food was amazing. I am very thankful to have had the experience I did from The Plymouth House.

I cannot express enough gratitude for The Plymouth House. The staff, program, structure, and supportive community gave hope and has helped me to find me again! Letting go and coming here has been one of the best decisions of my life. This is a special place… I expected the process to be overwhelming, and impossible but they made it so easy. If are considering you might have the need just give a call and talk to them.

I came to White Sands a shell of a person and was losing hope that life would ever get better. From the moment I was greeted in the parking lot- I was welcomed and treated like a person and not a number. I not only got a chance to get some clean time before going out into the world, but the therapy and the groups they offer really dig deep into the actual issues of why we started using in the first place. I highly recommend the core skills program- its life changing. Many of the people working there are in recovery and it was absolutely mind blowing to me how well I was treated the entire stay. Many of my peers including myself have been to other treatment facilities and never got the kind of care you will recieve here. Even the food is made from scratch and prepared with love. The housing is very comfortable and clean and the whole campus is well cared for. The activities they have for us when we have down time are a lot of fun- pickle ball and can jam were my favorites. They even offer massage and chiro visits. This was an excellent experience overall. Thank you for helping me get back up and ready to tackle what comes next on my journey.

Janette is an amazing support. She truly cares about my well being and is ALWAYS there to help me with anything. She is by far the best case manager I have ever seen or been in this position with.

I can’t say enough about this place! White Sands was like home away from home. All of our needs and wants were met with a smile and a caring voice. All of the counselors absolutely love their job and you can see it when they interact with the patients. The techs were very compassionate and did all they could to make our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. The therapists take their time and really get to know you and help you through your struggles. The community is the heart of the program. The more involved you become with others the more you learn along the way. Make sure to take part in the extracurricular activities such as: corn hole, pickleball, uno, karaoke and ping pong, it really does help make it feel more like a summer camp and less like rehab. Finally, Janette one of the case managers goes ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure that EVERYTHING is just right.

I came in scared, vulnerable, lost everything and couldn't trust anyone. RCA had an environment that I could not understand how that much diversity could show so much love, and support to a person as broken as I was. Staff were gentle in a way that the truth of what needed to be said and heard could change my life. I was a person that said I would never go to a rehab or A.A. Today I am certainly blessed I began my journey with RCA in south amboy N.J. for they not only established a seed but gave me hope and loved me when I couldn't love myself

RCA has given me a chance of a new life! Not my old life! They prepare you to go into the world when you leave with tools on how to live sober and clean!
It can be done and there is hope if you have faith and an open mind and willingness to change. Listen to all the suggestions, and put down your ego! Recovery is not one and done! It’s is a lifestyle and a new way to live. I came to RCA drinking and doing another drug 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and am now sober and clean for 3 years!!!

Today I am 5 years and 2 months sober. I thank God and Recovery Centers of American each and every day and night For a place like this, that has helped me and so many others recover from addiction. I would tell anyone that I know who is still sick and suffering that RCA is the place to go to get the recovery that they need. The environment is safe, clean an well organized. I would give a million stars if I could.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does AmeriHealth Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Most AmeriHealth plans will cover at least some addiction treatment in accordance with the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA). However, the amount each plan carries and the requirements to ensure coverage applies will vary from plan to plan. That means it’s important to check the details of your insurance before you commit to rehab.
Insurance benefits can differ widely, so it may help to compare how other insurers structure their addiction treatment coverage. You can learn more about rehab options to get a clearer sense of what’s typically included for detox, inpatient care, and outpatient services.
Also all insurance plans will focus on covering medically necessary care. Working with your doctor to get a treatment plan based on your needs will help you get coverage for the addiction treatment that’s appropriate for your situation.
What Are AmeriHealth Plans?
AmeriHealth offers multiple plans through their family of companies. This includes individual and family plans along with Medicare options and Medicaid.
You can get individual and family plans through your employer or in the Insurance Marketplace in New Jersey or Delaware or Florida. There are also Marketplace options in North and South Carolina. If you get your insurance through the Marketplace your plan is likely to be a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plan. With an HMO you will have a doctor who serves as your primary care physician (PCP). Your PCP will give you referrals to specialists within the provider network and help with any needed prior authorizations. An EPO doesn’t require you to get a referral to see a specialist like an addiction counselor or therapist. Both HMOs and EPOs only cover in network providers unless there’s an emergency or need for urgent care.
AmeriHealth offers Medicare Advantage plans in New Jersey as well. Medicare Advantage is a full replacement plan for Original Medicare. It covers the same things as Original Medicare but often has additional benefits. The AmeriHealth Advantage plan includes routine dental and vision care along with hearing coverage and virtual medical care. AmeriHealth’s Advantage plan is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) which means you can see out of network providers although you’ll pay quite a bit more out of pocket. You can also see in network specialists without a referral.
AmeriHealth Caritas offers Medicaid plans and Dual Eligible Medicare Medicaid plans in a variety of states. Medicaid coverage is determined by the state but you will have access to a wide variety of care which includes addiction treatment. You will need to choose medical providers that accept your state’s Medicaid plan.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does AmeriHealth Cover?
Most AmeriHealth plans cover inpatient care as required by the Affordable Care Act. Since insurance focuses on medically necessary treatments getting a treatment plan from your doctor is essential.
For example, the ASAM assessment evaluates the patient’s needs and obstacles along with resources and support system. This information helps decide the right level of addiction care whether that’s inpatient treatment or some level of outpatient rehab.
Inpatient care usually begins with medical detox and is followed by a stay of about 3 to 4 weeks in a care center. This is typically the most intensive level of rehabilitation available.
What Outpatient Rehab Does AmeriHealth Cover?
Outpatient rehab care is a form of addiction treatment that allows patients to continue living at home while attending rehab for multiple hours a week at treatment facility.
These are the three main types of outpatient care:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
General Outpatient
PHP is the most intense type of outpatient care and is also known as day treatment because you’re in rehab all day although you go home in the evenings. IOP is next and requires around 9 hours of treatment each week divided across three days. You can often choose morning or evening sessions to better accommodate your work or school schedule.
General outpatient is the least intensive and meets once or twice a week. The biggest difference between all forms of outpatient and inpatient care is that you can continue living at home during outpatient rehab.
Does AmeriHealth Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is often an essential part of addiction recovery. Many AmeriHealth plans cover MAT under behavioral health services.
MAT is commonly used during detox to manage withdrawal symptoms which helps you stay safe and as comfortable as possible during the process. It can also be used as an ongoing treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders.
Methadone is a long acting full opioid agonist that works on the same receptors as opioids but doesn’t produce a high. Suboxone works similarly to methadone — acting on the same receptors — but it isn’t as strong.
MAT helps you manage cravings and avoid relapse during treatment while you’re learning new skills and mindsets. As you get stronger in recovery you can wean off the medication support and live a fully substance free life.
Does AmeriHealth Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Most plans provide some level of coverage for mental health treatment thanks to the ACA. However it’s always a good idea to check your specific plan to confirm what’s covered. Mental health treatment may include counseling and crisis support along with and care for co occurring disorders.
When someone is diagnosed with both addiction and another mental health issue it’s called a co occurring disorder. This is common in addiction treatment and should be addressed simultaneously to support successful long term recovery.
Can I Travel Out of State For Treatment With AmeriHealth?
It depends on your exact AmeriHealth plan and whether you can travel out of state. Many plans require that patients stay in a defined provider network unless they need emergency care.
Some plans include coverage for care outside the network but you’ll pay far more for copayments and deductibles. For example the Medicare PPO plan available in New Jersey offers out of network care but it’s much more expensive.
In general staying within your state and your provider network is better to maximize your insurance coverage and reduce costs.
How to Verify Coverage With AmeriHealth
If you need to verify your coverage with AmeriHealth you can either call their customer service number or log into your online member account. This will give you coverage information and help you find in network providers.
Another option is to ask the treatment center you’re considering if they accept your specific plan. Make sure you verify coverage using your exact plan name and not just “AmeriHealth” since they offer a range of plans with varying levels of coverage.
By calling the helpline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses. There is no obligation to enter treatment.
Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider.
