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.
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.

I just cannot say enough about the staff and facilities at White Sands Ft Myers - absolutely world class. Look, not everyone is “excited” to visit a treatment facility but in the case of White Sands Ft Myers you should be! You absolutely should be! It’s a priceless opportunity to spend 4 weeks of very intense very high quality time healing and focusing on becoming a better person, the best person you can be - everyone could benefit from 4 weeks in Ft Myers, absolutely everyone! It’s such a gift and I will remember my time there as some of the most important weeks of my entire life - and no, that is not an exaggeration! If you are considering treatment I can’t imagine there being a better choice anywhere in the US (not just Florida) than White Sands Ft Myers.

All around great experience. Counselors & therapists are amazing. All the staff is amazing. And they set you up with all the tools you need to maintain sobriety.
Hello im Ashley and im an addict. My whole life has been filled with chaos and trauma. Some from my own doing and some that wasnt my fault. There is not a single bad word i can say abouy my experience at Beachway Therapy Center. My time there was cut short thanks to my own self-sabotaging behavior. Even then Beachway still treated me with compassion and the desire to help me. My situation was a unusual one. I came into the trauma program with a clean date of April 16th 2014. So at 11 years clean i was dealing with bipolar disorder, intense anxiety, a very unhealthy toxic relationship and an intense desire to break generational curses for my children. My history is one that involves homelessness, street drugs and a street mentality. Beachway took on the challenge of helping me work thru that trauma. I opened up to the program and other woman like never before. I had an amazing counselor, amazing case manager, and amazing staff that were there anytime i had moments of high anxiety or worry. I am so disappointed i ruined my chances of having a chance at going thru a trauma program with Beachway. Just in the short time i was there i did gain a small sense of self back. If you were like me and worry about making friends with the other clients because they wont understand you or like you, that is not even close to true. I found a sense of community that i couldnt find anywhere else in my life. If i manage to find a magic lamp, one of my wishes would definitely be used on looking young forever after that id wish to feel the peace and serenity i felt at Beachway. Thanks to them i had just enough courage to get me and my kids out of my bad situation. Now my goal is to continue with trauma therapy. Do not be me and let your past dictate your future. No matter how clean you are from drugs that trauma will creep up on you and when it does use tools like Beachway to seek help instead of the alternative, and please for the love of your higher power get out of your own way and accept their help before you get kicked out like i did. I am forever grateful. Thanks for letting me share my expierence, strength and hope.

My experience at Banyan was very good. The staff was very helpful, the therapy was extremely beneficial , and the food was great! Like with all rehabs, it is what you make of it. If you go there thinking everything is perfect, you’ll be disappointed, it’s not. If you go for simply a social experience, it’s not a resort. If you go because you’re serious about your recovery, it’s a great place to take the first step !

Loved Beachway. I was extremely anxious with everyday panic attacks, and the medicine was no longer working. At Beachway I found a way to control my attacks and anxiety. It is not easy and sometimes I felt like it wasn’t going to work.
We worked through my childhood traumas and I learned techniques on how to defuse my anxiety.
Loved Dina’s honest and hardcore classes and also Gigi’s trauma class.
From the intake department, to the counselors, security, kitchen staff, Directors, Nurses and everyone that worked there I thank you. ❤️
I showed up to Treehouse ready to change but i didn't know how to make these changes. Anything i tried alone always seemed to fail until i was accepted into the treehouse family. They showed me how to handle simple to complex tasks with a rational clear thinking mind. They gave me the tools and confidence to stay in a state of gratitude day in and day out. They solidified my hard working ethics and gave me a place to call home. We worked hard and we had a lot of fun. I particularly love the ocean (surfing, diving, skimboarding) so being on the boats with the team was my favorite part of the physical modalities. I owe it big time to the clinical staff for listening intently, caring and asking the right questions at the right time to help me work through a lifetime of baggage.

Treehouse has made a huge impact on my life. The values, connections and education have given me an entire different perspective on life. They have given me the tools and knowledge on how to live a life in sobriety. The staff are all super cool and very supporting of whatever you are going through and will do the best they can to help you get where you need to be. Thank you treehouse !

Tree House is truly an incredible place. My life was changed in so many ways thanks to Tree House and the amazing staff. I love this place with all my heart and the people I got to know during my time there. The structure of the program combined with the camaraderie of the people around you is a match made in heaven. Thank you Tree House for giving me the life I live today.
This place has saved my life! Great program great staff 5/15/25 an update since first review: I have now completed the program here at SRC and its been the most amazing beautiful experience here! From the 2 week residential then to the IOP living at Trullies for 90 days, then completing the rest of IOP while I moved to sober living. Everyone from the CEO Lee to the therapist's to the facilitators, to the behavioral health staff, peer support staff, case managers, and receptionist they all work together closely for each individual patient and their case while they are apart of SRC. Each phase of the program is held delicate for the patient's, to make it a smooth transition on each phase. They offer OP (outpatient) for the patient's that have graduated so they still get continued doctor's appointments, and still are able to have therapy with the therapist that has been with the patient through out the whole program. SRC has offered my life back to me, has taught me many coping skills, relapse prevention skills, trauma therapy, communication skills. They offer job support, housing, reentry programs, medication management. I HIGHLY recommend SRC for substance abuse and mental health treatment. They have a wonderful detox center, that doesn't make you feel shameful. If you are needing help, there is no reason to look anywhere else. This place has saved many lives from experience and me personally witnessing it myself.

SRC is the only place to go if you really want to find yourself and your path to recovery. The entire staff is amazing! They are empathetic, caring and supportive at a time when you need it the most. I highly recommend SRC for anyone who is trying to find their way through recovery. The amount of support and love you take with you when you leave this place is life changing!

they are very helpful and compassionate and I had a great experience. however the program is only 2 weeks long when they advertise a 30 day program.
I have been fighting hard to recover from a heroin/fentanyl addiction and depression since 2013. I have been to more treatment centers than I can count. Ever since I stepped through the doors of First Step, change really started to happen when it seemed hopeless. Mainly because I truly feel loved, respected, and a part of when I am there. Also, I am still a part of a community even after I've walked out the doors. Being there or around the community just feels right and I've never felt that comfortable in any other place or recovery community before. I have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body, and I would recommend First Step Behavioral Health to anyone and everyone. First Step will always have a special place in my heart. I have redeemed a lost piece of myself. I am blessed with the miracle of having freedom, peace, joy, and contentment for the first time in my life. I couldn't do it without them.

This is the best treatment center you will find and I highly recommend. After many failed attempts at recovery this was the place I truly learned honesty, integrity, fellowship and courage for myself and it wasn't so much through the incredible knowledge I received, which was also of importance, but it was through the day in interaction of the staff here and the examples set for me that made a lasting impact. People that became like family and I will never forget them. Thank you First Step, for everything.

I went there in November of 2024 because I was desperate to get help. They were very helpful with getting me there, checking with me before I got there, and making sure I didn't change my mind about going (as most of us do when It comes to getting sober). I had an awesome time there, the staff was great (they had their off days, as us alcoholics/addicts do). We were busy most all day every day. They take you to the gym 3x a week, they do panels, and outside meetings as well. The facility itself is clean, there's laundry machines, snacks & coffee on deck 24/7, they take you to the vape shop and wal mart once a week, and they are working on more outside activities. There were tvs and DVD players in every unit with a TON of dvds. No bed time so you are free to roam around the facility or chill and watch TV. The groups got a little boring (but if you are with a good group of guys they are a lot of fun and informative). The way insurance and every thing works was a little frustrating because it's on a weekly basis if you stay on the treatment side or go to phase 2. You are allowed your phone 3x a day for a hour each time. The units are awesome, it is an apartment (if you go try to get into the one above the kitchen on the left haha). Mike who is one of the main dudes is an awesome person! I am currently on day 63 and if it weren't for the lighthouse I would most likely be either dead or in the process of drinking myself to death. If you are in need of help, do the hard thing and ask for it. The money, job, or whatever it is that is keeping you from going won't be there much longer if you continue to do what you're doing. I love you all and hope this helps!

I would like to express my gratitude to the Lighthouse and all the staff who had helped me and guided me. I stayed at the Lighthouse for about 90 days and in that timeframe I was able to receive one on one Care meet with a therapist. All my needs were met. Everyone went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. I am forever grateful for this facility and being there for me at a time when I needed it the most.
Thank you, Stephanie and Julie for holding my hands as I walk through those doors!
What I love about this facility is their exceptional patient-to-therapist ratio, which really helps in the treatment process. Couldn't be more thankful to them.

When we started, I was hesitant about making changes, even though I knew I needed help. My goals were to keep my relationship strong, revive my passion for my business, and address my mental health issues. I'm forever thankful! Their support and service truly transformed me in ways I never imagined possible.
The staff was really amazing in welcoming you into the program,the sessions with groups and speaking with social workers was great,even going to church service,I was in the program for only 30 days,them 30 days changed my life and it made me feel like I have 30 more yrs of life for beating my addiction,almost forgot the food was amazing thanks to the chiefs.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
