I have been in and out of treatment for 15 years, and this is by far the best recovery center I have ever been to. The staff genuinely care about every client and their well-being. They aren’t just out for money or treating people like another number—they truly want to see you heal, grow, and succeed. I have felt supported, understood, and cared for throughout my time here. Recovery is not easy, but this center has given me hope and the tools I need to build a better life. I’m incredibly grateful for this place and would recommend it to anyone who is ready to make a change.

I would not be where I am today without the help of Recovery Unplugged. I had two 30 day visits with them back in 2019 before moving on to a 90 program in Arizona. Everyone was friendly and you felt like you actually mattered. The musical component of it all was life changing and is still a huge support in my life today. It's outside of the box recovery and if you are looking for a place to start, this is it. I'm coming on six years of sustained recovery and now hold a masters in divinity while thriving in Tucson. AZ. None of this would have been possible without Recovery Unplugged and I could not be more grateful for all they provided in early recovery.

The program and support is great, but once you finish no resources are provided. No follow-up with patients. They are all about profit. The providers can't even provide outside resources. This should be a warning sign they are out to make money.

As a family member, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mountainside Treatment Center in Huntington. From the very beginning, the staff treated both our loved one and our family with compassion, respect, and genuine care during an incredibly difficult time.
The communication throughout the process was thoughtful and professional, and it was clear that everyone involved truly wanted the best possible outcome. Mountainside provides best-in-class treatment in a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment. Knowing our loved one was in such caring and capable hands gave us comfort and hope when we needed it most.
We are deeply grateful for the support, guidance, and dedication of the entire team. Highly recommend.

As a clinical social worker running a local group practice, I regularly collaborate and refer clients to Mountainside Treatment Center. Their staff has always been exceptional, especially Courtney Hulse and Dan Sexton, who go above and beyond in tailoring their treatment plans for each client and family. Mountainside serves as a tremendous resource, providing quality substance abuse treatment that is critically needed here on Long Island. We are enthusiastic about continuing to work with Mountainside to best serve our community and families. Thank you for all you do Mountainside. Highly recommend!

These people run a great place - referred a friend and they are doing great - some of the best people around. They really care. If you find yourself or a loved one in a tough position - Courtney and her team will go above and beyond. Addiction is a tough thing. It’s hard on everyone who is involved and if you have to go through it, that is the place you want on your side. 10 stars.

Detox can be a daunting and dangerous experience. I’m so glad I found Gallus Detox Phoenix. I felt safe and protected the entire time. The facility was impeccably clean and provided me with all the necessary medical, personal and nutritional needs. Most importantly, the staff, to include the physician, clinicians and administrators were knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, and confidential. Without hesitation, I can give Gallus
Phoenix, my highest recommendation.

After having the courage to walk through the doors I had the most positive experience with the Rescu unit. The staff, counselors and all the supporting roles from kitchen to housekeeping made my stay amazing. I walked away with clarity and the tools to conquer the next step in life. Thanks to all for being compassionate and showing up to do good things for a person that was on the down and out.

I have been to RCA Westminster on a couple of occasions. The staff has always treated me well and the care team was great. The rooms are very comfortable with showers and queens beds for most of the rooms with just one roommate. I was very please with the accommodations and the plan that was set forth by the care team while I was there and my exit plan upon discharge. I would recommend RCA Westminster to anybody that is interested in starting their journey of recovery.

Coming into Treehouse PDX I was missing the mental tools needed to treat my trauma that led to my drinking. I didn’t know how to cope and realized that I wasn’t like normal people who drink. I drank to fill a hole.
However with being in the PHP program, I got a lot of the help I was looking for. With great leadership and counseling they helped me get back to a place where I can heal. Where I can now use these tools and build a life that I can call healthy and be inspired by.
The house itself is a lot nicer than what I think people may expect. The Facility itself for me is great! (I don’t go to the gym so I don’t have much to compare to, so it feels top notch to ME). We work out for about 4 hours every weekday. Running, Yoga (aka “Joga”), MMA padwork, pickleball and more.
The counseling is amazing. The team definitely makes you feel like you’re getting 1 on 1 care, even considering the amount of clients they have.
This is my first and I believe last treatment center I will be attending. But I think this is the BEST. I’ve heard from other people in the sober community who have had more experience than I do and they never fail to tell me about what a privilege I have in being in Treehouse.
Thank you to Treehouse Staff, My Brothers and Team! I’m happy to say I’ve made lifelong connections while on this lifelong journey of healing.

My time at treehouse recovery changed my whole trajectory in life. It’s rare that anyone give themselves a chance to hit stop and spend 3 months dedicated to only growth and healing from the past. I will always look at treehouse as the pivotal point when I decided to do what I needed for myself. I can’t stress enough how amazing this program is. I have seen so many men come in different stages of spiritual decomposition and leave glowing and empowered with new purpose and strength. 100/10.

The nutritionist there is HORRIBLE. I personally am lactose intolerant and when I was admitted my liver was bad, so I needed a diet tailored to helping me recover. She told me if I can’t find anything to just eat from the salad bar. I stood my ground and she let the kitchen staff know I was lactose intolerant and couldn’t eat fried stuff but that is ridiculous I should not have to argue with her. Then my roommate had ARFID so she needed dietary help, and the nutritionist told her to eat bread. That’s a sad and pathetic excuse for a nutritionist. Staffs great but they should certainly fire her.

This year, I've undergone two surgeries, and despite some delays, the team worked diligently to provide quality service. I sensed that they are short-staffed in certain areas, which could lead to longer wait times when working with the surgical team, as they are constantly busy. During my hospital stay, I encountered some exceptional individuals who made me feel at home despite my homesickness. I would like to extend special thanks to Jihan, Jeliesa, Arrienna, and many others for their incredible support.

Does Beacon Health Options Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Beacon Health/Carelon provides behavioral health benefits which include addiction treatment and mental healthcare. However Beacon/Carelon doesn’t decide the actual cover levels — the insurance plans do. So it’s important to understand the details of your insurance coverage even if you see Beacon/Carelon as your behavioral health provider.
All health insurance plans focus on covering medically necessary care so you’ll want to start by working with your doctor to create a treatment plan for your substance use recovery. This will help you focus on what specific types of care you need and will be used by insurance to prove medical necessity.
What Specialty Services Does Beacon Health Options Offer?
Beacon Health/Carelon offers several specialty services, including programs for substance use disorders and serious mental illness.
Its addiction programs include Changing Pathways which provides medically assisted treatment for opioid use disorder and Resilience through Information Support and Education (RISE) which is a case management intervention program.
Another specialty service Beacon Health/Carelon provides is for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and includes medication management, peer specialists, proactive crisis planning, and care coordination.
They also have care for eating disorders and peer support programs to help you get through challenges by relying on the wisdom of those who have been where you are.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Beacon Health Options Cover?
Beacon Health/Carelon can connect you with inpatient addiction treatment programs through various insurance companies. However, Beacon Health/Carelon doesn’t control the coverage levels or requirements of your plan so be sure to review your plan before you start rehab.
While most plans cover medically necessary inpatient care, coverage levels will vary. You’ll want to work with your doctor to get a treatment plan that will show what’s medically necessary in your case. Your doctor may do an ASAM assessment to determine the level of care you need.
The most common inpatient care includes medical detox and inpatient or residential care. Medical detox provides medical oversight to help you manage withdrawal symptoms during detox. Residential care allows you to focus on recovery without distractions.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Beacon Health Options Cover?
Several different treatment options for outpatient rehab are available through Beacon Health/Carelon. Outpatient rehab may involve individual, group, or family therapy sessions, either in person or virtual.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) offer the most intensive outpatient rehab and usually require you to spend several hours a day in a treatment center five to seven days a week. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) involve therapy sessions for nine to 19 hours per week. As you proceed along the path to recovery, you’ll transition to general outpatient treatment, attending counseling sessions once or twice a week.
Make sure you understand your insurance coverage and any referrals or preauthorizations you need before you begin treatment.
Does Beacon Health Options Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines counseling with medications like methadone and Suboxone to treat opioid and alcohol addiction. MAT can be used during medical detox to manage withdrawal symptoms and during longer-term treatment to help you stay stable during rehab.
Changing Pathways is Beacon Health/Carelon’s MAT program for treating opioid addiction. It uses medication along with peer support, education, and quality management assistance.
Does Beacon Health Options Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Many insurance plans cover mental health as required by ACA but it’s still important to check your plan for specific coverage. Beacon Health/Carelon helps health insurance plans offer options for treating addiction and other mental health issues but it doesn’t determine coverage limits.
Mental health coverage allows you to get counseling for mental health disorders like anxiety and depression along with bipolar disorder and other diagnoses.
Underlying mental health concerns often accompany substance use disorders, so it’s important to address these co-occurring disorders along with addiction for you to be successful in your long term recovery.
How Long Will Beacon Health Options Cover Rehab?
Your specific insurance plan determines the length of rehab treatment, not Beacon Health/Carelon. Addiction treatment can be a long process and it’s essential to embrace the process and complete all the steps along the way. The length of your rehab depends on your individual needs.
Inpatient or residential treatment can range from one to three months. Outpatient programs are about 10 to 12 weeks but can be shorter or longer, depending on your needs.
Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be In Network?
Many insurance plans require you to use in-network providers to get coverage. If out-of-network providers are covered, you will pay a much higher cost in deductibles and copayments.
To get the most out of your insurance coverage for addiction treatment, it’s best to stay in-network if possible. Review your insurance plan to determine your exact coverage before using a non-network provider.
How to Verify Coverage With Beacon Health Options
You can verify your coverage by contacting your insurance company through its customer service phone number or online. When it comes to your mental health and drug rehab coverage, your insurance may have the information available or may direct you to call Beacon/Carelon.
If you have a specific treatment center in mind, you can ask representatives at the center if they accept your particular insurance plan. Insurance plans vary on the services they will cover so when asking a treatment center what insurance they accept make sure you use the exact plan name — not just the insurance company name or Beacon Health/Carelon.
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.
If you wish to connect with non-sponsor centers, you can browse top-rated listings, visit our homepage and browse by state, or visit SAMHSA.
