Beacon Health Options is now Carelon Behavioral Health. They offer behavioral health services for insurance plans and employers along with government agencies and medical providers. They don’t run insurance plans themselves.
You might see Carelon listed as your provider for mental health and addiction treatment services. They also offer specialty care services and crisis support along with a wellbeing program and support for military members and veterans.
The company offers insurance plans access to over 115,000 medical providers and they serve over 61 million members across all 50 states.
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.
If you’re comparing treatment centers or reviewing which programs fall under your plan’s behavioral health benefits, you can also learn more about rehab options to explore providers that match your coverage needs.

I went to Boca for detox and a short rehab stay. I can’t say enough about incredibly helpful and caring the staff was. Special shoutout to Mikaela, one of the therapists there and all of the techs and nurses. They guided and helped me along my journey to recovery.

I have never been in any treatment facility for my addiction and I am so grateful that I was sent to Boca. I was scared and nervous about being away from home but I was immediately put at ease by the staff. I had no clothes, Bridget came to my rescue with clothes. Sissy, the housekeep, loved on me like a mother with everything I needed to build my self esteem. Ashley, my Therapist, gave me so many tools to not pick up again and assisted me with many coping skills. Brianna, the case manager, assisted me with all things FMLA and pay related with was great because I didn’t know where to start. The chefs, Joseph and Tyron fed me amazing meals to regain my strength and stay healthy. Kevin, the alumni coordinator, has given me his direct contact in case I need anything sobriety related. Overall this has been a life changing experience for me and I am grateful to have had this opportunity and I know that I have truly made life long friendships at Boca.

If I could give more than five stars, I would.
My experience with Boca Recovery was incredibly meaningful, but the person who truly changed my life was Nikki. From the very first moment we spoke, she made me feel seen, safe, and understood in a way I didn’t even realize I needed. She wasn’t just doing her job—she was genuinely invested in my well-being and my future.
Nikki supported me through every single step of the process, from start to finish, and even long after my time in the program. She never disappeared, never stopped checking in, never stopped reminding me that I was capable of rebuilding my life. That level of care is so rare, and I don’t take it for granted for one second.
The truth is, I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for her. She believed in me on days I couldn’t believe in myself. She showed up with compassion, patience, honesty, and a kind of strength that helped me find my own. Because of Nikki, I didn’t just recover—I grew, healed, and found a future I didn’t think I deserved.
If you’re looking for someone who will champion you, guide you, and truly care, Nikki is that person. I am forever grateful for her, and for the way she changed my life. She will always be a part of my story, and I cannot thank her enough.

I went to BRC thinking that I wasn't like the other patients there. That drugs and alcohol weren't really the issues I struggled with. Within two days into my recovery I began to let my guard down and accept not only skills they offer but accept the situation I'm in. I left there learning several things including how to deal with addiction, mindfulness, surrender, and gratitude. Thank you BRC for swiftly helping me find myself and providing me with the necessary tools for the ever-long journey ahead. A+ staff

Oh man, I can not thank this place enough for literally helping me when I thought I had no where to turn. Every single staff member from housekeeping to the directors were unbelievably kind and caring for each and every client and our different needs. Every single staff member takes the time to always check in with you, even if you're having a down day and just need to rest your mind and body. The everyday groups became something I looked forward to going to. I loved hearing how there really are people JUST LIKE ME! I had some of the best laughs and made great memories here. I made friends for life. I learned so much about myself that I didnt even know was there. I truly love every single human at Boca and I can't ever thank them enough!

I dragged what was left of me into Boca 3/4 of the way dead and I had completely given up on life. I've seen some very ugly things in my life and took some very heavy losses that year and decided I was going to crawl in a bottle and stay there until I was dead. It seems God and Boca had different ideas and if it wasn't for either one of them I wouldn't be here today writing this review the staff in Boca showed me love kindness and mercy when I needed it . It's not all about the clinical side of recovery there. The staff work through the heart I could actually see it in their eyes. And let me tell you I did not show them the same love kindness and mercy when I was there but they shouldered it anyway and took good care me I have nothing but love for the staff at Boca welll accept one guy there's always that one guy 😎
Going to Mountainside in Huntington was a life changing experience. I could not recommend it more!

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!

My experience with Mountainside has been nothing but positive. Jessica Leone has been key in my recovery. She consistently has a positive attitude, provides great insights and experiences. Jessica listens well and challenges me. She is open whenever needed and feels like one of my biggest supporters. I appreciate all that she does.
What can I say? My stay at Gratitude Lodge was beyond my expectations. This was my first exposure to treatment so I was nervous; nonetheless, I was treated with the utmost respect and compassion. ❤️
From the start, the house was definitely a second home for me having traveled from the Midwest. I was warmly received on the first night and settled in comfortably.
So many staff members impacted my experience...from the start, Ryan, meeting my at the airport and providing sound advice for tlnext steps in my recovery, Peter for his fantastic music therapy sessions, James for his sincere commitment to my casework, Mario always for his listening skills, Trinity, Justin, Andrew...and everyone beyond.

Best experience of my sober life. I want to personally thank, Trinity, Justin, Mario, Ryan, Eli, Megan, Andrew, Lee, Kyle, James and Peter for everything and that they do. The best staff at any program I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to a bit over my fair share). They actually care, they love you and they truly want to see you succeed. A special shout out to James, for always and I mean ALWAYS being in my corner. A shoutout to Trinity for being my confidant when I felt alone in the beginning. To Peter, who listened to all my bullshit with a smile on his face and some music in the background. The best place to get sober and the best people to ever be around. Truly a sober environment, where you learn how to be sober. Not just get sober but BE sober. I’ll forever remember my time here with love, respect and of course plenty of GRATITUDE!!!!!!!

I had such a great experience here. I've been to alot of rehabs and I cant say the same for most of those. I didn't know if I wanted to come in or even be sober and James and Megan stayed out front with me for a long while, patiently helping me to make the right decision to come in and I am so glad I did. They have such a great team of people and I couldn't thank you guys enough. Shout out to James for always staying late and convincing me to not AMA lol i even decides to stay longer, you can tell he really pours his heart into his job and wants to help. Same goes for Megan and Ryan you guys are really the best.
This place gave me my life back! If you are ready to change & have a new chance at life this is the place to come.

I want to start by saying to ignore any negative review on this place. I personally went to Rise at Mayberry and cannot say enough of amazing things. I’ve been to many different facilities over the last decade and this one has become family. I get emotional and want to cry with gratitude when I think about how the staff/clients have been there for me during the most difficult moments of my life. Everyone turned their back on me outside of here while they didn’t judge me and gave me a chance. Ron reminds me of my papa being the kindest man ever. He cares deeply about each client, is passionate, patient, generous, the list goes on. Lauren has gone above and beyond for me with all my legal issues making sure everything is done the way it needs to be. She listens without judgment and is always available to help me. Allison was so helpful getting me into this place and throughly explained all the services that’s offered here. She’s relatable and kind. Dr. Neesha is beautiful inside and out, intelligent, and a strong woman of faith. She’s so insightful and working with her as a therapist has been my honor. Not to mention the support staff are incredible. Josh K has also made himself always available to the clients and he’s helped me so much from his own personal experiences dealing with dependency court/CPS. Chris and Tim are also such an honor to know. Tim, with all his travel stories and passion for AA. Chris, prioritizing the physical fitness in sobriety. All their stories on how they ended up here are inspirational. God brought me here unexpectedly and it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. I live in Orange County which has a lot of recovery and places to get sober, but i couldn’t be more blessed that I landed here. I’ve been here without my young children for a couple months now and I wouldn’t have been able to get through this difficult time without everyone here. I’ll never forget what’s been done for me ❤️ addiction is a lonely disease, allow them to help guide you to a solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Calls to any general helpline will be answered or returned by a paid advertiser.
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.
