I checked myself in for alcoholism and opiate abuse. I was drinking so much I was falling and hurting myself and ruining my marriage and on a path to possibly loosing job and even land myself in jail. I was miserable and at rock bottom. Once there after the detox period i started attending group therapy sessions, individual therapy session’s sessions, and working with the techs to become involved in my recovery process. First 5 days i was detoxing and once that was over i got super involved in the program and day by day got better each day. I received excellent nursing and medical provider support. I had amazing group therapy sessions. I was fed delicious meals every day. I had a great case manager and had a primary therapist who was absolutely perfect. The staff was absolutely first class and my treatment started me on a successful path to recovery. This place literally changed my life. They took care of my every need physically, mentally, and emotionally. I highly recommend if you need help for addiction this is where you need to be.

This place has changed my life. I have been to rehabs before but I felt like this place is where I would get clean for the last time since i walked in the doors. The music assisted therapy was perfect for me and the staff is all amazing. The groups are really beneficial and really got down to the core of why i turned to drinking every time something upset me. I felt like they really listened to me and i felt heard and seen. I am excited to continue on with alumni and events and life long friendships.

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.

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!

Tree House Recovery PDX saved my life. I hit a new rock bottom during the holidays. I was reluctant to going to a typical, 30-day, institutional rehab center like I did over the summer because that didn't work. But then I saw that Tree House was a three month program with a focus in physical exercise, writing, and learning to work as a team. My expectations weren't met -- they were exceeded. I recently graduated on April 3rd and am a better man now than I was before I started using and drinking. I've learned how to be empathetic, hold myself and others accountable, find gratitude in my daily life, lean on my teammates during times of struggle, and how to celebrate little and big wins in my life with healthy pride.
The staff is amazing too. Rob, Nevin, Doug, Bryan and Kevin are all great men who are now role models in my life. They challenged me, listened to me, and gave me advice and suggestions I have taken to help me soar.
If you're struggling, you don't have to do it alone. I would highly recommend this program for any man who is having trouble with addiction and needs to turn his life around.
Thank you, Tree House.

My decision to attend treatment was one of the most important decisions of my life and I could not have made a better choice than Treehouse Recovery. This was my first time in treatment and I was terrified while researching places to go. From the very first phone call, the staff at Treehouse made me feel heard, supported, and helped to ease my mind that help was available and change was possible. I could tell from the initial conversations on the phone that was a place that truly cared for each and every client. That same empathetic and welcoming attitude was expressed and carried on at every other step of the process. Embarking on the treatment journey was a time in my life marked by fear and uncertainty but with Treehouse, I knew I had the best support possible and was certainly in great hands.
Before Treehouse, I was living a miserable and isolated life and desperately needed help to get back on track. Throughout the course of the program, I was able to find a strong sense of discipline, integrity, and perseverance and as a result, rebuild myself into the best version of my self that has ever existed. Treehouse’s wholistic approach to treatment empowers each client and arms them with the skills and tools needed to sustain a lasting recovery.
If you are ready to work hard and make some lasting changes to better your life, Treehouse is the best possible choice you can make.

Recovery is rarely a straight path. For me, it was marked by multiple attempts—each one beginning with hope and ending in frustration. I wanted sobriety, but wanting it and sustaining it were two very different things. Each setback carried shame, doubt, and the quiet fear that maybe lasting change just wasn’t meant for me.
Six years ago, everything shifted—but not for me at first. It was my husband whose life was saved by Treehouse. At a time when things felt beyond repair, they stepped in and gave him not just support, but a real chance at living again. Watching his transformation planted a seed in me, even if I wasn’t ready to fully act on it yet.
When I finally completed my own inpatient program, I was fragile but hopeful. Through my husband Treehouse met me right where I was offering suggestions for a straight transition into sober living for women, giving me a safe and structured environment where I could begin to rebuild. For a full year, I worked on myself in ways I never had before. During that time, Treehouse didn’t just check in—they actively supported my growth through their family program facilitating weekly therapy sessions that helped me understand myself, my patterns, and my path forward.
Their presence didn’t end there. Years later, Treehouse was still standing beside our family during one of the most challenging chapters of our lives—our court-mandated reunification. They ensured our son had access to therapy, advocating for healing not just individually, but as a family. Their continued support reminded us that recovery is not a moment in time—it’s an ongoing journey, and no one should have to walk it alone.
Today, I can say with certainty that Treehouse has been an integral part of our success. They didn’t just help us get sober—they helped us build a life beyond what we ever thought possible. A life grounded in stability, growth, and connection.
Some organizations provide services. Treehouse became something much more. They became our support system, our foundation, and ultimately, our family.

The place is great but they don't do mat. I would have stayed long term but I've been on subs for 10+ years. When struggling to get sober one should not have to struggle with medication in order to receive treatment. This is my opinion. Other than that it's a great facility.

Spring Hill has been a life changing experience for me. The staff were kind, caring and professional.

The best decision I ever made, this wasn't my first treatment center but definitely the last. I spent 6 months here and changed my life forever. The program and top notch AA, the staff is unforgettable. This place can change your life too but remember the work is personal. They give you the tools and teach you how to use them its up to you after that. The program invites you to change you just have to be willing. If you had a bad experience maybe you were looking for an exertional change, this is an inside job at the end of the day. Good luck if you in need of help, this is the first step. Highly recommended.

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.

With any institution trying to implement a broad program for individuals, there are bound to be issues. With that being said, my time at HBF Plymouth was invaluable. I especially want to mention Mary the psychologist & counselors Sara and Cozi on the Pioneer Unit. Advocacy is a huge part of individual recovery, and I was especially encouraged by these three to ask for what I need when I need it. It works if you work it!

I had an out patient procedure done and everyone was wonderful! Even my anesthesiologist was great! He talked to me prior to my procedure to go over what he was going to use and what he might need to do if necessary. I was treated well & was kept long enough after my procedure to be fully out of the anesthesia.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gallus Detox and their IOP program. From my first day in the virtual program, I felt supported, respected, and truly cared for. The entire team creates a safe, welcoming environment where healing and growth feel possible. Their program is incredibly well-structured, educational, and compassionate, helping people not only through detox but also through the deeper emotional and mental aspects of recovery.
A very special thank you to Allison Johnson, who is truly a top-notch therapist. Allison was caring, knowledgeable, patient, and completely free from judgment. She has an amazing ability to make people feel heard and understood while also providing meaningful education, guidance, and support. Her compassion and professionalism made such a difference in my experience, and I genuinely felt empowered after working with her.
If you or someone you love is looking for a place that genuinely cares about recovery and treats people with dignity and compassion, I highly recommend Gallus Detox and their IOP program. They are changing lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
