Does Health Net Cover Addiction Treatment?
In 2010 the Affordable Care Act was passed. Under this law most insurance plans were required to cover alcohol and substance use disorder treatment and mental health care. It is important for individuals to understand their benefits plan and verify coverage before starting any type of treatment.
Insurance plans generally require that any treatment be deemed medically necessary for benefits coverage. In order to determine medical necessity you should contact your primary care provider for assessment and work closely with them to develop a treatment plan to meet your unique recovery needs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Life-Changing Experience at Asana Recovery
My journey with Asana Recovery has been nothing short of transformational. Walking through their doors, I wasn’t just another patient entering a treatment center—I was a person in need of compassion, structure, and genuine guidance. From the very beginning, the team at Asana made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way that very few treatment centers truly deliver.
After just two months in recovery, I was given the incredible opportunity to become a house manager, which was a breathtaking experience. Not only did it deepen my recovery, but it allowed me to support others walking the same path. That chance to step into responsibility and service was life-changing, and it’s something I will always carry with me.
What sets Asana apart is the people. Jonathan and Linda, in particular, are shining examples of what makes this place extraordinary. Jonathan’s ability to connect with individuals on a deeply human level created a sense of trust that allowed me to open up and truly engage in the process. His wisdom, steadiness, and encouragement gave me tools that I will carry for the rest of my life. Linda’s presence is like a beacon—warm, nurturing, and absolutely unshakable. Her kindness and dedication went far beyond a “job”; it was clear she cares about every single person who comes through Asana’s program as if they were family.
And it isn’t just them—the entire Asana team embodies that same commitment. Whether it was the counselors guiding me through difficult conversations, the medical staff ensuring I was safe and cared for, or the support staff who brought positivity into every interaction, each person played an important role in making recovery feel possible. They created an environment that blended professionalism with heart, where structure and accountability were balanced with compassion and encouragement.
I’ve been to other facilities and spoken with countless people who have gone through recovery in different settings, and I can say without hesitation that Asana stands in a class of its own. Their approach is holistic, their community is genuine, and their impact is lasting.
To anyone considering Asana Recovery—whether for yourself or a loved one—know this: you will not just find treatment here; you will find hope, healing, and a family that will walk alongside you every step of the way. I am deeply grateful to Jonathan, Linda, and the entire Asana Recovery team for helping me reclaim my life.

When it came to the realization I needed help to overcome my addiction, I ended up choosing to go to Sobermans. I couldn't have been more grateful for this choice and the experience. I can't say enough about the accommodations, setting, and food. However those things mean nothing without the proper staff. The best thing about Sobermans is their people. The care I received from each and every member of staff there was overwhelming. I've since returned for some aftercare and Alumni events, and upon my return, it feels like home. I would highly recommend Sobermans for any man that needs help with addiction or getting your mind cleared. I promise, if you put in the effort that their staff does, you will leave different person!
The program here is like no other. The staff is dedicated to every client. Thank you for saving my life.

Elevate helped save my son's life! One year ago, I was on a desperate search for a place that would help my son quit drinking. I went online and was so overwhelmed with all the choices! I called a couple places and was not impressed with what they offered.
I prayed to God He would lead me to the right place, and He did! The 3rd place I called, this nice guy named Josh answered, and right away, we connected. I asked questions, he asked questions. What I loved about what he said, was that they did not rely on prescribing a bunch of meds to "fix" my son, but offered an in depth program that included exercise as part of the journey to recovery, and to ultimately learn to not rely on anything to self medicate ever again.
Ding! I knew he would love something like this, and the more Josh talked, the more I wanted to get my son on a plane! Of course, the final decision was up to him, and at that point, he was ready for a major change, and trusted my judgement. Thank God!
Within days, my son was up north and that was the beginning of his new life because today marks his ONE YEAR from not having a drop of alcohol! In fact, he liked Elevate so much, he stayed up there, trained heavily for 3 months, and is now an employee who helps counsel new clients. He earned Employee of the Month last month and I couldn't be more proud of the hard work he did and does for himself.
I can't thank Elevate enough for the part they played in his recovery. It was divine intervention and I'm so grateful he chose himself and continues to live out his purpose. Thank you to the team at Elevate!
Highly recommend this company! This is a great program for either first timers or if you are looking for something different to try in your recovery journey. The staff are supportive of your individualized needs and you get ample attention as opposed to fading into the background. Here you can build strong and trusting relationships with both staff and others seeking treatment. The IOP also helps you to continue building upon a foundation of mental and physical health as you move towards a more positive future. This is a review of them coming from the heart!

I was a patient at DFC rehab facility and recently graduated. I can say hands down they saved my life . Not only did they teach me about alcoholism and what it means to be in recovery . i developed long time friendships that i know will help me to stay sober . i also loved how caring the staff where. I wasn't the easiest patient at first but with their love and support i was able to not only become a recovering alcoholic but i have become a whole new person . I would highly recommend going here if you or a family member is still struggling

This was my second tine in DFC outpatient treatment, the reason I chose DFC was their teaching, there, client, and the friendly environment. I have been to many treatment centers in my past when I knew in my heart I was serious about recovering from drugs and alcohol. There was no other place that I wanted to go other than Design For Change. They give group and individual counseling tailored for the individual which helped me tremendously. They help me find out what I want and how to go about getting it in the group setting they don’t allow disturbances. They make sure everyone is focused. An attentive, which makes it easy to learn. DFC, my wife says thank you for giving her her husband back.
Did the full program, was the best decision I made in my life to get sober here. The staff were amazing and the friends and connections I made here have impacted my recovery so much. I’m really thankful for the support and the community at elevate.

Today 8/1/2025 marks one year of sobriety. One year ago today I entered Elevate in Santa Cruz to start my detox from alcohol. A week later I relocated to the South Lake Tahoe facility. I had been drinking alcohol 45 plus years. I spent 30 days in Tahoe learning why and why I shouldn’t stay on my destructive path. Thank you to all that helped me. “OPP”
I had the most amazing experience of my life! WWR saved my life in many ways. I tackled multiple addictions and took advantage of every service they offer (which there are many!). The counselors and recovery advocates are incredible. While I now have the tools to go back to the real world, I will miss this place in my soul. I would recommend WWR to anyone needing to face addiction or any other mental challenge.

Windmill is set amongst a beautiful scenery of trees and deers, that enables peace of mind and a healing quietness for the spirit. This serene atmosphere grows and shines in the people living there and the ones there providing us support through their smiles and patient caring for each other. I was able to learn again what it felt like to be human, sane, and a part of something. Fellowship being the heart of the strength built, I walked away with a community that stands as an army ready to fight together. You will be empowered. It works if you work it. As the windmill keeps turning, so shall we!

To say I can't give enough stars for Windmill Wellness Ranch would be a true understatement. This place saved my life brought me back my happiness and gave me the tools for a beautiful future. The staff at Windmill have real life experience and top-notch education to help the struggling no matter what you are struggling with. They really pay attention to you and your situation. They do an excellent job placing you, from your roommates,to your process group, your therapist and recovery coach. That being said if you feel it is not working they will work with you to make you feel comfortable. I've never felt like I've truly fit in in my whole life. I've always felt like the oddball out.Here I found my tribe and We are doing this new happy exciting life sober!!!
I completed my time In May 2025 and graduated in June 2025. During my time at California Prime Recovery I learned a great deal about myself. The staff, facilitators, there, counselors were all on point to support, assist, plan, exceptional guidance to recovery and coping strategies based on your individual needs to overcome any addiction, substance issue or mental health. The overall staff have great pride and are really genuine in everything they do. I had no complaints only compliments. I enjoyed my time here at California Prime Recovery and now regularly attend Alumni meetings with an awesome Coordinator Kori Crabb. I live in Texas and I miss the entire staff at. California Prime Recovery and my Detox family at Gratitude Lodge for assisting me in my substance recovery. I would highly recommend California Prime Recovery and Gratitude Lodge as they both are truly exceptional staff and programs to get you the best service possible.

This place goes above and beyond for its clients. Let’s just say I’ve been there more than once on my road to recovery. The staff have become my second family. They have an alumni person that’s reaches out to clients to follow up after treatment and I call her my guardian angel. This place saved my life more than once and I believe it could do the same for you or your loved one. Highly recommend!

My experience at Summer House was incredible! The staff were so kind and attentive — they really made me feel cared for from the moment I arrived. The beds… oh my gosh, like sleeping on clouds! And the food? Wow. It honestly felt like eating at a restaurant every day, from breakfast to dinner.
The nurses truly care about your health, and the therapists put so much heart into helping you heal mentally and emotionally. I’ve never felt so safe or supported in any detox before.
I would recommend Summer House to anyone who needs help. Thank you, Summer House — you truly saved my life and helped me start fresh on my journey to recovery.
Celebrities in recovery lol love this place so much. They helped me a lot with getting going in the right direction and what to pursue out of life. I was able to surrender my past and move on from my old ways through their programming.

Scottsdale Recovery has changed my life. If you or someone you know needs detox and/or treatment. This is the place. The staff is strategically handpicked by professionals; peers who have been through addiction and have come out the other end. The resources and services they provide are phenomenal, I would highly recommend SRC a million times over.
From day 1 to graduation, they guided me through, to a complete life changing transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Health Net Plans?
Health Net offers multiple types of insurance in California. They also offer employer plans in Oregon. Because plans differ greatly from one to another, it is important to understand your benefits summary and choose a plan that suits your needs.
Individual and family plans are available on the California insurance marketplace, Covered California. There are plans available for a variety of income levels. You’ll find either health maintenance organization (HMO) or preferred provider organization (PPO) plans. An HMO is less expensive monthly but requires you to use in network providers and have a primary doctor that gives you referrals to specialists. A PPO is more expensive but doesn’t require referrals and has out of network care available — although you’ll pay far more out of pocket.
Wellcare by HealthNet offers individuals Medicare Advantage plans. These plans include the same benefits as Original Medicare and they will usually have a prescription benefit. Advantage plans may also offer vision and dental coverage as well as free fitness memberships and other perks. The HealthNet Advantage plan has added benefits such as a 24 hour nurse phone line where members can receive medical advice and have their questions answered by qualified medical professionals.
With Original Medicare you can get care at any participating Medicare provider or Medicare participating facility in the United States. With Medicare Advantage you may be required to see providers or seek care with in network providers only unless it’s an emergency. You may also need referrals for specialist care and preauthorization for certain kinds of treatment.
HealthNet offers low or no cost insurance coverage for eligible people in California under the Medi Cal program. You may qualify for Medi Cal based on your income or age as well as disabilities or pregnancy or being a caregiver. Individuals do not have to be documented residents to qualify. Plans and benefits differ but most include medical and dental as well as vision coverage. Enrollment can be done in a number of ways: in person at local DHCS offices or on the state website CoveredCa.com. You can also apply by phone or by mailing in an enrollment form.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Health Net Cover?
Most Health Net Plans cover inpatient addiction treatment but it is important to verify coverage before beginning treatment. In most cases a determination of medical necessity is required for these services to be covered.
Individuals should work with their primary care providers to create a treatment plan. One way to determine the appropriate course of treatment is to have an American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) assessment completed. Factors such as a patient’s needs and obstacles and liabilities along with strengths and assets and support structure are considered when developing an appropriate treatment plan.
For those who meet the criteria for inpatient alcohol and substance use disorder treatment the first step in their recovery journey may be medical detox.
Medical detox can take place in an inpatient hospital or residential treatment facility. This can be especially critical for those with severe addiction especially for alcohol or opiates. Medical detox is helpful for barbiturates and certain stimulants as well. Under 24/7 medical supervision individuals receive FDA approved medications and other treatment to help ease the symptoms of withdrawal and stabilize body functions to help normalize brain chemistry. These medications could include naltrexone and methadone as well as buprenorphine and acamprosate or disulfiram. On average, medical detox lasts between 5 and 14 days but for some it may take weeks. After completing medical detox, most individuals then go to residential or inpatient rehab.
Inpatient or residential rehab involves 24/7 structured care for those in the earliest stages of recovery. Treatment plans often include individual and group therapy using a variety of modalities such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing as well as Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR).
You may also receive holistic treatments including meditation and yoga along with nutritional counseling. Some programs offer experiential therapy and recreational therapy which may include art and music therapy and animal therapy as well as exercise. Most programs last anywhere from 30 to 90 days — and 90 day treatment programs have the highest success rates.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Health Net Cover?
Health Net covers outpatient rehab when medically necessary. It is important to understand your plan benefits before starting any programs to ensure coverage.
Outpatient treatment varies from intensive and highly structured programs to general outpatient treatment.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are best for people who are at the beginning of their recovery journey. Individuals in these programs may or may not have participated in inpatient treatment. One advantage to a PHP is that you get to go home each night.
However, there is still a significant time commitment, on average 20 hours per week of programming. Another advantage to PHP is that it offers participants consistent access to peer and recovery support, including individual and group counseling, with the end goal of relapse prevention.
A PHP is not for everyone and it is critical that you work with your primary care provider to assess which options are best for your unique circumstances.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) continues to offer highly structured treatment for those with alcohol and substance use disorder who do not require medical detox and have mild to moderate addiction or have finished a more intensive program.
You participate in IOP for an average of 9 to 12 hours per week with most programs lasting 90 days. Group therapy is an integral part of IOP with the goal of preventing relapse through behavioral change and the development of positive coping strategies along with repairing and building of support systems and addressing psychosocial needs such as employment and housing issues.
IOPs also include individual therapy. You work with counselors and addiction specialists to address your emotional and psychological needs and learn to develop healthy coping mechanisms to aid in your recovery. Counselors and addiction specialists use a variety of approaches to meet their clients’ unique needs. This includes but is not limited to the use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) as well as motivational interviewing and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Aftercare is the support you receive after you finish formal treatment. Recognizing that relapse prevention and recovery is a lifelong process these programs provide continued resources for those with alcohol and substance use disorder. This may include continued individual and group therapy along with peer support and education. You may also get resources that help with employment and housing as well as other psychosocial needs.
Does Health Net Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) may be a covered service with HealthNet. A determination of medical necessity is often required so it is important to understand your insurance requirements before starting treatment.
MAT has been proven to decrease relapse and lessen withdrawal symptoms and cravings while stabilizing brain chemistry and body functions. This reduces the risk of drug overdose death and the risk of infectious disease transmission such as hepatitis and HIV/AIDS.
MAT uses FDA approved medications such as methadone and suboxone along with buprenorphine and naltrexone prescribed by qualified medical professionals to help in the early stages of detox and recovery. However, for some, medication assisted treatment can be used for weeks or months or even years, depending on each person’s unique recovery needs.
Does Health Net Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Under the ACA mental healthcare is considered an essential health benefit and should be covered by most Health Net plans. However, this can depend on the type of plan and should be verified before starting any treatment program to ensure coverage.
For many with addiction there is also a co occuring mental health condition such as depression or anxiety. You might also have PTSD or bi-polar disorder alongside addiction. Comprehensive treatment recognizes that successful recovery not only means sobriety but that underlying conditions are also addressed. For individuals with co occurring conditions integrated care is essential to address mental health and substance use disorder at the same time.
Mental health care can include both inpatient and outpatient care which may include therapy and medication management along with other evidence based practices.
How Long Will Health Net Cover Rehab?
The amount of time Health Net will cover rehab depends on a number of factors. This includes determination of medical necessity and proper assessment and treatment plan development. This is why it is crucial that you work with your primary care provider to assess your recovery needs. One way to do this is to complete the ASAM assessment which helps to determine the level of care that is appropriate.
Most residential treatment programs last anywhere from 30 to 90 days and evidence shows the best outcomes with 90 day programming. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are similar to residential treatment programs in that most last 90 days or more. It is critical to remember that every person has unique needs and that recovery must truly be worked one day at a time.
Can I Travel Out of State For Treatment With Health Net?
Because Health Net offers many plan options it is important to understand what type of plan you have.
In some cases where the plan is an individual or family PPO, out of network coverage is allowed within the state of California only. For those with a Medicare Advantage HMO or PPO the rules can be different. HMOs typically do not allow out of network coverage. For Medi Cal members there is no out of state coverage. This could be waived during an emergency but this must be verified with each plan.
The best course of action would be to verify coverage with your benefit plan before obtaining any care out of state. You can maximize your insurance benefits and save money by choosing an in network provider which will likely be in California.
How to Verify Coverage With Health Net
There are a number of ways to verify coverage with Health Net. One way to do this is by calling the customer service center; most times this number is located on the back of your ID card. Health Net also has an online site where you can verify benefits and find a provider along with health related education.
In some cases, the treatment center or healthcare facility can help verify benefits coverage. When doing this it is important to have all of the plan information including the plan name as well as your ID number and group information in order to get the correct information.
