Independence Health Group is a licensee of Blue Cross Blue Shield. As a result, it’s better known as Independence Blue Cross. The company has operated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for over 85 years and has almost three million members. You may have Independence Blue Cross coverage through your employer, through the insurance Marketplace, or through a Medicare Advantage plan.
Does Independence Blue Cross Cover Rehab Treatment?
If you struggle with alcohol or substance misuse, getting treatment is the best way to break free. Will your insurance plan help you cover the cost?
In many cases, it will. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires all long term individual and small group plans to cover specific essential health benefits, which include mental health and addiction treatment. That includes any insurance plans related to government programs like Medicaid or Medicare, any plan available on the state Marketplace, and plans offered by employers with 50 or fewer employees.
Large group plans, like those offered by employers with over 51 employees, have the option to cover those benefits as well, but it’s not required.
It’s important to know the details of your specific plan before you commit to a treatment program. You can contact Independence Health directly to find out what your coverage specifics are and to get a list of substance use providers that are in the plan’s network.
If your plan covers substance use treatment, it will focus on the types of treatment your doctor recommends for your situation. There are many types of treatment including medical detox, residential rehab, and outpatient treatment. You may also be referred to medication assisted treatment if you struggle with alcohol or opioid misuse.

I came to Boca Recovery for substance abuse treatment. I was sick and hopeless. They assisted me with my sickness and gave me a reason to have hope. There technicians and therapists were all about my success. I truly can't be more thankful for the path they set me on. The facility and staff are top notch. No lie. It's like the Cadillac of treatment facilities. Not just because of the lavish amenities but also because of the top notch staff. If you choose recovery pick them. God Bless you Boca!

i only did detox at Boca but my experience there was amazing. I'm type1 diabetic and the nurses and all the staff made sure I was taking care of. The chief even went out of his way to bring me a drink they didn't have just cause he over heard me saying how bad I have been craving it. Boca recovery is a great place for help when needed. I loved every moment of it!!

If I had to do it again I would go back here, the staff was amazing. They understand and do their best to keep you comfortable. Food is great and they do an awesome job helping you find your ideal after care program. I’ve never been so optimistic in my recovery.
The staff, facilities, food, counselors, nurses, housekeeping-literally every part of what I experienced during my stay at BRC exceeded expectations. I needed help and was willing to receive it and accept where I was at in life at that time. Will, Nikki and the multiple techs went above and beyond in their duties and I will forever be grateful to them for the care and compassion they gave me. I highly recommend BRC & I try to attend the weekly alumni zoom meeting have gone in person to speak as well and share my experience, strength and hope. I get checked in on regularly and it is reassuring to know that it isn’t simply a business-there are people who truly care. Thank you!

Amazing staff and facilities, I went in as a hot mess with mental and addiction issues, and through their assistance, was able to kick my addiction and improve my mental health, while interacting with other people who had similar issues. I learned so much and became passionate about the recovery process, that they’ve inspired me to assist other people in their own recovery journey.

This place literally saved my life I mean literally saved my freaking life the staff was absolutely amazing they are absolutely incredible they are so understanding and they understand exactly what you were going through this place is fantastic if you really want to get clean go here it'll be the best decision you ever made
I’m sharing my experience about someone close to me who completed Tree House Recovery’s five-month program in Costa Mesa through the partial hospitalization track.
From the start, Adam and Matt showed up with care, heart, and a steady light. My experience with the team was a blessing. The way they came together to support my friend—even at the very beginning—held nothing short of compassion and love. It was truly something special.
Tree House is a brotherhood. It goes deep and focuses on giving a real experience - not a curated, perfect, or cookie-cutter one. It gives the people who go through it the strength to stand up and get through real life when they leave. It highlights your strength, gives you the structure to build it into who you are, and keeps reminding you of it. They provide tools, support, and, beyond that, an environment where learning happens, beliefs are tested and strengthened, and new identities are allowed take root.
It's physiology and psychology, forged together.
And if you’re asking the question, “Does it last?”; In my experience, it grows. It takes the reins and leads. Even as someone standing on the sidelines, I haven’t just learned from this journey—I’ve been inspired by the person who walked it. This program isn’t a finish line; it’s a whole new game, a wider foundation—something that keeps inviting you to become more of who you are. And it is literally a life-saver.
I’m grateful for Tree House Recovery—and especially for Adam and Matt—for showing up and lighting the way. If you’re ready to believe that change is worth it, take the first step. They’ll have your back for the rest.

Treehouse Recovery and the staff members are all really great people that care about your sobriety as much as they care about their own and take the role of guiding you into the right direction very seriously. Being apart of this program as changed my life for the better and I found not only a sense of happiness I have never felt before but I also found a sense of purpose and a strong brotherhood within this community of guys I went through this experience with. My outlook on life has completely changed for the better and I open my eyes in the morning thanking God I have another day to be the best person I could be. I am able to face challenges head on and be able to tackle them down without the thought of escaping reality and picking up that bottle. This experience I went through with the people I could now call lifelong friends with has been one of the best chapters of my journey I've been through so far. The good, the bad, the ugly; it was all worth wild. Thank you Justin, Vechi, Matt and everyone involved that saved my life! This book isn’t over yet. Let’s see where this new version of myself takes me.

I highly recommend the TREEHOUSE RECOVERY Program in Costa Mesa. Their comprehensive approach to drug addiction treatment is commendable. The program addresses the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual components of your loved one, thereby focusing on the underlying causes of the addiction, rather than solely on ending the substance use. I believe this approach significantly reduces the risk of relapse. The male-only environment is a key factor in fostering focus and promoting successful outcomes.
My son successfully completed the five-month program and graduated. We are thrilled with the results! His physical and spiritual well-being have been significantly restored. Prior to his enrollment at Treehouse of Costa Mesa, I feared that I would lose him forever. He was at “the bottom” and was ready.
The program Is demanding and emphasizes accountability.
The parents, spouses, or family members have an optional video group meeting with other family members every week that helps immensely.
My son is 9+ months clean, and counting. He has a job and is on his feet again. He says that he’s a better man than he has ever been. I honestly don’t believe a different drug treatment program would have been as successful as the Treehouse Recovery Program for addiction.

I had no idea what was going to become of me when I was sent to Immersion’s PHP program from a different residential treatment center. I knew I was an alcoholic, but that’s pretty much it. It has been a month since I finished my program there, and looking back, I can say they saved my life. The entire staff legitimately cares. From the therapists, to the 12-step contacts, to the techs, they made me feel welcome and heard at all times. I have never been happier, healthier, and more determined to continue on this recovery journey. Immersion deserves a lot of credit for where I am in life.

Absolutely beautiful facility with a kind and caring staff. I would highly recommend if you are in need of addiction recovery support.
This place is ok. You have to realize this is Florida, so you are going to get cockroaches. Just ask staff for a fogger they are happy to get you one. I have had no problems with staff. Long days keeping you busy. Van rides get tiring. We do outings Everglades on a airboat was amazing all the Alligators was just coll. The best thing about this place is the LIV Program. Troy Adam Ericka, Daniel. Are the best we do all sorts of outings will miss them as going home soon. 🩷🐊

I just left allure and it checking myself in and staying there to complete the residential after detoxing was the best decision I’ve made in decades. The clinical director Brad and the operations director Joey have an amazing staff around them. Most are in recovery and they UNDERSTOOD me. Going to treatment can be nerve wracking and their team made sure I was comfortable and welcomed. I spent over 3 weeks there and not once did I feel out of place or unsafe. They helped me work through all of the problems i had in my life when I admitted myself in the wake of my active addiction and I left with a purpose and the guidance and aftercare I needed to remain sober in the future. There’s no magic pill or wand to cure sobriety but they genuinely care and motivate you to put in the work and learn the tools to stay clean. If you’re tired of the consequences and pain/suffering from active addiction then find a way to get into allure right now. They’ll save your life and help you build a new one.

P.S. HUGE shoutout to all the tech and therapists at the center, you guys make that place. All the nurses and the medical provider, Chris, Joey, Brad, Phillip, Janelle, Beth, Michael, Erica, John, Sam, Anthony, Tim, Richard, Barbara, Larry, Michelle, and every other tech was amazing. Sorry if I didn’t list you but all yall rock. I’m sober bc of you
After years of battling alcoholism, I finally surrendered and flew out to LA from St. Louis, MO to get into recovery. I entered the detox facility on 5/21/2025, graduated to the sober living facility on 6/22/2025 and graduated the IBH program today on 9/18/2025. I had been wanting to live a sober life for years, but I never had the strength to do it by myself. IBH gave me that strength. I learned a lot about my disease here, a lot about what makes me “me,” and I learned how to not only live sober, but also live happy. They say the disease of addiction is a life or death situation. This program helped me save my own life. The friends I’ve made along the way, the community I was immersed in, and how welcoming the staff made me feel has helped me build a strong, healthy foundation for life long sobriety. I’m 120 days sober, and I’m happy to say that I’m part of the IBH family.

Yes there was ups and downs the staff needs to work on communication but we all need to work on this. But the group of people and helping me begin this wonderful journey to the rest of my life has been amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Plans Does Independence Blue Cross Offer?
Independence Health offers lots of types of plans, including individual and family plans in the Marketplace and Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription plans. They also have insurance plans that employers can offer to their workers. If you qualify for Medicaid, you might have Independence Health coverage through Keystone First.
Blue Cross Blue Shield is known for having a strong provider network, and Independence Health has contracts with more than 49,000 providers and 180 hospitals. It’s important to understand if you have to use doctors in the network. Some plans have out of network coverage, but many don’t. Even if you can use an out of network provider it will be more expensive, so keep that in mind.
Many Independence Health insurance plans will have additional benefits. Keep an eye out for wellness programs like fitness classes and online programs. You may also have tools available in your online account that will help you understand out of pocket costs such as deductibles and copayments when you get care. Knowing your expected costs can help you feel comfortable going to rehab and breaking free from addiction once and for all.
Does Independence Blue Cross Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Most Independence Blue Cross plans cover mental healthcare due to the requirements of the ACA, which considers mental health and substance use disorder services to be essential health benefits. However there are exceptions to the law and the extent of coverage varies based on the plan, so you need to check your plan’s coverage details.
If you have a co occurring mental health diagnosis alongside addiction your Independence Blue Cross plan may have coverage that provides integrated care for both diagnoses.
Independence Blue Cross has a special Behavioral Health team you can contact to find out more about the services covered by your plan. You can call (800) 688 1911 to reach the team.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Independence Blue Cross Cover?
Independence Blue Cross partners with Shatterproof which is an independent national non profit substance use disorder advocacy organization. They have a finder tool that covers 14 states to help you find an appropriate treatment center that accepts Independence Blue Cross.
However insurance coverage focuses on care that is considered medically necessary so it’s important to work with your doctor to get a detailed treatment plan from your doctor. This allows you to find out if you need to seek inpatient treatment and will provide evidence for insurance preauthorization.
Inpatient care is essential if you need medical detox so you have the support you need to keep you safe as your body clears itself of drugs and alcohol. Many patients transition to inpatient residential care after medical detox so they can continue getting intensive care and lay a solid foundation for long term recovery.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Independence Blue Cross Cover?
Independence Blue Cross plans may cover different levels of outpatient rehab depending on your needs and the medical necessity of the care. Outpatient treatment enables you to receive addiction treatment through individual and group therapy as well as virtual care.
Outpatient rehab is often done in stages after leaving inpatient care. The most intensive outpatient treatment is a partial hospitalization program (PHP) where you spend several hours a day for five to seven days a week at a treatment center.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are a step down from PHP and you attend outside therapy sessions for nine to 19 hours per week. As you progress in your recovery you will eventually move to general outpatient treatment where you attend counseling sessions just once or twice a week.
Does Independence Blue Cross Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Many Independence Blue Cross plans cover methadone and Suboxone as well as Vivitrol as part of medication assisted treatment (MAT) programs. You’ll want to get your plan details so you understand if you need a referral or preauthorization before you begin treatment.
MAT is used to treat opioid use disorders and alcohol use disorders. It can help reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms to help you stay stable during treatment. This helps prevent relapse while you lay a strong foundation for recovery.
The insurer offers a large network of facilities where you can receive MAT. You’ll want to check with your specific plan to see which of these facilities are in network for you.
Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be in Network?
To get the most out of your Independence Blue Cross insurance plan it helps if you use in network addiction treatment providers. Many Independence Blue Cross plans will not cover out of network care. Even if your plan does cover out of network providers it will cost you more because there are higher deductibles and copayments for out of network providers.
You can find an extensive list of Independence Blue Cross in network providers online or by calling 1 800 ASK BLUE.
Calls to any general helpline will be answered or returned by a paid advertiser.
