Kaiser Permanente offers health insurance coverage in several states. They were founded in California in 1945 and have expanded from there. Kaiser is unique among insurers because they run Kaiser Medical Centers, which provide a variety of care to members. I especially like that Kaiser Medical Centers are leaders in LGBTQ+ care.
Does Kaiser Permanente Cover Drug Rehab?
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most long term insurance plans cover at least some of the cost of mental health and substance use treatment. There are exceptions to the law, however, so it pays to double check.
Each plan is different, so it’s important to understand the details of your specific plan. Don’t be afraid to reach out to the insurance company to get the information you need. You can ask what addiction treatment centers are part of your plan, for example. You can also find out what out of pocket costs, like copayments or deductibles, you’ll have to pay.

Boca Recovery was my saving grace. I was given the ultimatum that if couldn’t get clean from alcohol and marijuana, then I would be removed from my children’s lives and have no chance of getting custody back. As an addict I just didn’t see me able to do this alone. I Google searched top rehabs in Oklahoma, and came across Boca Recovery. When I spoke to a recruiter they informed me that the facility was not in Oklahoma, but he told me not to panic. If I was ready, then all I had to worry about was making sure I was going to board on my scheduled flight. It seemed too good to be true, but sure enough they delivered and made sure I made it there safely. As soon as I stepped foot into the facility the staff treated me with the best care. Not only that, but the facility was very well maintained. You’re seen by a nurse the first day, and they set you up with everything you’ll need for the detox process. All therapist and case managers work together to build the best treatment plan that suits the patient/client. Not to mention the food they provide is amazing! Thanks to Boca recovery I have passed every UA since I’ve been out, and am able to be involved in my children’s lives again. Before arriving to Boca I didn’t see any of this being possible. Highly recommend to anyone struggling with addiction!

BOCA saved my life. It offered me safety, stability, and daily expectations that I needed desperately. From the first day of entering the program the techs were welcoming, understanding, and supportive which eased my anxiety and allowed me to relax. The clinical staff I worked with is amazing and they helped me begin to understand why I needed to be there and pushed me to see that I also deserved happiness and peace of mind. The community that was created during my stay is one that is with me for life. Lifelong friendships have been created and we stay in touch to this day which has been critical for my sense of belonging. Thank you to BOCA in the city of Bloomington, Indiana; you are the starting point to my path of recovery.
81 days and counting.

Very understanding and helpful staff. Actually care about you and your recovery. Highly recommend.
This place is god sent. I have been in several trauma centers in Florida and they are the only ones that seem to get it! Great snacks, fashionable donations (including shoes), and even better Techs.
Ive been clean since the holidays due to their new beginnings of sobriety excitement and impressive alumni support system +Nikki. Thanks, Boca 😀.

Boca is an amazing place. The staff is absolutely amazing. I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Misty and Sondra. From day 1 until the day I left was a complete 180. Misty helped set me up for my next steps, and truly cares and checked in on me to make sure it was the right fit. She got to know understood me as a person and truly knew the right next steps for me to be set up for success. Highly recommend Boca.

Five-Star ReviewChoosing this design for change treatment center was one of the best decisions I ve ever made. From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt a sense of safety, support, and genuine care that I hadn t experienced anywhere else. The facility is beautiful and peaceful, but it s the people who make this place truly special.One of the standout individuals on the team is Tiffany, one of the directors. Her compassion, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to every individual s recovery journey is something you rarely see. Tiffany doesn t just talk the talk she truly walks with you through the process. Whether it was a rough day or a breakthrough moment, she was there offering insight, encouragement, and a calming presence that made all the difference.The program is thoughtfully designed, blending evidence-based therapy with holistic practices, and the staff are all incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. You re never treated like a number here you re seen, heard, and deeply respected.If you re looking for a place that s not only committed to helping you heal but also to empowering you long after you leave, this is it. I m beyond grateful for my experience, and for people like Tiffany who pour their hearts into the work they do every single day.

When I decided to go into detox , I was ashamed and embarrassed for having gotten to the point of needing it, and intimidated by getting it. The minute I arrived at Boca Recovery Center, all of that went away. The entire staff, from Case Workers to Doctors, Nurses, Coordinators, Therapists, - everyone-- was so professional, kind, friendly, caring , informative, supportive , and helpful. I was so comfortable and my condition improved everyday. It was one of my best decisions to go there and be guided by them to better health. I haven't felt this strong and healthy in 5 years. I thank the people at Boca Recovery Center with all of my heart. Love and mercy to everyone.

This place changed and saved my life. I owe the staff and owners everything. They took a dead man walking and gave me hope through God and the 12 steps of Narcotics Anonymous. If you need a way out I recommend you give this program a chance. It is above and beyond a different take on rehabilitation. The staff really care, the groups are small and even the owners really support recovery. It's a blessing from God or whatever your higher power may be. May you find him today...

I completed my treatment at Enlight Treatment Center a year ago, and it was a truly transformative experience. When I first arrived, I was dealing with the aftermath of a broken jaw and the emotional scars from being tortured at a fake detox center, which left me terrified to trust anyone. The staff at Enlight went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, ensuring I received the best care possible.Understanding my dietary restrictions due to the injury, the chef prepared special meals that were easy for me to consume, allowing me to focus on healing without worrying about nutrition. This attention to detail and compassion made a significant difference in my recovery journey.The comprehensive care I received included a tailored treatment plan addressing both my substance use issues and the emotional challenges I faced. The staff's genuine compassion and understanding helped me slowly rebuild trust and feel safe in my environment. Their dual-diagnosis approach was instrumental in helping me manage co-occurring mental health conditions and regain control over my life.I am especially thankful for their expertise in helping me get clean off Suboxone, which was a significant milestone in my recovery journey. The caring environment at Enlight made all the difference, providing me with the support and encouragement I needed to overcome my fears and embrace a new chapter in life.Reflecting on the past year, I am incredibly grateful for the foundation Enlight Treatment Center provided, enabling me to overcome not only my addiction but also the physical and emotional hurdles I faced upon arrival. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking compassionate and comprehensive care.-Nik

Coming to The Center changed the trajectory of my life. I had a lot of trauma that I had never dealt with that was unknowingly causing unhealthy behavioral patterns. These patters had slowly been building over time and were becoming more and more damaging both to myself and to my loved ones.My time here helped me find a path forward and gave me momentum in my journey toward healing. Where I felt completely hopeless before, I now fully believe that my life is worth living and The Center has given me the tools and the knowledge to pursue that life to the fullest.

I am so grateful for my 6 weeks at The Center. It was both shocking and relieving to see the wide range of different kinds of people that come into there, as well as the wide range of issues that bring them in.The days are full and it can feel like a lot, but it truly is what you make of it. Apply yourself and you will get so much great information, as well as inspiration from other clients and genuine care from your individual team. It is incredibly evident how much these people love their jobs.It wasn t my idea to go there, but I m so glad that I did choose to make the leap. I had basically come to accept that I was just stuck due to depression, anxiety, shame, fear, etc, but I was able to build the foundation for reconnecting to my true self. Looking forward to life again. Certainly still work to do, but it was definitely the jump-start I needed.Loved my whole team, and all the therapists who led groups, but special shoutout to my psych, Austin, for being so diligent with my medication changes, and to my lead therapist, Virgil, for being the absolute man and helping me look at myself and life differently.All the love to The Center and anyone who is considering going there
The combination of filters you have selected has no results. Please refine your selections and try again.
Does Kaiser Permanente Cover Suboxone & Methadone (MAT)?
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) uses FDA approved medication combined with other therapies to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders.
Suboxone and methadone are two of the most commonly prescribed medications for MAT. Kaiser Permanente offers plans that can help with the cost of these prescriptions. You may need to use in network MAT programs and pharmacies, however, so make sure you verify the details of your plan before you begin treatment.
Does Kaiser Permanente Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Kaiser Permanente members have access to multiple options for mental and behavioral health care. Options include primary care, emergency care, and specialty care. Self care tools and resources are also available at no cost.
Most Kaiser Permanente plans include coverage for mental and behavioral health treatment. The types of treatment you might get for mental health include inpatient care, crisis support, support groups, therapy, and health classes.
Some people have a mental health diagnosis alongside addiction, which is known as co occurring disorders. Your Kaiser Permanente plan can generally help you pay for the integrated care you need to address both at once, which dramatically improves your chances of long term recovery.
Kaiser Permanente Coverage Areas
Kaiser has both health insurance and medical facilities. Most, if not all, Kaiser health plans have to be used at Kaiser clinics. You wouldn’t, for example, be able to go to the University of Oregon Health Services using your Kaiser insurance.
Kaiser Permanente operates in multiple states across the country, including California, Oregon, Washington state, Colorado, Georgia, and Hawaii. They also have clinics and hospitals in the D.C. area, including parts of Maryland and Virginia.
There are 40 Kaiser hospitals and 616 affiliated medical offices in their service areas. One benefit is that if you have a California Kaiser plan and go to college in, say, Colorado, you can use your California plan at Kaiser clinics in Colorado.
There are many ways to see your Kaiser doctor. You can schedule a video visit, make a phone appointment, or go to the clinic in person. There are also online visits and email advice available.
Types of Kaiser Permanente Plans
Kaiser’s individual and family plans are based on how you pay your costs. There are copay plans that have no deductibles. The premium is a bit higher, but you pay less when you get treatment. There are also deductible plans which are cheaper but you have to cover a deductible before the copay coverage kicks in.
Virtual plans charge you less for telehealth visits while still giving you access to in person care when needed. Finally, there are high deductible plans where you set up a special HSA bank account to save money to cover your health needs.
Kaiser Permanente also offers Medicare plans, Medicaid plans, employer plans that allow companies to offer health benefits to employees, and coverage for federal employees.
What Inpatient Rehab Does Kaiser Permanente Offer?
Kaiser uses their hospitals and clinics to provide addiction treatment. They cover a lot of types of treatment focusing on evidence based care recommended by your doctor. I love that Kaiser is actively involved in substance use treatment research. It helps them deliver state of the art care.
Their facilities offer medical detoxification and inpatient/residential care. A medical detoxification program uses FDA cleared prescriptions to help ease your withdrawal symptoms and reduce the potential serious side effects that are linked to some addictive drugs.
You have several options for inpatient or residential treatment at an approved treatment center. This can include evidence based treatments you receive in an individual or group setting. You can also get a combination of education and medical care along with therapy in a comprehensive treatment program.
At an inpatient or residential facility you live there and can get therapy during the day or evening hours. Inpatient care can be a good choice if you’ve tried outpatient treatment and it just didn’t work or when you have other physical or mental health conditions. It can also be helpful when your home situation makes it more difficult to stay clear of drugs and alcohol.
Insurance plans vary so it’s important to check your policy benefits and limitations. For example you might need to get a referral or preauthorization before you start rehab.
What Outpatient Addiction Treatment Does Kaiser Permanente Offer?
There are different types of outpatient addiction treatment Kaiser Permanente covers. Outpatient programs can be more challenging since you are practicing your new mindsets and habits in the pressure of daily life but the programs help you build the needed skills to handle these triggers.
This most intensive outpatient treatment is a partial hospitalization program (PHP) which is also known as a day program. You attend most of the day but spend the evenings at home or in a sober living environment. The next step down is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) where you receive around 9 hours a week of treatment and are able to work or attend school outside of your sessions. Finally, in a standard outpatient program you may have one or two therapy sessions each week.
You’ll likely get evidence based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These are usually delivered through individual and group therapy along with family therapy when appropriate.
If you struggle with opioid or alcohol misuse, medication assisted treatment (MAT) might be a good solution. MAT allows you to use FDA approved medicine to manage cravings during treatment. This keeps you focused on your recovery and helps prevent relapse.
Your outpatient program may also offer peer support and aftercare programs that help prevent relapse and support your long term recovery. Peer support programs connect you with people who have been through the program and understand the challenges you face. Aftercare programs may include therapy and usually include some community support such as 12 step or other community support meetings.
Can I Travel Out of State for Treatment With Kaiser Permanente?
Yes, you can travel out of state for addiction treatment with Kaiser Permanente insurance. However for most Kaiser plans you still need to stay in network and use Kaiser Permanente clinics. That means you can go out of state and use your Kaiser insurance at a Kaiser clinic in the new state but you cannot get coverage at other treatment centers in that state.
If you do have a Kaiser plan that allows out of network coverage you can go to non Kaiser clinics in other states but you’ll pay far more in terms of your deductible and copayments. It’s best if you can find a suitable in network provider.
What to Do if Kaiser Permanente Won’t Cover the Cost of Rehab
Kaiser Permanente clinics offer high quality care for drug and alcohol addiction treatment but you may feel these clinics are not a good fit for you. This means you’ll be going to an out of network treatment center which may will not be covered by your insurance plan. In this case there are other ways to help pay for rehabilitation.
Your friends or family might be able to help or you might find an affordable faith based organization you align with to get treatment at. Some centers have a sliding scale of fees can be more affordable than other options. You might also set up a payment plan that spreads out the cost of treatment or get a scholarship or grant to cover rehab.
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.
