Summit Wellness in Roswell gave me the structure and honesty I needed at a point when I really needed it. The clinical staff were the difference, masters-level therapists who actually knew what they were doing and treated me like a person, not a case file. If you’re looking at outpatient options in the Atlanta area, start here.

Coming into Treehouse PDX I was missing the mental tools needed to treat my trauma that led to my drinking. I didn’t know how to cope and realized that I wasn’t like normal people who drink. I drank to fill a hole.
However with being in the PHP program, I got a lot of the help I was looking for. With great leadership and counseling they helped me get back to a place where I can heal. Where I can now use these tools and build a life that I can call healthy and be inspired by.
The house itself is a lot nicer than what I think people may expect. The Facility itself for me is great! (I don’t go to the gym so I don’t have much to compare to, so it feels top notch to ME). We work out for about 4 hours every weekday. Running, Yoga (aka “Joga”), MMA padwork, pickleball and more.
The counseling is amazing. The team definitely makes you feel like you’re getting 1 on 1 care, even considering the amount of clients they have.
This is my first and I believe last treatment center I will be attending. But I think this is the BEST. I’ve heard from other people in the sober community who have had more experience than I do and they never fail to tell me about what a privilege I have in being in Treehouse.
Thank you to Treehouse Staff, My Brothers and Team! I’m happy to say I’ve made lifelong connections while on this lifelong journey of healing.

My time at treehouse recovery changed my whole trajectory in life. It’s rare that anyone give themselves a chance to hit stop and spend 3 months dedicated to only growth and healing from the past. I will always look at treehouse as the pivotal point when I decided to do what I needed for myself. I can’t stress enough how amazing this program is. I have seen so many men come in different stages of spiritual decomposition and leave glowing and empowered with new purpose and strength. 100/10.

Didn’t want to attend the PHP program at the Plymouth house for my issues with Alcohol but I am beyond thankful that I did. The community here has helped me grow in the two months I’ve been there and taught me skills I will continue to practice in my sobriety. It’s isn’t always a walk in the park but if you need help why not try it, only positives can come from it.

Completing the Residential and PHP program at the Plymouth House was the best decision I made for my recovery. The groups offered take a deep dive into effective means of recovery that I benefit from daily. The staff went above and beyond, the facility itself is kept in great condition, and the food was amazing. I am very thankful to have had the experience I did from The Plymouth House.

I cannot express enough gratitude for The Plymouth House. The staff, program, structure, and supportive community gave hope and has helped me to find me again! Letting go and coming here has been one of the best decisions of my life. This is a special place… I expected the process to be overwhelming, and impossible but they made it so easy. If are considering you might have the need just give a call and talk to them.

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.

Hey my name is Lance Stackhouse I have successfully completed the Lantana PHP program and it was life changing for me there level of care is immaculate they are very experienced in recovery therefore they relate on a personal level with the clients they are very nice and the program itself prepares you for real life and equips you with so many tools for you to use in your recovery. They have many different approaches to recovery so you have the option to experience each one and choose what works best for you again this was nothing short of life changing for me. You will appreciate this experience and learn so much. Thank you Lantana!

My experience has been impeccable.
They offer many groups and allow clients some options in choosing different group therapies in the afternoon. I was allowed to attended different 12 step meetings in the evening and encouraged to build my sober network.
The support from all staff members has been expressed with genuine love and kindness.
Lantana has a wonderful success rate and I believe this is do to the staff members who truly care about each individual client, providing care and compassion we need in such a difficult time.
There is a strong community here. You can find friends and mentorship as you go through the program with clients who are also seeking support.
Everyone’s experience is going to be different. Going through treatment can be challenging, many of us are learning a new way of life to find peace and serenity.
100% I recommend this program to those who are struggling and need some support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Magellan Health Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Magellan Health provides behavioral health solutions and care management services to insurance plans and employers along with states and federal agencies. However Magellan doesn’t determine what is covered or how much coverage you have — the insurance plan determines that.
That’s why it’s so important to verify your coverage details before you start treatment. You may find that you need a doctor’s referral or preauthorization to get insurance coverage.
Also insurance plans focus on covering medically necessary care. Working with your doctor to create a treatment plan for your addiction diagnosis will not only give you direction on what programs to look for but will help prove medical necessity as well.
What Insurance Services Does Magellan Health Offer to Clients?
Magellan Health offers a wide range of insurance solutions that are tailored to each client’s needs.
For health plans Magellan offers behavioral health services that include coordinated care for anxiety and depression along with substance use disorder and autism and more. There are digital behavioral health services as well.
Other services that health plans can use include care management assistance and a pharmacy program to make it easier to provide prescription medications to members. They also have a program called Magellan Autism Connections® to help families care for children with autism.
Employers can take advantage of Magellan’s eMbrace employer solutions. This includes Employer Assistance Programs (EAPs) along with behavioral health care. They also have specialized solutions that augment those programs by giving additional support to young adults and adolescents along with parents and caregivers and more.
For states Magellan provides behavioral healthcare and children’s services. They also give state programs access to peer support for recovery.
Finally for federal agencies and the military Magellan Federal offers mental health and substance use services and care management along with family support services and administrative support.
Does Magellan Health Cover Mental Healthcare?
All of Magellan Health’s solutions include behavioral health services which includes mental healthcare. However Magellan doesn’t decide exactly what is covered or how much coverage is available — your insurance plan does that. So it’s important to talk to your insurance company or employer’s benefits specialist to get the details of your plan before you begin a program.
Mental health services include crisis support as well as therapy and counseling. You may be able to get peer support from those who have gone through the same issues. Whether you struggle with depression or anxiety or other mental health concerns most insurance plans will provide at least some coverage.
One thing to keep in mind is that many people with substance use disorders also have mental health diagnoses. Having both together is called a co occurring disorder or a dual diagnosis. If you have a dual diagnosis is essential to get integrated treatment that addresses both issues so you can maximize your chance of long term recovery.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Magellan Health Cover?
Because insurance companies focus on medically necessary care, you must have a treatment plan created by your physician from the beginning. Your doctor may rely on the ASAM criteria to determine whether inpatient treatment is best.
As you go through the detoxification process, it’s often safer to do it under the care of a physician and additional healthcare workers. Inpatient treatment allows you to medically detox safely as the first step to your recovery. Magellan Health has many resources for inpatient treatment, but the treatment available is based on your specific plan, so it’s always a good idea to talk to someone about your policy.
After detox you may have inpatient or residential treatment where you live at the treatment facility and focus fully on your recovery.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Magellan Health Cover?
Outpatient rehab comes in several forms. The most intensive is a partial hospitalization program or PHP. This option allows you to live at home while still receiving treatment. It’s ideal for those who need more than a regular therapist or doctor can offer but don’t need 24-hour care.
The next level is intensive outpatient programs or IOPs. This is a comprehensive, intense form of treatment that still allows you to meet outside obligations to things like work and family. You generally have treatment three hours at a time, a few days a week.
Outpatient treatment focuses on psychoeducation, relapse prevention, group and individual counseling, and teaching coping and recovery skills.
Before you commit to any type of treatment plan, make sure you discuss the specifics with your insurance company.
Does Magellan Health Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Some providers will recommend medication-assisted treatment, also known as MAT. This occurs when medication is combined with traditional forms of rehab, like counseling, to increase the chances of success.
Two medications often used in this process are methadone and suboxone. They are often used to treat opioid addiction and help reduce cravings while blocking highs that come from mood-altering substances. Specialists have found medication to be a valuable tool in the arsenal used to treat addiction.
If your doctor recommends any type of MAT, speak to your insurance company to ensure it’s covered before you start because coverage amounts and requirements vary per policy.
How Long Will Magellan Health Cover Rehab?
Recovery usually consists of a combination of things. Your doctor will determine your treatment plan and how long it should last. Every case is individualized to help every patient have the best chance of success.
The first step may be detox. The second step may be inpatient or outpatient treatment. The third step is often a program that allows you to integrate back into society slowly. The final step is aftercare and upkeep.
Every step is just as important as the one before it and to reach long term recovery you’ll need to complete each one.
Insurance plans each have their own limits and requirements for treatment. You’ll want to make sure you understand your full plan benefits to ensure you get coverage for your full medically recommended treatment plan.
Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be In Network?
Many plans don’t cover providers that are out of network. Even if the plan covers some costs, the deductibles and copayments are usually higher for the patient. It’s best to stay in-network if possible when choosing a treatment center or provider.
If you prefer an out-of-network provider, discuss the costs extensively before you enter treatment. Magellan Health has providers for specific services, but your individual insurance plan defines the overall medical network.
How to Verify Coverage With Magellan Health
You can check the details of your insurance policy by logging into your online account, contacting a customer service representative, or discussing your options with a specific treatment center you’re considering. Because there are a wide variety of plans, make sure you know your specific plan name.
Always verify your overall insurance details and the benefits available so you have a complete picture. If you are prepared to go into treatment with all the information, your chances of recovery greatly increase.
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.
