Magellan Health Coverage for Drug & Alcohol Rehab
Discover how Magellan Health covers drug and alcohol rehab, including inpatient, outpatient, and medication-assisted treatments.
Magellan Health is the parent of two companies: Magellan Healthcare and Magellan Federal. Both offer behavioral health and support services for clients. Magellan Healthcare serves health plans and employers along with states. Magellan Federal is focused on serving men and women in the military.
In 2022 Magellan Health was acquired by Centene Corporation. However the company continues to operate as a separate subsidiary and maintains their name and brand. Magellan employs over 5,000 people and their services impact millions of Americans.
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.

I called the narcotics anonymous hotline about my son and they arranged for us to take him to Boca. My son didn't really want to go, but he went and was so glad he did. He is now over 5 months clean and doing extremely well. Thank you, Boca, for giving me my son back. He had nothing but great things to say about the way he was treated at your facility. When we picked up my son, we could see that the staff was very caring. There were hugs and tears from my son and others that he connected with. There was kind words and positivity from the staff. I would recommend Boca and I have to people who have asked. Thanks, again, Boca! ❤️

Boca is a very good experience staff is awesome and very helpful and know what you’re going through.
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.

I have attended the Family Workshop many times. It is so amazing and has helped me so much. Dealing with addicted loved ones is so hard. You must have a support system to help you navigate all of the scary, stressful heartbreaking realities of this disease. The Design For Change staff have become like family to me. I know I can call on them when I need advice, someone to listen or just a shoulder to weep on. They understand and are always willing to help. I feel so very blessed to have found them. I wish every suffering addict and their family members would come to DFC for support and help. I am stronger and definitely more educated in dealing with my addicted loved ones one. If you are suffering from addiction or have a family member or loved one who is an addict, there is hope and help at DFC!

I would like to thank God for sending me to BOCA Recovery Center. When I first got there I couldn't believe it. The place was immaculate. Everything was in order, From the staff to the cleanliness. The snack bar was always full. They even had their own drink machine. The nurse is always on duty. Anytime you need your medicine you got it. No matter the time. My bedroom had a flat screen TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi, Pluto TV and much more. They have community cigarettes, Basketball Court and a Gazebo! I couldn't believe this place! They have a private chef! They feed you three times a day all hot meals. You also can also go to group. They have a big screen TV in the common area. So if you want to talk and watch TV you can! They also have a PS5! I couldn't feel more comfortable anywhere else! Thank You BOCA RECOVERY CENTER for a 10 star detox!

“My experience at Windmill Wellness Ranch was truly life-changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt cared for, respected, and supported. The staff went above and beyond to treat me with kindness and compassion, and the program was exactly what I needed. The therapies, group work, and individualized attention helped me heal and grow in ways I never thought possible.
I especially want to thank Ms. Jules, whose wisdom and encouragement always gave me strength. Nate Morgan made a huge impact on me with his guidance and genuine compassion. Haley was always so kind, supportive, and easy to talk to, and Lauren consistently went the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable and cared for.
The environment is peaceful and encouraging, which made it easier to focus on my recovery and personal growth. I never once felt like ‘just a number’—everyone there genuinely cared about my progress.
I’m leaving Windmill Wellness Ranch with a renewed sense of hope and confidence for the future. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for me and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place that combines professionalism with true compassion.”

Witnessing a loved one hit rock bottom is a scary and heartbreaking experience, especially when you hadn’t realized they were struggling with addiction. Then having to suddenly research treatment facilities was a raw mix of emotions. Thankfully we found Tree House Recovery PDX to help guide our entire family through the treatment journey, starting with my brother who was struggling with alcoholism.
Tree House Recovery PDX is a holistic addiction treatment program for men. When first visiting their site, I immediately noticed their empowering voice mixed with an emphasis on team-focused, complete recovery — not to mention MMA, Yoga, and Writing Therapy. Tree House treats the mind, body, and spirit for sustainable recovery, by building strength through fitness, addiction education, writing, 1:1, group sessions, etc. The more we learned about their holistic approach, the more we were ready to contact an admissions counselor — and ultimately my brother made the decision to enter the program.
Privacy is of the utmost importance at Tree House Recovery PDX, so I don’t want to disclose too much, but know that the entire team treats everyone with care, respect, and professionalism. Clinical Director Karen Willock's monthly family group sessions were particularly impactful, and Nevin Andrews was incredibly responsive and kind throughout my brother’s 5-month treatment. Everyone continues to be supportive, too.
As a family member of a program graduate, I would wholeheartedly recommend Tree House Recovery PDX.

Where to being. Treehouse is the very first place that comes to mind when I think about where I would send a loved one struggling. I went through PDX and it absolutely gave me a foundation to actually build a life. The program design, team, staff, culture allowed me to get to a place of healing that had eluded me for years. I’ve been to 15-20 rehabs in my journey. Detoxes, inpatient , outpatient, Salvation Army, the million dollar mansions in SoCal, and every SUD/ PTSD program the VA has- but none of them got CLOSE to getting me to the place that treehouse has. I am truly grateful for life I live today and I owe a tremendous amount of thanks to Treehouse as a whole#PDX

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
