Priority Health Insurance Coverage for Drug Rehab

Priority Health is a nonprofit healthcare company based in Michigan. With more than 1.3 million members, it is the second largest healthcare insurer in Michigan.
Started in 1985 as Lakeshore HMO, in June 2024 Priority Health announced plans to acquire Physicians Health Plan of Northern Indiana, a company that serves 52,000 members. In June 2022, Priority Health also created an alliance with Cigna insurance to allow Cigna members to access Priority Health’s network in Michigan and for Priority Health members to access Cigna’s nationwide network when they are traveling outside of Michigan.
Priority Health also participates in community projects that improve the lives of the underserved residents of Michigan. One such project is a $600,000 Priority Health Foundation grant that helps eight nonprofit organizations provide free vaccines and expand food pantry access to older adults in Detroit, Michigan.
Does Priority Health Cover Addiction Treatment or Rehab?
Most Priority Health plans cover mental health and substance abuse treatment, as required by the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA). This law requires most insurance plans to cover 10 essential health benefits which include mental health and addiction treatment. Another law requires that mental health and substance abuse treatment must be available to members at the same level as other medical treatments.
However there are exceptions to the laws and insurance plans differ so you should check with the insurance company to get the details of your specific plan before you commit to a rehab program.
In addition, the type of treatment(s) your insurance covers will be based on your doctor’s assessment and the treatment plan they create. It’s important to work closely with your doctor so you get the care you need.
Good people... Both the other clients and staff were supportive and caring...the food was terrible...and communication between departments could be improved. I feel my needs were met adequately and I was giving the tools and resources to continue in my recovery
This place gave me my life back! If you are ready to change & have a new chance at life this is the place to come.

This place really does go above and beyond for people. I have never felt so understood and heard before. They made it feel so personal and real. They allowed me to find myself and really heal. Shout out the angel Cruz for all his help as well ✌️ I owe you guys my life.
The experience with Never Alone was a breath of fresh air. My 16 year old son completed his journey 11/19 and came home with a whole new perspective on life and his future. His clinical technician Karissa was a wonderful aide in the process dealing with my son. The family sessions were a great opportunity for me, my son and his mom to work on communicating with one another which was hard to accomplish before our sessions but Karissa helped navigate that and allowed us to grow through our sessions. The weekly parent groups were a very helpful resource and tool as well. I appreciate all the support and encouragement the staff at Never Alone gave to my son and salute them for taking their time to guide my son through his journey.

My daughter spent over 2 months at Never Alone on her recovery journey. We can't say enough great things about the staff and the facility. The staff communicated well and provide support for the entire family. They have been the biggest step and help in her recovery, they provided her with tools she can use in her daily life to stay on tack to help cope with hard things that happen in life. She says now that this was the best thing that could have been provided to her while in addiction.

Never Alone brought back the child that was lost in drugs and addiction. We can't say enough about the staff and the facility. They loved and cared for her so well provide her with all the things she needed in her recover and helped her find herself again and provided her with the knowledge she needed to start her recovery. The staff cares about their jobs, care for the kids their wellbeing and their success in recovery and it shows in their dedication and interaction with the kids. Never Alone has provided her a new opportunity at life.
Skywood was an amazing experience for me. I have never been to a rehab facility before and I cannot recommend this place enough! The staff were great and my therapist was the best! I am
A 47yr old wife and mother of 2 teenagers, and I work full time. I have never had issues with addiction in my past but using made me feel
amazing, it made me feel confident and it made my brain quit going and going. I was diagnosed with ADHD and now I am medicated and feel much more normal.
I ended up doing 45 days of in patient and I am doing 8 weeks of out patient.
I am a cocaine addict and I have learned so much about myself mentally and all the skills needed to overcome this disease!

I was fortunate to go to Skywood this year. I have been to another facility which I thought was pretty nice. I now know what a Great facility is. The campus alone is beautiful, the woods, the buildings, the trails. The staff are well rounded. Multiple styles of therapy, decades of personal experience all shared in multiple different classes, small groups, one on ones and community wide lessons. Great staff also keep the large campus and large community running. The food, entertainment and activities are constant. The large campus offers plenty of fresh air and room to roam. You are not trapped inside locked buildings. The community bonding in the afternoons and evenings makes for an easy environment to get sober and learn about your sobriety. I would hands down recommend Skywood to anyone who is serious about doing the work and getting sober.
The faculty and staff are very helpful and caring!

The Indy facility is the best rehab ever gone to outta more than I can count on my fingers. The staff there are super caring and will do everything they're allowed to help u get thru the process. The director there is one of the most understanding people I've ever met in all the rehab community. I would recommend going there. Most rehab I wouldn't send people I don't like to them but not here.

This place really is a nice vacation if you let yourself see it that way. Great, friendly staff. Good food. Really helpful in learning healthy communication and coping skills, and learning how to utilize them in the real world going forward. Only 4/5 because I had some mix ups with my meds but nothing too serious. I highly recommend the Haven.

Great staff, had some issues with the food but they were taken care of quickly. Felt safe and secure here and well taken care of. Definitely deserves the praise it gets, it's one of the best mental health facilities I've been to or even heard about.
Awesome place to go through recovery. In the 20 years I have been in recovery I have never experienced such a professional organized staff. They assist with medication, case work, are flexible with scheduling. They get you your meds right away at the facility and it's a great place to go to find the right path

The staff were very helpful, professional, and willing to meet clients where they’re at based on their own individual treatment needs. They were the only agency that I found in my area that believe in a dual diagnosis treatment model, which allows you to continue taking your mental health medications, while also getting help for SUD.

Honestly love this place! With the kindness and they respect they give you, it gives you hope for a better future.
This facility and The Haven Foundation has always been a stepping stone for me in kicking off my sobriety. The staff really care about you and truly want the best for you. One person in specific that stood out to me was Angel the alumni coordinator!
What makes him truly special is that the support doesn’t end when treatment does. He stays in touch, checks in, and follows you through every step of your recovery journey. Whether it’s a tough moment or a big milestone, he’s always the first one to reach out, cheer you on, or help guide you back on track.
His commitment to the alumni community is unmatched. You can feel that he cares , not just during your time in treatment, but long after you leave. Having someone like him in your corner makes all the difference.
If every treatment center had an alumni coordinator like him, recovery would feel a lot less lonely. I’m truly grateful for everything he does.

I have been to a few rehabs and Detox‘s only one different Detox, but The Haven Detox Center has gone above and beyond from the intake process all the way through to the BHT‘s to the janitorial staff the medical staff The meal prep kitchen, chef staff has created such a dynamic environment in under a year of their first year anniversary that has Made the people that are clients are patients full of hope, spirit morale, and just genuinely compassionate empathetic and loving towards each other naturally because of the environment that this staff has provided !!!!! And on a sidenote, I would definitely have to give a huge shout out to Marcus the Detox supervisor that guy is not only leading by example, but he’s leading from the front and that’s how you run up company enterprise any type of business transactional environment that’s the type of leadership you look for someone to willing to lead from the front and lead by example !!!
Amazing team always striving to help those seeking recovery! Highly recommend!

Rockland Recovery PHP/IOP is by far the best treatment program in Massachusetts. From start to finish, they truly go above and beyond. If you need detox or residential first, they handle everything — they check your insurance and place you in the most appropriate luxury detox and residential program before you even begin with them.
Once you step down to their PHP/IOP, the support gets even better. They offer both men’s-only and women’s-only sober living, plus transportation to and from treatment every day. If you prefer to drive, they even allow you to keep your car during the first week. The sober living homes are clean, quiet, and extremely accommodating — nothing like a typical halfway house. Living together, going to AA/NA meetings as a community, and even having an in-house Sunday speaker meeting from alumni truly strengthens recovery.
They operate two addiction co-occurring facilities and one mental health facility, and the staff at all locations are incredibly accepting and supportive. At Rockland Recovery Braintree (where I attended), the program focuses on AA-based coursework, not the same repetitive classes most rehabs offer. Every day brings new information, and over 75% of the staff are either in recovery themselves or have a loved one who is, which makes a huge difference. Every facilitator is licensed and genuinely knowledgeable.
If you’re considering PHP/IOP in Boston or Greater Boston, this is the place. They also have the largest alumni program in the state, with monthly events for both current and former clients. Their weekly AA speaker meeting in Milton is the best around (previously held in Quincy).
My only suggestion: I wish they offered a Zoom option for the Tuesday alumni meeting for people who can’t make it in person. If they streamed it online, attendance would definitely triple.
Other than that, Rockland Recovery is exceptional in every way. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Priority Health Plans?
Priority Health offers a variety of plans including individual and family plans, plans that employers can offer employees, and coverage for those who qualify for Medicare or Medicaid.
You may have an individual or family plan from the state’s Insurance Marketplace or from your employer. There are two primary types of insurance. A preferred provider organization (PPO) plan lets you choose the doctor and the treatment facility you wish to use without a referral. You may even have some coverage for out of network providers. However the monthly premiums will be higher.
Health maintenance organization (HMO) plans offer the advantage of lower monthly premiums. But that advantage comes with less flexibility. You’ll need to choose a primary care provider to give you referrals to specialty treatment like addiction rehab, and you’ll also need to use an in network provider to get insurance coverage. As long as the network includes the doctors you prefer to use, an HMO can be a great way to save money.
Priority Health also offers Medicare plans for those who qualify. If you have Original Medicare you can get a Medicare Supplement plan to help you cover out of pocket expenses. Priority Health also has Medicare Advantage plans that fully replace Original Medicare. These plans have some additional benefits, such as vision and dental care, but you also will need to choose providers in the Advantage plan’s network.
Finally, Priority Health offers Medicaid plans, including MIChild, Children’s Special Health Care Services, and Healthy Michigan Plan. These plans offer additional benefits as well including help with transportation to medical appointments, care management, and virtual health visits.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Priority Health Cover?
Priority Health insurance coverage for inpatient addiction treatment will focus on care that is deemed medically necessary. To ensure coverage you should have a comprehensive treatment plan from your doctor.
Inpatient care is particularly important for those undergoing medical detox because it provides the necessary monitoring and safe environment you need as your body clears the drugs and alcohol from your system.
After detox you may move into a residential inpatient care facility to receive ongoing treatment and reduce the risk of a relapse. This treatment includes a very structured environment along with individual and group therapy to help you learn new habits and mindsets for sobriety.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Priority Health Cover?
There are several outpatient program options that your doctor might recommend. Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) allow you to receive addiction treatment during the day but you return to your home at night. PHPs often involve sessions that last 4 to 8 hours a day for three to four days a week. Thirty to 90 day programs are typical.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) often include 9 to 20 hours of treatment per week that are spread over 3 to 5 days. A total of 90 days of treatment is recommended.
In general outpatient programs (OPs) you might take part in sessions at a rehab facility once or twice a week. Group counseling and education on addiction and relapse prevention will typically be provided. When needed individual sessions may also be offered.
Priority Health also offers Teladoc — virtual mental health support — for free to its members. Formerly called myStrength Teladoc provides resources to help with stress and depression along with sleep problems and other issues that may be related to substance abuse. This service can help you create a personalized plan for mental wellness and provides the tools to help you follow that plan.
Does Priority Health Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Priority Health plans may cover medication-assisted treatment (MAT) plans that use methadone and Suboxone. MAT treats opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder by curtailing cravings and alleviating withdrawal symptoms which helps prevent relapse.
Along with the medication you’ll receive individual and/or group counseling to help you establish long-term recovery. Eventually you can taper off the medication and live truly substance-free.
Your coverage may vary depending on your specific plan. It’s important to get your full plan details so you can find out if you need a referral or preauthorization before you start treatment.
Does Priority Health Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Most Priority Health plans cover other mental healthcare services. One program unique to Priority Health is Priority Pups which is a partnership with Canines for Change that places trained therapy dogs in local schools to help alleviate stress and anxiety for kids.
You may be able to get coverage for individual and group coverage to treat mental health issues such as depression or anxiety along with personality disorders and more.
It’s also common to have a mental health disorder alongside addiction concerns. This is known as a dual-diagnosis. If you have a dual-diagnosis it’s essential to get integrated care that addresses both your mental health and addiction. That’s the best way to help you achieve long term recovery.
