Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Medical detox is the process of weaning your body off addictive drugs like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids, under the 24/7 care of medical professionals. Often the first step in the recovery process, medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting, where you will be closely monitored to ensure your maximum health and safety. Medications, like Suboxone or Vivitrol, may be administered if needed to alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide high-level support for clients who do not need inpatient treatment or who prefer to live at home while in early recovery. Intensive outpatient rehabs also offer support for clients who are reintegrating into their community following inpatient care. Clients typically receive a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, though many programs offer up to 20 therapeutic hours. Psychotherapy, recovery education, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) are standard.
Clients may choose to enroll in outpatient treatment to facilitate their transition out of intensive inpatient care. Working professionals and family caregivers may also prefer to remain in their home and community post-detox, making outpatient treatment an ideal option. Many facilities offer a full continuum of care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living, and standard outpatient programming. Psychotherapy, recovery education, evidence-based complementary therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) are widely available in outpatient programs.
If in-person visits are a challenge for you, telehealth in Vermont may provide a good option. This allows you to receive treatment from home or any other location. You can meet with a counselor, receive a prescription, or send updates on your condition, all through your smartphone or other device.
Rehab aftercare programs approach recovery as a life-long process that requires robust, individualized, and ongoing care. Clients in drug rehab aftercare have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient treatment and are weeks or months into their recovery journey. These programs are designed to promote clients' continued sobriety through a comprehensive portfolio of services aligned with the clients' evolving needs. Peer coaching, career counseling, and relapse prevention services are standard in these continuing care programs.

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress.

Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
