You can also go to Affordable Health Insurance and Medical Insurance from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) you can start a user profile using your card id# they will tell you exactly what the cost is, and who providers are that accept bc/bs. Most policies have a 30 day rider that cover inpatient. Good luck to you.

if you are incapable of figuring out the behavioral health part of your insurance, you are not alone...it is a maze. You may have to call several times to get the answers you need. On line it will list providers. However, getting authorization takes tenacity.
If you don't have this at this time
DO not be afraid to ask a parent, aunt, friend, etc. to help you get this accomplished.
My son would never have been able to figure the insurance out on his own or the persistence when he was an addict. Ask for someone to help you if necessary. Don't take no for an answer from your insurance.
Get the help you need. There is a way, because you're willing.

Patrick I wish you all the best in your search, I can not add anything to what has already been said except one thing........... everyone of them more then likely is going to tell you to go to AA after you get out, why not start going again while you are searching.
Oh wait a minute, grab the phone book and call your local AA hotline, they may be able to hook you up.

What I did and I have UHC, they put me thru to mental health division, I got a list of rehabs that they cover. I next made an appt with the rehab center. I was interviewed and they got my insurance information and found out what my ins. would cover. my insurance company would pay for 28 days inpatient, but not for me it is Funny but I guess cause I hadn't had a claim with them before for this they didn't think I needed inpatient..but then they also wanted to make sure this was not preexisting with another company recently...HAHAHA..I told them, I guess a 1/5 everyother day was not enuf to get inpatient.
But it all worked out I got the out patient and i went to rehab 5 days a week. And after that I appreciated that I could still take care of my animals and my grand daughter and get the help I needed.
So in a nutshell, call insurance company, get rehab name they will cover, make appt with the rehab. go thru the interview and they will contact ins. to see how much is covered. Good luck, and don't give up. there is help out there.

Patrick, i had the same insurance a few years back, what i did was find a rehab i wanted to attend, called them and let them qualify (deal) with the insurance bs, i ended up in w palm beach fl at a great 30 day rehab, out of pocket was very minimal, the insurance even paid a big chunk of my airfare.. Good to see you are willing , stick to it..
Take care,
John

Yes homer...that may be exactly what you need to do.
I was terrified that I would loose everything if I went inpatient...then I realized I would loose everything if I didn't anyways and the choice got a little easier.
Glad you are looking at this possiblility.:ghug
