Seeking treatment for addiction takes courage. Starting the search for addiction treatment can feel stressful enough without the added uncertainty of figuring out insurance coverage. Understanding deductibles, networks, and behavioral health coverage can be really confusing, especially when you’re already navigating addiction and considering treatment.
If you have Carelon Behavioral Health insurance (formerly Beacon Health Options), your plan may include benefits for substance use disorder treatment. The exact coverage depends on your individual policy, but many plans cover services such as detox, residential treatment, and therapy when they’re medically necessary.
At Voyager Recovery Center, we’re here to help make the process a little easier. Our admissions team can verify your insurance benefits and help you understand your coverage so you can spend less time worrying about paperwork and more time focusing on recovery.
Formerly known as Beacon Health Options, Carelon Behavioral Health manages behavioral health benefits, including services related to mental health and substance use treatment, for members across the country.

Every insurance plan is different, so covered services, provider networks, deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket costs can vary. If you have questions about your insurance, Voyager Recovery Center’s admissions team can review your plan and help you understand what treatment options may be available.
