If a person doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of alcohol and drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol treatment programs.
