Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance May Offer Treatment Coverage for the Following Addictions:

Your insurance plan provides some level of coverage (depending on your specific insurance plan) for substance use disorders. Whether you need alcohol addiction treatment or drug abuse treatment, you can expect some degree of coverage. Your insurance plan, therefore, is likely to provide coverage for addictions such as:

Heroin Addiction

Heroin is an illicit substance that is typically injected, snorted, or smoked. As a highly addictive substance, heroin is almost impossible to stop abusing without help. If you have a heroin addiction, Muse Treatment can help, and your inpatient or outpatient treatment is likely to be covered to some extent (generally 60-80%) by your health insurance plan. 

Drug Addiction

If you are addicted to illicit drugs such as methamphetamine, marijuana, or cocaine, or a prescription drug such as an opioid painkiller, stimulant, or sedative, your insurance plan under the company should cover your treatment to some extent. Depending on your plan, you may receive partial or even full coverage for your rehab treatment or dual diagnosis treatment. 

Ambien Addiction

Ambien abuse and addiction is a serious problem you shouldn’t ignore. Sedatives like Ambien, generally prescribed to treat insomnia, can be highly addictive. Taking too many of these medications or using them with alcohol or other drugs can be a prescription for disaster. Muse Treatment provides Ambien addiction treatment that insurance providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield cover.

Xanax Addiction

Benzodiazepines can be highly addictive prescription drugs. Generally prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, Xanax is effective but is not usually prescribed for the long term because of its high risk for abuse. If you have a Xanax or other prescription drug addiction, you can enroll in a Muse Treatment program to help you manage it. Your insurance plan should provide a degree of coverage.

Ativan Addiction

Ativan is another type of benzodiazepine that can result in addiction when abused. An addiction to Benzos can develop as a result of prescription use or recreational use. Professional rehab treatment is the best way to manage a prescription drug addiction.
