Kentucky
Fortunately, the Kentucky State legislature supports strong insurance parity laws, and mandates all insurance providers to offer treatment for substance abuse needs with equal funding to treatment for physical health needs (there are some small exceptions).
As a result, if you do have good private health insurance, you should be able to access a substantial sum for coverage for drug or alcohol rehab, and you may be entitled to a stay of care at one of the state's best drug and alcohol rehabs.
Even if you don’t have insurance though, there are still drug and alcohol rehabs that run very affordable or even free programs of care. No one in Kentucky needs to think that they cannot get needed drug or alcohol treatment for financial reasons.
