How do I choose a program for veterans?

Accepted Answer

Compare programs on licensing, accreditation, the levels of care they offer, and whether they specialize in the support you need. A licensed clinician can help you weigh the options — this page is informational and not a substitute for a professional assessment.

Question 3

Does insurance cover treatment for veterans?

Accepted Answer

Most health plans cover addiction and mental health treatment, and under the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the Affordable Care Act, most plans must cover these services comparably to other medical care. Whether a specific program is covered depends on your plan and the program's network status — verify with your insurer before enrolling.
