If your health insurance covers it then that’s the only way you can have insurance pay. There is no special insurance for this. Unless you go to a state funded program. You can look online for programs in your area or look into state or county help.

Substance abuse is a mental and medical condition. Just remember these programs may have a waiting list.

Take care and never give up!
