Rehab Program Types — What Your Insurance Covers
- Medical Detox (Level 3.7–4) — Billed as medically necessary inpatient care; obtain prior authorization with physician documentation of medical necessity before admission to minimize denials
- Inpatient Residential (Level 3.5) — Most private plans cover 28–30 days with extension possible via ASAM utilization review; out-of-network residential may require a MHPAEA parity appeal if denied
- Partial Hospitalization (Level 2.5) — A standard covered benefit under MHPAEA on most PPO and HMO plans; typically requires prior authorization and periodic concurrent clinical reviews
- Intensive Outpatient (Level 2.1) — The most widely covered outpatient level; most plans approve 20–30 sessions with minimal prior authorization burden
- Dual Diagnosis Programs — Covered simultaneously under both mental health and SUD benefits; federal parity law prohibits applying more restrictive limits than for comparable medical or surgical benefits
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) — Pharmacy benefit covered by most PPO/HMO plans; Suboxone (buprenorphine) and Vivitrol (naltrexone) typically processed at standard Rx copay rates

Choosing the Right Recovery Environment in New Hampshire
- Local vs. Away Treatment — Local programs preserve employment and family connections; away programs remove exposure to triggers and negative peer networks — the right choice depends on your specific situation
- Verify BDAS Licensure — Regardless of location, marketing, or referral source, confirm active BDAS licensure at dhhs.nh.gov/dcbcs/bdas; this is the non-negotiable baseline for any New Hampshire facility
- Tour or Virtually Visit the Facility — Evaluate staff-to-patient ratios, individual session frequency, group therapy size, quiet space availability, and access to on-site psychiatric consultation
- Confirm ASAM-Based Placement — Not Marketing-Based — The appropriate level of care must be determined by formal ASAM assessment, not by whatever open beds a facility happens to be promoting
- Look for Peer Recovery Specialist Integration — Programs connecting patients with certified peer recovery specialists (CPRS) during and post-treatment demonstrate measurably better 12-month outcomes per SAMHSA research
