Frequently asked questions
Does insurance cover 60-day rehab in Texas?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care. Texas law requires group plans to cover chemical dependency treatment on terms no less favorable than physical illness, and state and federal parity rules apply. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
Why choose 60 days over 30?
The extra month adds time to practice recovery skills, treat co-occurring conditions and prepare for home. It often suits people with longer histories or past relapses.
Can I start with 30 days and extend to 60?
Often, yes. Many programs review progress weekly and can extend your stay if your clinical team and insurer agree it is needed.
