Insurance Coverage

Medicaid
If you qualify in Massachusetts, Medicaid is one of your options when it comes to paying for rehab. Medicaid covers multiple levels of care, and you may have no out-of-pocket costs. However, you’ll need to choose a treatment center that accepts Medicaid.
Medicare
Medicare is a good way to pay for substance use treatment in Massachusetts. Medicare plans may vary, so be sure to find out coverage details and what copayments or deductibles you might be responsible for.
Private insurance
Paying for rehab in Massachusetts can be done in multiple ways, including using private insurance. Because plans vary, be sure to contact the insurer to find out what centers are in-network with your coverage and to find out what out-of-pocket costs you might be responsible for.
Self-pay options
In Massachusetts, you can use self-pay, also known as private pay, to cover the costs of rehab. Payment structure may vary depending on the level of care, but you can use a medical loan, write a check, or send money electronically.

CBT is a common part of both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment and may be used to help with skill-building, overcoming problematic behavior, and managing substance use triggers.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Family therapy sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes and may include discussing marital issues, codependency, grief, domestic violence, trauma, and other topics that impact families. The goal is to create healthier relationships that can support recovery.
Group Therapy
During group therapy in Massachusetts, each client has a chance to share their unique experiences and feelings about the discussion topic. This creates accountability and support. Group therapy is a common part of both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment, and may be used to help with skill-building, processing, and to present educational information.
Individual Therapy
You’re not alone as you work through addiction in Massachusetts. Individual therapy gives you a professional who’s on your side to help you build a new life. Individual focuses on improving both behavioral and emotional health. You may explore thought processes, develop motivation to change, and/or explore past events that may have played a part in your substance use.

When you receive trauma-informed therapy, it may include peer support, grief counseling, medications to support mental health, and developing healthier responses to emotional triggers.
