How Do I Know If I Need Addiction Treatment?

If you're wondering whether you need addiction treatment, it's worth making a free call and having an open discussion with one of our trusted admissions specialists.

Common signs of substance use disorder include difficulty stopping or cutting back, increased cravings, relationship challenges, declining physical or mental health, problems at work or school, or continuing to use substances despite negative consequences.

You don't have to hit "rock bottom" to benefit from treatment. At Hazelden Betty Ford Center City, our team helps people at every stage of substance use disorder and recovery. Through a confidential assessment, we can help determine the level of care that best fits your needs, whether that's detox, residential treatment, outpatient care, or mental health services. 

Does Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?

Many health insurance plans provide coverage for addiction treatment, including detox services, inpatient rehab, outpatient programs and treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions. Coverage varies by provider, plan and level of care, but our team works with many major insurance companies and can help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
