The fact is, when addiction strikes, nobody truly knows where to turn or what to do. Do I get help from my family doctor? Do I tell my family what’s going on? How do I explain this to my friends? Will insurance even help me to cover the cost of treatment? All of these questions arise, and figuring out where to even begin can seem like a nightmare at best.
Keep in mind that coverage depends on your unique situation and policy details. If you or someone you love is addicted to drugs or alcohol, call our helpline at 1-888-605-7779 to find out if American Family Insurance is accepted at a rehab center near you.

How Long will American Family Insurance Cover Treatment for Addiction?
Depending on your health needs, the insurance policy that you have and various other factors you will find that American Family Insurance offers a variety of coverage options to suit you. Although the benefits of addiction treatment may not be the best from American Family, you’re not left uncovered either. Most programs provide minimal essential coverage for drug or alcohol detox that will help you overcome the physical challenges of addiction and some policies also provide coverage for the following rehab programs:
- 28-30-day rehabs
- 60-day rehabs
- 90-day rehabs
It’s not likely that American Family Insurance will cover more than 90 days of treatment, so you may require additional financial assistance if you get into a point where you need more than just a few months of care. Talk with your treatment provider about how long you will need in rehab and what can be done to help offset additional treatment costs or call our helpline toll-free at 1-888-605-7779 to learn more.
What About Luxury Rehab?
American Family Insurance does NOT cover luxury rehabilitation options so don’t expect to get help with payment for the high-end treatment options at a luxury facility. This means you will not be able to use your insurance to cover things like gourmet meals, private accommodations or special services and amenities during rehab.
Although the majority of the luxury amenities are not covered by American Family Insurance because they are not deemed “medically necessary” you may be able to still receive treatment at a luxury inpatient rehab center using your insurance but paying out of pocket for the additional services that are not medically necessary. Talk with a treatment provider at 1-888-605-7779 to learn more about this.
