Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which level of care is right for us?
The right level of care depends on the severity of substance use, the presence of co-occurring mental health conditions, previous treatment history, and each partner’s medical stability. A confidential couples assessment or a conversation with a care navigator can help you determine the most appropriate starting point.
Can we go to treatment together as a couple?
Yes. Many addiction treatment programs offer couples-focused tracks where both partners participate in individual therapy, group sessions, and joint couples counseling. Programs are available at multiple levels of care including residential, intensive outpatient, and telehealth.
Does insurance cover couples addiction treatment?
Most PPO insurance plans provide coverage for addiction treatment including detox, residential, outpatient, and therapy services. Coverage varies by plan and provider. A care navigator can verify your specific benefits at no cost.
What if only one of us has an addiction?
Couples treatment programs also serve couples where only one partner has a substance use disorder. The non-using partner participates in relationship counseling, psychoeducation, and family therapy to support the recovery process and address relational dynamics affected by addiction.
How quickly can we start treatment?
Many programs offer same-day or next-day assessments and can begin the admissions process quickly once insurance verification is complete. For urgent situations, speak with a care navigator or visit our crisis support page for immediate guidance.
