Using Amerigroup for Drug and Alcohol Treatment

How Amerigroup coverage can support your next step

Drug and alcohol treatment is more accessible today in part because of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA requires health insurance plans to cover substance use and mental health care in the same way they cover other medical conditions. Amerigroup follows these guidelines too, which means many members have benefits that can help with the cost of treatment.

At SOBA New Jersey, we are pleased to accept Amerigroup insurance policies. If you are covered through Amerigroup, your benefits may apply to services like detox and ongoing treatment. Coverage can look different from plan to plan, so our team can review your policy with you, explain what is included, and help you understand any costs before you start.

What is AmeriGroup Insurance?

How Exactly Does AmeriGroup Health Insurance Work?

AmeriGroup is a popular healthcare insurance provider that focuses on providing coverage to seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families. It currently insured nearly 8 million people from these demographics. People in low-income households are statistically at a higher risk of addiction than the average person, so the coverage provided by AmeriGroup is highly important in the fight against addiction.

I went to SOBAs residential and sober living program and it really helped me on my journey with recovery.

The facility was great and so were the people. Mike C in particular was so great, he was kind, compassionate and welcoming and he also kept it real with me which was exactly what I needed. Couldn’t recommend SOBA enough.
