Mercy Care health insurance covers drug rehab treatment for 30 to 90 days if deemed medically necessary.

However, the duration of the stay in treatment is subject to individual treatment needs.

It is important to understand that the duration of drug rehab is not the only factor that determines the success of treatment.

The individual’s engagement level and commitment to recovery all play essential roles in achieving successful outcomes.⁵

Mercy Care health insurance provides coverage for dual diagnosis treatment, addressing both substance abuse and mental health disorders.⁶

This dual diagnosis treatment is essential in substance abuse treatment as it targets not only the addiction but also any underlying mental health conditions contributing to substance use.

At Cornerstone, we offer specialized co-occurring treatment programs, taking a holistic approach that may include therapy, medication management, and other interventions to address substance abuse and mental health disorders simultaneously.
