Why Does Insurance Only Cover So Little Days for Drug Rehab?
Question by Jenifer: Why does insurance only cover so little days for drug rehab?
My husband was just admitted to Sunrise House in Lafayette,Nj. This is his first time in rehab. It is a 28 days program but the people who work there tell me we will get lucky if they let him stay for 10 days. Why do they do this?

Unfortunately, there is little sympathy for drug addicts. It is a self-inflicted problem.

high cost of treatment and low success rate. thus, the cost to insurers is potentially huge, so they limit benefits to keep policies affordable.
also, from an insurance viewpoint, 10 days is likely enough for those who get slight ‘liking’ for Vicoden or similar due to medical necessity. if longer is needed — it’s self-inflicted drug abuse and that’s not covered by insurance.
It is a cost the insurer rightfully feels the abuser should bear – not them – these charges
are not cheap – they are on the level with any other hospital
depends on the plan. mine is 30 days inpatient.
