Alternatives Unit accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure financial barriers do not prevent access to care. The facility works with Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, and state-financed programs, as well as offering self-pay options with assistance available. Under the Mental Health Parity Act, substance abuse treatment is covered at the same level as other medical services, meaning your insurance plan must provide comparable benefits for addiction treatment.
