Insurance Coverage
Private insurance
If you have private insurance in Maryland, contact the insurer for details about using your plan to pay for some or all of the cost of rehab. You may have out-of-pocket costs such as a deductible or copay, and you’ll want to look for a treatment center in-network with your insurance coverage.
