Yes, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield provides comprehensive coverage for drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Under federal parity laws, Horizon must offer substance use disorder benefits comparable to medical and surgical coverage. This ensures members can access necessary addiction treatment without discriminatory limitations.
Horizon BCBS coverage typically includes medically supervised detoxification services, residential inpatient treatment programs, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), individual therapy and counseling, group therapy sessions, and family therapy and education.
At Refine Recovery, our residential treatment program provides comprehensive care in a luxury Beverly Hills setting.

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield covers treatment for all major types of substance use disorders. Their clinical review process evaluates medical necessity based on established criteria, ensuring appropriate coverage regardless of the substance involved.
Substance use disorders covered by Horizon BCBS include:
Yes, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield includes comprehensive mental health coverage as part of their behavioral health benefits. Mental health conditions frequently co-occur with substance use disorders, and integrated treatment significantly improves outcomes. Horizon recognizes this connection and provides coverage for comprehensive mental health care.
Mental health conditions covered by Horizon include anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety), major depressive disorder and persistent depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma disorders, bipolar disorder and related mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge eating), and personality disorders.
Covered mental health services typically include psychiatric evaluation and diagnosis, individual psychotherapy using evidence-based approaches, medication management with psychiatric oversight, psychological testing when clinically indicated, intensive mental health programs, and crisis intervention.
Dual diagnosis treatment addressing co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders is typically covered by Horizon BCBS when medically necessary. Research consistently shows that treating both conditions simultaneously produces better outcomes than addressing either condition alone.
At Refine Recovery, our integrated dual diagnosis program provides comprehensive care from a multidisciplinary team. Many individuals with addiction also struggle with underlying depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health conditions. Substance use often begins as self-medication for psychiatric symptoms, while chronic drug or alcohol use can trigger or worsen mental health issues.
Our program includes comprehensive psychiatric assessment, individual therapy addressing both conditions, specialized dual diagnosis groups, medication management when appropriate, and coordinated treatment planning. Horizon’s utilization review process considers the medical necessity of integrated treatment. Our clinical documentation demonstrates the relationship between co-occurring conditions and the need for simultaneous treatment, ensuring appropriate authorization.
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield covers multiple levels of outpatient care, providing flexibility as individuals progress through recovery. Outpatient programs allow for structured treatment while maintaining certain responsibilities.
Horizon outpatient coverage includes:
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): Intensive treatment typically 5-6 days weekly, 6-8 hours per day
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): Structured programming usually 3-5 days per week, 3-4 hours per session
Standard Outpatient Counseling: Individual therapy sessions, typically weekly or bi-weekly
Group Therapy: Various therapeutic groups including process groups and skills training
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): FDA-approved medications combined with counseling
Family Therapy: Sessions involving family members in treatment Aftercare Services: Continuing care supporting long-term recovery
The specific duration and frequency of outpatient services depend on medical necessity and your Horizon plan. Our team coordinates with Horizon to secure authorization for appropriate treatment based on your clinical needs.
Understanding Horizon’s plan structure helps you navigate coverage:
Horizon offers various plan structures including HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) plans requiring primary care physician selection and referrals, PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans providing flexibility for out-of-network care, EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization) plans covering only in-network providers, and POS (Point of Service) plans combining HMO and PPO features.
Horizon participates in the BlueCard program, allowing members to access care nationwide through reciprocal agreements with other Blue Cross Blue Shield companies. This means Horizon members can often receive coverage for treatment at Refine Recovery in California. The specific coverage depends on your plan type, with PPO plans typically offering more flexibility for out-of-state care.
Your financial responsibility includes monthly premiums, annual deductibles (amounts paid before insurance coverage begins), copayments (fixed dollar amounts per service), coinsurance (percentage of costs after deductible), and out-of-pocket maximums (annual spending caps).
In-network care typically provides lower out-of-pocket costs, simplified authorization, pre-negotiated rates, and direct billing. Out-of-network care may be covered depending on plan type but usually involves higher cost-sharing.

You can contact Horizon member services using the number on your insurance card, log into Horizon’s online member portal to review benefits, or call Refine Recovery at (866) 890-9573 and let our admissions team verify your coverage.
