BridgeSpan Health

Yes, Bridgespan Health plans typically include coverage for medication‑assisted treatment (MAT) when deemed medically necessary. MAT combines FDA‑approved medications like buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone with counseling and behavioral therapies, delivering a “whole‑patient” approach shown to sustain recovery and reduce relapse risk. MAT is similar to medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), but is part of a broader framework that includes other forms of treatment, while MOUD is focused solely on medication. 

Coverage specifics such as copays, prior authorization, or duration are likely to vary by plan. We can confirm your Bridgespan benefits before treatment.

Absolutely. Dual diagnosis treatment addresses both substance use disorders and mental health conditions at the same time, offering more effective outcomes than treating each separately. While plan details vary, many members can access comprehensive dual diagnosis care, including therapy, medication, and support in coordinated treatment settings.

This depends on your specific plan. Many Bridgespan Health plans don’t require a referral for behavioral health or addiction treatment, offering greater flexibility in choosing providers. However, some plans may require a referral or prior authorization. To avoid unexpected delays or costs, it’s best to check directly with Bridgespan Health or with our admissions team, and we can help you verify your requirements quickly and confidentially.

Yes, many people continue working while using their Bridgespan Health drug rehab benefits, especially if they’re participating in outpatient care. Bridgespan typically covers IOPs and OPs, which are purposely designed to have flexible schedules that allow you to maintain employment, attend school, or care for your family. Our OP program involves 3-hour group therapy sessions 1 to 2 times per week, for example.

These levels of care often offer therapy sessions and group counseling during evenings or on select weekdays, giving you the structure of recovery support without disrupting your work responsibilities. In fact, continuing to work can be a good thing as it might offer a sense of purpose and stability that complements your recovery process. If you’re unsure how to balance both, we can help you choose the best level of care based on your needs and lifestyle.  

Bridgespan Health typically covers treatment for a wide range of substance use disorders when medically necessary. This includes alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder (including heroin and prescription painkillers), stimulant use (such as methamphetamine or cocaine), benzodiazepine use, and misuse of prescription medications. Your exact coverage will depend on the specifics of your plan, but most include evidence-based treatment options like therapy and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). 

Covered mental health services may include individual therapy, psychiatric evaluations, group counseling, and therapy for specific conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and trauma-related disorders. These therapies are often integrated into substance use treatment plans, especially in programs like those offered at Rebuilt Treatment & Recovery. 

Bridgespan Health may not directly pay for housing or transportation costs, but that doesn’t mean you’re on your own. At Rebuilt Treatment & Recovery, we recognize that several services, including stable housing and reliable transportation, are key to staying engaged in your recovery. We provide clients with referrals and assistance connecting to sober living environments, transitional housing, and transportation support whenever possible. If getting to and from treatment is a concern, our case managers may be able to help you arrange rides or access public transit resources. While not billable through Bridgespan in most cases, these services are part of our commitment to provide support that extends beyond therapy.
