Drug and alcohol addiction can negatively impact your health, mental wellness, relationships, and other aspects of your life. Heavy or prolonged substance abuse can change the way your brain and body function, making it very challenging to stop using addictive substances when you choose.
Although addiction can cause serious or life-threatening harm, most people with addiction do not seek treatment to overcome it. Concerns about affording treatment may keep people from getting help when they need it.
Fortunately, public and private health insurance programs must cover some or all of the costs associated with substance abuse treatment. If you are in Florida and have Florida Community Care health insurance, your insurance may cover your treatment.

- What types of treatment insurance may cover
- How to verify the details of your health insurance plan
- How to find a treatment center that accepts Florida Community Care insurance
