ObamaCare's Affordable Care Act, now recognizes substance abuse as one of the ten elements of essential health related benefits. This means insurance companies have to provide coverage for addiction related treatments.
If treatment is needed and money or lack of health insurance delays or stops you from doing so, You should immediately go to the government's new website healthcare.gov
It is a pretty easy web site to navigate through. A few basic questions and you will find what policy's you are eligible for. The reason I stress the importance of doing this immediately is open enrollment closes March 31,2014. You can also avoid stiff tax penalties by signing up before this open enrollment ends along with getting quality coverage and being in full compliance with the law.
Once signed up you can now begin your search for the best treatment available in your area that will help lead you to a clean and sober life.
If you have loved ones in your life that are affected by your substance issues inform them to also sign up as there is help available as well.
With the new Affordable Care Act now there is no excuse to get help and begin your new life.
I will be soon posting information on treatment centers available in Monroe County.
