Insurance Coverage for Mental Health and Addiction Treatment

People with mental illness often have trouble finding treatment and ways to pay for it. Mental health parity laws encourage health insurance plans to treat individuals with mental health issues the same way as they treat individuals with physical health issues. New laws protect access to addiction or mental health care. So, it is likely your health insurance company will approve and pay for the services you need.
