When you’re insured through Beacon Health Options, you want clear answers about whether alcohol detox Beacon insurance covers the detoxification and treatment services you need. This guide explains what services are typically included, how cost sharing works, the prior authorization process, and how to confirm your benefits before admission. At Kemah Palms Recovery, we accept Beacon Health Options and deliver comprehensive care and a supportive environment tailored to your needs.
Understanding your coverage
Beacon Health Options network
Your Beacon plan connects you with a nationwide network of more than 105,000 behavioral health and wellness providers, including many of the 31,000 rehab facilities in the United States. By choosing an in-network center like Kemah Palms Recovery, you maximize your benefits and reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
- In-network providers: 105,000+
- Rehab facilities: 31,000

Mental health parity law
Thanks to federal mental health parity requirements, insurers must cover behavioral health conditions on par with physical illnesses. As a result, your coverage for alcohol detox and rehabilitation mirrors that of other serious medical conditions. You’re not alone: in 2020, the SAMHSA National Helpline received 833,598 calls—a 27 percent increase over 2019.SAMHSA
Inpatient detox benefits

Cost sharing
Once you meet your deductible, Beacon Health Options generally covers most inpatient detox costs. Your coinsurance depends on your plan, but many members pay around 10% to 20% of the allowed amount:
- Deductible: varies by plan
- Coinsurance: typically 10%–20%
- Out-of-pocket maximum: applies
Coverage also extends to residential rehab under the same cost-sharing rules. Learn more at alcohol rehab Beacon accepted.
Outpatient rehab options
Typical programs
If your withdrawal symptoms are mild to moderate, outpatient programs let you receive treatment while maintaining daily responsibilities. Common services include:
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Standard outpatient therapy
- Group counseling and education
- Medication-assisted treatment
Most of these services are covered by Beacon when delivered in-network [1].
Cost and coinsurance
Beacon Health Options often applies a lower coinsurance rate—around 5%—for outpatient care once you meet your deductible. However, therapy delivered outside a licensed facility is not covered.
- Coinsurance: ~5%
- Deductible: varies
- In-network providers only
Emphasize that choosing an accredited outpatient program ensures you receive the support necessary for lasting recovery.
