Most Green Bay alcohol rehabs and drug rehabs accept multiple forms of payment including self-pay, private insurance, and public insurance. Some can also work with you on an affordable payment plan if you need the cost of your treatment program broken down into manageable monthly payments.

A handful of local treatment facilities also offer discounted and free rehab programs for persons with limited financial resources. If you’re searching for a low-cost or free treatment program, consider looking into the following types of rehab facilities in and near Green Bay:

Paying for Rehab With Private Health Insurance

If you have a private health insurance plan (Marketplace plan, employer-sponsored plan, etc.), it should partially or fully cover drug or alcohol rehab in Green Bay. However, you must select a treatment center that’s in network with your insurance to use your coverage. Keep in mind, too, that your plan likely has coverage stipulations and limits, which determine how much it will pay and which services it will pay for.

If you’re not sure what your plan’s benefits look like, call the number on the back of your insurance card to get a breakdown of your coverage. You can also ask for a list of in-network treatment facilities where you can use your plan.

Paying for Addiction Treatment With Medicaid or Medicare

Both Medicare and Wisconsin Medicaid can cover several “medically necessary” addiction treatment services. These services include:^{7, 8}

• Inpatient treatment
• Outpatient rehab programs (PHP, IOP, and SOP)
• Individual and group therapy or counseling
• Medications for alcohol- and opioid-use disorders
• Screenings and assessments

If you’re a beneficiary of one or both of these plans, you can use your insurance to pay for treatment at Medicare- or Medicaid-approved Green Bay drug rehabs or alcohol rehabs. Within 25 miles of the city, you’ll find nine treatment centers that take Medicaid and another six that accept Medicare.⁶

To find these facilities, you can perform an online search for “alcohol rehabs near me,” or “drug rehabs near me.” Once you have a list of local rehab centers, call each one to ask about Medicaid or Medicare coverage and available treatment services.
