We often hear the following questions from patients and families considering treatment. These questions and answers may help you reassure potential patients and families unsure about taking the first step.

Will my insurance cover treatment?

Desert Hope Treatment Center is in-network with many major providers. AAC’s admissions team can help you navigate insurance coverage when you call.

Will I be able to talk to my family and friends in treatment? What about visitors?

AAC facilities know the value of your personal support system and will work closely with you to determine who that is. Visitation, family sessions, and family education are unique to each facility. Staff will review policies with you once you select your facility.

What happens after I’m done with the program?

You’ll work with your treatment team on an aftercare plan to develop a new way of life after you leave their program.

Aftercare planning begins on day one. Whether your next step is a sober living facility, outpatient care, and/or a return to your family environment, Desert Hope’s team will help you ease into sober life according to your goals, budget, and unique situation.

Will I have to commit to treatment if I call to speak to an AAC facility?

No. The decision to enter addiction treatment is personal and one hundred percent yours to make. Conversations with AAC’s admissions navigators are confidential, private, and do not require a commitment.

What happens after I make the decision to enter treatment?

Once you have made the commitment to go rehab, the AAC team will take it from there. The team will handle your transportation planning, insurance, and more—the team can even help you arrange medical leave from work, so you can focus 100% on your recovery.

Treatment starts the moment you arrive at the facility. You will meet with your care team, who will establish your individualized treatment plan.
