Does Banner Cover Residential Treatment for Addiction?
In most cases, Banner insurance will cover residential treatment options for addiction, behavioral health, and mental health. Like all private and public insurance policies, Banner follows guidelines set by the Affordable Care Act. As part of this act, members of an insurance plan have access to essential health benefits including substance abuse treatment as well as support for behavioral and mental health disorders.
At Purpose Healing, with locations in Scottsdale and Phoenix, our residential services are provided to address addiction and include benefits like individual therapy, group therapy, nutritional services, a private room, recreational activities, and other benefits offered by the rehab facility you choose.
Does Banner Have Coverage for Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment?
Yes, Banner does offer coverage for outpatient programs and services for behavioral health.
Going further, Banner has a “feet on the street” approach that they use for treating at-risk clients. When applied to individuals struggling with substance abuse, addicts can get help when they need it most, not just during typical business hours.
How to Find Out if Addiction Treatment is Covered by Banner
Banner Behavioral Health will cover some type of addiction treatment. Like all insurance companies, policies must include mental health services, behavioral health treatment, and substance abuse treatment. These are considered essential services that policyholders are entitled to as part of the Affordable Care Act.
However, the type of addiction treatment covered may vary depending on your specific policy limits. The easiest way to find out exactly what addiction treatment services are covered under your insurance plan is to reach out to Purpose.
We can verify insurance coverage for our programs confidentially and quickly over the phone or you can fill out the convenient form on our website and have a team member reach out to you.
Why the Alcohol and Drug Rehab That You Choose Matters
You will not find the same level of care for detox, addiction treatment, and dual diagnosis treatment at every AZ rehab facility. The rehab that you choose for inpatient and outpatient services matters. A lot.
Researchers have started to understand addiction in recent decades and it is believed to be a chronic relapsing disorder of the brain. The effects that prolonged substance use has on the brain have lasting effects that make it difficult to quit. Additionally, even after completing rehab, there is a high risk of relapse if you do not follow through with aftercare support and commit to making lifestyle changes.
A potential example of this is Banner Behavioral Health Hospital in Arizona. While this facility is likely in-network as one of the hospitals owned by Banner Health, it does not offer the same level of comfort that you’ll find at Purpose. The ratings of our treatment facilities compared to Banner Behavioral Health Hospital and similar organizations also reflect that.
Purpose feels less like a hospital and more like a getaway. We offer private rooms, access to recreational areas like the gym, basketball court, and pool, and an environment that is generally more secure, comfortable, and inviting.
Additionally, our Scottsdale and Phoenix facilities are in-network for clients with Aetna, AHCCCS, TRICARE military insurance, Medicare insurance programs, and many other private insurance organizations.
What the Joint Accreditation of Purpose Healing Center Means
You can indeed find rehab facilities all over Arizona. However, not all of these treatment centers provide the same standard of care that you’ll find at Purpose Healing Center.
In healthcare, an accreditation from the Joint Commission means that a healthcare facility has met high standards of care. The Joint Commission checks areas like OSHA compliance, cleanliness, and safety for clients and staff members. They also assess programs offered at the treatment facility for quality and effectiveness.
In addition to our Joint Commission Accreditation, staff members at our Phoenix and Scottsdale facilities receive regular training on evidence-based practices and the newest information published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
As a client, you will learn the most effective treatments and therapies as part of inpatient or outpatient care. You will also be able to take advantage of program features and recreational activities like working out in the gym, taking part in meditation or yoga classes, or swimming in the onsite pool.
How We Support Our Clients Throughout the Treatment Process
At Purpose Healing Center, we offer support and resources for every part of the recovery process. As soon as you call us, one of our team members will help with insurance verification and setting up an intake appointment. We may even be able to arrange transportation to our Arizona treatment centers in Scottsdale and Phoenix as one of the leading rehabs that will pick you up in the Phoenix Valley.
In most cases, clients undergo an intake appointment or drug and alcohol assessment. During this intake appointment, you’ll be asked questions about your physical and mental health history, family relationships, alcohol and drug habits, and what treatments you’ve had in the past. Patients are always encouraged to be as honest as possible during this appointment. The goal is not to pass judgment or get clients in legal trouble. The information will be used to determine which therapies and program features will have the most benefit.
Getting Structured Support for Lasting Recovery Success
Patients working in an inpatient setting will attend therapy, participate in recreational activities and therapies, and learn life skills and habits like better nutrition and physical activity that will benefit them after treatment. They will also develop critical skills for combatting drug and alcohol cravings at home.
In addition to individual therapies that might include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectal behavioral therapy (DBT), or another specialized therapy, our clients attend group therapy or have therapy with family members. Working in a group setting has numerous benefits for addiction recovery and helps improve social skills while providing emotional support.
Finally, following treatment, clients are often referred to additional rehab or therapy services in AZ or near their local address. For individuals who need additional support, an intensive outpatient program, partial hospitalization program, or sober living facility may be recommended. During intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization programs, patients attend various activities and take part in group, individual, and family therapy for several hours each week while still working and sleeping at home.
With You Every Step of the Way: Outpatient Services at Every Level of Care
Adults who do not need this level of support and who have a good support system at home may be able to maintain sobriety using aftercare services. Rehab aftercare often includes attending some type of therapy, either in an individual or group setting, as well as connecting with support groups.
Drug and alcohol addiction support groups are an important part of recovery that can make addicts feel they are not alone. Before you leave our Arizona facility, our team at Purpose will be sure you have access to support groups in your area. We can even help you connect with specialized groups for women or individuals with family members struggling with addiction.
Understanding Banner Insurance Benefits for Rehab
Banner Insurance works across several states, including Arizona. While Banner is a medical system, it is affiliated with several healthcare companies including Aetna, Medicare, and University Health Plans. This flexibility allows patients to more easily access quality healthcare that is in-network and available at a lower cost to them.
The benefits of your healthcare plan are going to depend on the specific type of insurance that you carry. If you have a question about whether Banner will cover your rehab treatment in AZ, give us a call today. Purpose will quickly and easily verify insurance so that you can get care for alcohol or drug addiction sooner.

Do Banner Drug Rehab Programs at Purpose Offer Dual Diagnosis Treatment?
Yes, Banner behavioral health, mental health, and substance abuse benefits cover dual diagnosis treatment as part of your insurance plan. Essentially, dual diagnosis programs work best for individuals struggling with addiction and co-existing mental or behavioral health disorders. Addiction recovery is usually harder without both types of service.
Dual diagnosis treatment is an important part of recovery because there is a strong link between substance use disorders and mental illness. Individuals who abuse substances for a long time have a heightened risk of developing depression, anxiety, and other mental health symptoms.
Additionally, individuals who have an existing mental disorder or unresolved trauma may turn to smoking, drinking, or other substance abuse as a form of self-medication. During dual diagnosis treatment, clients will attend therapy, work with a psychiatrist, and learn better lifestyle habits to support overall health and wellness.
Does Banner Cover Medication-Assisted Treatment and Detox?
Yes, Banner will typically cover the costs of detox during rehab, as well as medication-assisted treatment. When you use substances long-term, your body becomes physically dependent on them. Withdrawing from drugs and alcohol causes discomfort but some withdrawal symptoms have the potential to be deadly.
Anything can happen while detoxing and Purpose allows patients to detox in a safe environment under around-the-clock medical supervision. Medications may be used to increase comfort and mitigate some of the more serious effects of withdrawal.
Medication-assisted detox may also be offered as a part of inpatient or outpatient services. This may include the use of Suboxone, Benzodiazepines, or similar medications. These reduce drug cravings and can be useful in the care of clients during the detox process. Generally, clients using medication to help with the withdrawal process must attend therapy at the same time.
Will Banner Pay for a Sober Living Facility in AZ?
In some cases, Banner will pay for a sober living facility in Arizona. Whether sober living is covered depends on the scope of your insurance plan, benefit caps, and what other rehab services you may have used over the year.
Sober living residences are an incredibly useful tool for clients in Arizona who may not be returning to the most supportive environment after addiction care. By following up inpatient treatment with sober living, addicts have a better chance of avoiding relapse after rehab. This also gives them time to improve friend and family relationships, continue work in therapy, and develop skills for when they leave the facility.
Will Banner Cover Mental Health Treatment and Prescriptions?
Yes, Banner helps adults in recovery pay for mental health treatment, including prescriptions. Mental health treatment often involves attending therapy and working with a psychiatrist, who may help with providing a diagnosis and providing prescriptions for treating mental health conditions that may occur alongside addiction. Individual therapy, group therapy, or family therapy may be recommended depending on a client’s specific needs.
Clients may also question if Banner will pay for mental health prescription costs. Banner does assist with these costs, benefitting individuals who need to receive treatment for bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, trauma, or other mental health conditions as part of their long-term sobriety plan.
