If you’re balancing work or family responsibilities and worried about treatment costs, outpatient rehab in network with COBRA insurance can be the solution you need. COBRA allows you to continue your employer’s group health benefits after leaving a job, covering substance use and mental health treatment as one of the 10 essential health benefits required by the Affordable Care Act [1]. At The Hope House, we partner with COBRA plans to help you access high-quality outpatient programs without gaps in coverage.
COBRA continuation coverage applies if you worked for an employer with 20 or more employees and experienced a qualifying event, such as job loss or reduced hours. You have 60 days to elect COBRA after receiving notice from your former employer or plan administrator [2]. Coverage can last:
Under COBRA, your in-network outpatient rehab services mirror those you had as an active employee. Coverage typically includes:
Your plan’s level determines copays, coinsurance, and deductibles, but you maintain the same provider networks and service access you enjoyed before.
With COBRA you pay the full premium plus up to a 2% administrative fee. While this cost can be higher than what you paid as an active employee, several factors may ease the burden:
Verifying your coverage before starting treatment helps you plan finances and avoid unexpected bills.
Outpatient levels of care let you attend treatment while living at home, continuing work, school, or family routines. The Hope House offers a spectrum of step-down programs designed to meet you where you are in your recovery.
These programs build on one another, providing flexibility and support as you progress.
A PHP delivers structured care five days a week, with 4–6 hours of therapy daily. It’s ideal if you need more intensive support than IOP but prefer living at home.
The IOP at The Hope House offers 9–12 hours of therapy per week in group and individual settings. Sessions typically occur in the evenings or early mornings, making it easier to maintain work or family commitments.
Once you’ve established coping skills, you transition to weekly individual or group counseling, medication management, and peer support. This level focuses on relapse prevention and long-term wellness.
Our PHP integrates evidence-based therapies, medical oversight, and peer support:
