Addiction treatment coverage is available under the Kaiser Permanente Health Plan; however, covered services vary based on your health insurance plan.

Your doctor can verify your symptoms and refer you to a Kaiser Permanente drug rehab or Kaiser Permanente alcohol rehab or another specialized treatment center. You can also reach out to our admissions navigators at to learn more about what your Kaiser plan can cover and to obtain additional information and support.
