You’ve tried to cut back. Maybe you’ve tried to quit. And you’re still here, still struggling, not because you’re weak, but because addiction is a medical condition, not a character flaw. Real recovery takes more than willpower. It takes the right support, at the right level, at the right time.

Signs You May Need Addiction Treatment

Addiction rarely announces itself all at once. If several of the following feel familiar, it may be time to reach out:

  • You’ve tried to cut back or quit and couldn’t
  • You need more of the substance to feel the same effect
  • Cravings are affecting your ability to work, parent, or maintain relationships
  • You’ve started lying or hiding use from people close to you
  • Withdrawal symptoms appear when you stop
  • You’re using despite knowing the consequences

You don’t have to hit a personal low to deserve help. If addiction is taking up space in your life that should belong to something else, that’s enough.

If you don’t see your specific substance listed, call us. We treat the full spectrum of substance use disorders.

Our Approach to Treatment

We treat the whole person, not just the substance. Our clinical team draws on a range of evidence-based approaches to address both addiction and the underlying factors that drive it:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) – identifies and reshapes the thought patterns that fuel addictive behavior
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – builds emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills
  • EMDR therapy – processes trauma that often underlies or co-occurs with substance use
  • 12-step facilitation – connects you to community-based recovery support
  • Relapse prevention planning – practical tools to manage triggers and reduce the risk of relapse
  • Trauma-informed care – addresses past trauma as part of the recovery process
  • Medication management – psychiatric support when appropriate

We also offer dual diagnosis treatment for clients navigating both addiction and a mental health condition at the same time, because treating one without the other rarely works.

Does Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?

In most cases, yes. Under federal law, insurance plans are required to cover substance use disorder treatment. Bold Steps Behavioral Health works with many major insurance providers, including Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Coverage varies depending on your plan, your level of care, and whether pre-authorization is required. The best way to find out what you’re covered for is to let us check for you at no cost and with no obligation.

How Much Does Addiction Treatment Cost?

The cost of addiction treatment depends on the level of care, the length of treatment, and your insurance coverage. Most clients at Bold Steps Behavioral Health pay little to nothing out of pocket because their insurance covers a significant portion of outpatient treatment.

We’ll check your benefits before you commit to anything. Call (717) 896-1880 or verify your insurance online. There’s no cost and no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an outpatient addiction treatment program?

An outpatient treatment program allows you to receive structured therapy and clinical support while continuing to live at home. Rather than staying overnight at a facility, you attend scheduled sessions ranging from a few hours per week to several hours per day, depending on the level of care.

Inpatient rehab requires you to live at the facility during treatment, which provides a high level of structure and removes you from your home environment. Outpatient rehab lets you return home each day while still receiving evidence-based treatment. Outpatient is appropriate for most people with moderate to severe addiction, particularly those with stable housing and a supportive home environment.

There is no single “most successful” approach: research consistently shows that personalized treatment, combining therapy, peer support, and when appropriate medication, produces the best outcomes. A key factor is level of care: being matched to the right intensity of support

Most insurance plans cover addiction treatment, including outpatient programs like PHP and IOP, under mental health and substance use disorder parity laws. Coverage depends on your specific plan. Contact us at (717) 896-1880 to verify your insurance at no cost.

It depends on the level of care and your individual progress. PHP typically runs 4–6 weeks. IOP commonly lasts 8–12 weeks. Outpatient (OP) can continue for several months as a step-down option. Your clinical team will reassess your needs regularly and adjust your plan accordingly.
