The American Medical Association sees drug and alcohol addiction as medical conditions that are diagnosable as well as treatable. As a result of this definition and their classification as substance use disorders, health insurance must cover these types of conditions under their treatment plans for those holding their policies.
In many cases, insurance plans cover the cost of addiction and mental health treatment 100 percent.
