When you’re seeking dual diagnosis treatment that accepts Select Health insurance, navigating the details of your benefits can feel overwhelming. At Phoenix Recovery Center, our goal is to make this process as transparent and supportive as possible. We recognize that finding a clinically accredited facility offering comprehensive care for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders is a critical step toward lasting recovery.
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 17 million adults in the United States have both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time [1]. Addressing these dual diagnoses requires specialized programs, evidence-based therapies, and seamless coordination with your insurance plan. Whether you carry Tricare West, United Healthcare, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Select Health, or coverage through U of U HMHI Behavioral Health Network, you deserve a supportive environment and individualized plans that honor your unique challenges.

Review coverage basics
Understanding how behavioral health benefits work is your first step. Federal laws and regulations ensure that mental health and substance abuse services receive fair treatment under most insurance plans.
Essential health benefits under ACA
Under the Affordable Care Act, health insurance policies must cover a set of ten essential benefits, including mental health and substance use services. Pre-existing conditions like addiction or depression cannot be excluded, and lifetime or annual dollar limits on these benefits are prohibited [2]. This framework guarantees that if your plan is ACA-compliant, you have access to:
- Professional evaluations and diagnostic assessments
- Inpatient and outpatient rehab programs
- Medication management
- Counseling and therapy sessions
Mental health parity protections
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires insurers to provide mental health and substance abuse benefits on par with medical and surgical care. In practice, this means:
- Copays and deductibles for behavioral health cannot exceed those for physical health
- No stricter treatment limits or prior-authorization hurdles than medical services
- Coverage of co-occurring disorder treatment, addressing both conditions simultaneously
These safeguards give you the confidence that your plan will support integrated treatment rather than forcing you to navigate multiple benefits schedules.
Insurance tiers overview
Most plans structure behavioral health coverage into levels of care based on treatment intensity and duration. Familiarizing yourself with each tier helps you match your clinical needs to the right program:
| Level of care | Setting | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Residential treatment | 24-hour live-in facility | 30–90 days |
| Partial hospitalization program | Day treatment at a clinic | 4–6 hours daily, 5 days/week |
| Intensive outpatient program (IOP) | Evening or daytime sessions | 9–20 hours weekly |
| Dual diagnosis program | Integrated into any level of care | Based on individual plan |
Compare levels of care
Each level of care offers a distinct balance of structure and flexibility. Your clinician will recommend the appropriate intensity, but understanding your options empowers you to advocate for the services you need.
Residential treatment
In a residential setting, you live on-site for continuous clinical supervision, peer support, and structured activities. This immersive environment helps you:
- Break free from triggers and unhealthy environments
- Engage in group therapy, individual counseling, and holistic modalities
- Establish routines that support long-term recovery
Phoenix Recovery Center offers a supportive environment where you can focus entirely on healing without outside distractions.
Partial hospitalization program
PHP bridges the gap between inpatient care and outpatient work. You spend full days at our facility—typically four to six hours—participating in therapies before returning home each evening. Benefits include:
- Intensive therapy comparable to inpatient care
- Opportunity to apply coping skills in real-world settings nightly
- Collaborative treatment planning with counselors and medical staff
Intensive outpatient program
IOP provides a step down from PHP, offering nine to twenty hours of therapy per week. You retain most of your daily routines—work, school, or family life—while receiving:
- Targeted group and individual therapies
- Medication management and case coordination
- Peer support in a flexible schedule
Dual diagnosis care
When mental health and substance use disorders intersect, integrated treatment is essential. A dual diagnosis program addresses both conditions simultaneously through:
- Co-occurring disorder assessments and individualized care plans
- Cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and medication-assisted treatment
- Support necessary for lasting recovery by treating the root causes of addiction
