• The treatment of chemical dependency is treated like other illnesses. There's no negative stigma attached to its treatment. This is good because it means you aren't treated any differently than someone with a flu bug.
• For Mountain Health Co-Op to cover drug rehab in Idaho, it must be pre-approved. You can't just suddenly decide to show up at an addiction treatment center one day and expect them to pay for that.

• The drug detox facility in Idaho (or drug rehab) must be licensed or approved as a treatment center by the Department of Public Health and Human Services or the state.
• Mountain Health Co-Op pays out benefits for substance abuse treatment when the treatment is at a hospital, given by a physician or is a freestanding inpatient facility licensed and approved by the Department of Public Health and Human Services.
