What does the first conversation cover?

It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Write down who you spoke to and what they committed to.

Does insurance pay for addiction treatment?

Addiction treatment sits alongside other medical benefits on most plans, so some coverage is the normal case. A center's billing office can often check a plan faster than the insurer's own line will. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
