Rehabs that take Highmark in Waco, TX

Highmark plans commonly include benefits for substance use and mental health treatment, often across medical detox, inpatient or residential rehab, PHP, IOP, standard outpatient care, and medication-assisted treatment.

Have your member ID card, your full name and date of birth, and a note of which levels of care you are asking about \u2014 detox, residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient, or MAT.
