Jaywalker Admissions

The appropriate Jaywalker candidate is an adult male who is motivated to recover and willing to follow suggestions.

Clients must be active and healthy enough to participate in various mountain wilderness activities. All candidates will undergo a pre-admission assessment interview. Jaywalker asks that each client commit to a minimum of 90 days; although for some clients, a longer length of stay may be indicated for maximum therapeutic benefit. Typically, clients have had previous failed recovery attempts. Many have a basic understanding of the 12-Step Program.

We accept those with a concurrent mental health condition if it does not preclude their ability to participate and follow program expectations.

To learn more about the admissions process, insurance, and costs please call to speak with a Jaywalker staff member at 1 (866) 445-1269.

Insurance FAQs

Does My Plan Cover Drug Rehabilitation?

Many insurance plans do have out-of-network benefits that can cover some of the cost of treatment services. They will even cover the assessment for the severity of your addiction as well as preventative care. However, not all providers cover extensive inpatient treatment.

How Much is My Deductible?

A deductible is the amount of money you are responsible for paying out of pocket before your insurance coverage covers the cost. This amount varies in relation to your specific plan. In most cases, more expensive plans offer lower deductibles.

What length of treatment does my plan cover?

Each of our clients is unique and receives specialized care for their specific situation. In some cases, treatment programs may last a few weeks, others may last several months. The number of days each insurance carrier will authorize depends on your journey.

Does Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?

If your policy has out-of-network substance abuse benefits then yes, Jaywalker will work with your insurance carrier to get as many days authorized as possible.

What Is Out-of-Network?

Jaywalker is considered out-of-network for all insurance providers. What that means is that we have not agreed to accept the negotiated rate set by our clients’ insurance providers.

Does Jaywalker Provide Insurance Verification?

Yes, our admissions coordinators will assist you with verification. The insurance verification process does not require any commitment to Jaywalker and there is no cost for this service. We will verify your insurance policy, and discuss the benefits and cost with you directly before any admission.

Does Jaywalker Accept Medicare or Medicaid?

No, at this time, Jaywalker is not set up to work with Medicare or Medicaid.

What is the Affordable Care Act

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was signed into law in March 2010 to make health insurance more affordable and accessible. In addition to making health insurance easily accessible, the Affordable Care Act also helped expand the Medicaid program.

For those dealing with substance abuse and addiction, the Affordable Care Act has made it so our clients cannot be denied insurance coverage, no matter what pre-existing conditions they may have, including substance abuse disorder and mental health conditions.

With affordable healthcare insurance being more accessible than ever, so is addiction treatment. Clients who may not have had access to health insurance in the past can now come to Jaywalker knowing they can get the help that they need while also using their out-of-network benefits.

What is the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act?

The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act ensures that insurance providers must offer the same level of care for mental health conditions and substance use disorders as they do for other medical concerns.

PRE-ADMISSIONS INTERVIEW

Potential clients will have a pre-admission interview with one of our admissions team members before being cleared for intake. This interview is designed to help determine the appropriateness of the Jaywalker program.

What We Assess

We assess motivation for recovery and physical ability to participate in our program model. We need any information about previous treatment and legal history to be able to assess our ability to help in each case. This is also an opportunity to interview us and determine for yourself if you are ready for the level and style of treatment we have created over the years.

Interviews are scheduled and can be done via phone, video chat, or in person. Interviews can take place on short notice when needed to facilitate a safe transition into the program, and it is preferred that they happen early in the inquiry process.
