6th Degree Health may cover some or all addiction treatment costs and is in-network with The Recovery Village Atlanta.
When someone is struggling with addiction or co-occurring mental health disorders, treatment is medically necessary — not optional. Because of this, and due to federal protections like the Affordable Care Act and Mental Health Parity laws, many health plans must include coverage for evidence-based addiction treatment. If you’re insured with 6th Degree Health, you may have benefits that can significantly reduce the cost of detox, residential care, outpatient services and other behavioral health programs. This guide outlines how 6th Degree Health rehab coverage works, what services may be included, and how to quickly verify your benefits at The Recovery Village Atlanta.
6th Degree Health: Provider Overview
6th Degree Health is a cost-containment and specialty benefit management company that partners with employers, TPAs and health plans across the country. Rather than functioning like a traditional insurance carrier, 6th Degree Health focuses on transparent pricing, network optimization and customized benefit design. Many members access care through tailored networks, reference-based pricing agreements or specialized national networks for complex medical needs.
For behavioral health and substance use treatment, 6th Degree Health often coordinates access to facilities that meet specific quality and cost standards. This approach can improve affordability and give members access to reputable facilities such as The Recovery Village Atlanta. Your actual coverage depends on your employer’s plan design, any carve-out behavioral health networks, and whether your program uses reference-based pricing or a specific national PPO network.

6th Degree Health Plans and Coverage Structure
Because 6th Degree Health partners with employers and TPAs, plan details can vary significantly from one member to another. However, most plans fall into one of these structures:
- Reference-Based Pricing (RBP): Instead of relying on a set network, pricing is based on a percentage of Medicare rates, allowing members to access high-quality care with lower out-of-pocket expenses than many expect.
- Custom or Hybrid Networks: Employers may create a targeted network of trusted providers, including addiction treatment facilities with strong clinical outcomes.
- PPO Access: Some plans allow members to use national PPO networks, giving them flexible access to out-of-state or specialty behavioral health facilities.
Plans generally include deductibles, coinsurance requirements and maximum out-of-pocket limits. Because 6th Degree Health specializes in transparency and patient advocacy, many members benefit from predictable pricing and dedicated support for navigating benefits during treatment.
Does 6th Degree Health Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
In many cases, yes — 6th Degree Health may cover a portion or the full cost of medically necessary drug and alcohol rehab. Coverage depends on your employer plan but often includes multiple levels of care, such as:
- Medical detox (withdrawal management)
- Residential/inpatient treatment
- Partial hospitalization programs (PHP)
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Standard outpatient therapy
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
Before approving coverage, 6th Degree Health may evaluate medical necessity. This typically includes reviewing your substance use history, withdrawal risks, co-occurring mental health symptoms and previous treatment attempts. Clinical teams often reference ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) guidelines to determine the most appropriate level of care.
The Recovery Village Atlanta is in-network for many plans administered by 6th Degree Health, which can significantly lower your total treatment cost.
Does 6th Degree Health Cover Mental Health Services?
Yes. Mental health care must be covered comparably to medical and surgical benefits under federal parity laws. Since many people with addiction also experience anxiety, depression, PTSD or other mental health concerns, integrated treatment is essential.
Depending on your plan, 6th Degree Health may cover:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Psychiatric evaluation and follow-up
- Dual diagnosis treatment
- CBT, DBT and other evidence-based therapies
- Family therapy or family support programming
The Recovery Village Atlanta provides comprehensive dual diagnosis treatment, meaning both conditions are treated at the same time — an approach shown to improve long-term recovery outcomes.
Medication-Assisted Treatment and 6th Degree Health
Many patients benefit from medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of opioid or alcohol addiction recovery. MAT can reduce withdrawal symptoms, stabilize brain chemistry and decrease relapse risk. Your coverage for MAT will depend on the specifics of your plan, but medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone are often included under your pharmacy or medical benefit.
The Recovery Village Atlanta offers MAT when clinically appropriate and integrates medication support with counseling, behavioral therapy and long-term relapse prevention planning.
Treatment Duration With 6th Degree Health Coverage
The duration of treatment varies based on medical necessity and the level of care you enter. Many patients follow a full continuum of care, beginning with detox and transitioning through residential treatment, PHP, IOP and outpatient services.
At The Recovery Village Atlanta, the average total stay is approximately 40–72 days. Your actual coverage depends on:
- Your plan’s benefits and deductible
- Level of care recommended by clinical assessment
- Whether preauthorization is required
- Medical necessity as determined by ASAM criteria
- Your progress during treatment
6th Degree Health typically reviews each phase of treatment to ensure the level of care remains clinically appropriate. If additional days or a step-down level of care are recommended, your case manager can help coordinate approvals.
