Using Your Allied Trades Assistance Program Benefits for Your Child’s Treatment
Financial stress should never be a barrier to getting the help your child needs. For families covered under Community Health Options, your insurance benefits can significantly reduce — or in many cases fully eliminate — the cost of adolescent mental health treatment. Understanding what your plan covers is one of the most important early steps in beginning your child’s healing journey, and our team is here to make that process as clear and straightforward as possible.
Our dedicated admissions coordinators work directly with Community Health Options to verify your specific benefits, identify covered services, and explain any out-of-pocket costs upfront — so you can focus on getting your child the care they need rather than navigating the complexities of insurance on your own.
Adolescent Mental Health Programs Covered By Community Health Options Insurance
Community Health Options coverage commonly extends across a broad range of adolescent mental health services, from intensive crisis stabilization through longer-term therapeutic support. Specific benefits are determined by your individual plan and medical necessity, but the following levels of care are typically available under this coverage:
Crisis Stabilization & Assessment
Crisis stabilization is the essential first step when your adolescent is experiencing acute mental health challenges. It encompasses three critical phases: thorough clinical evaluation, medically supervised stabilization, and a carefully planned transition into continued care. At our facility, your child receives 24/7 monitoring, evidence-based therapeutic support, and appropriate psychiatric intervention throughout the stabilization process — all designed to ensure safety and emotional regulation while preparing them for the next stage of their healing journey. Crisis stabilization is typically covered under Community Health Options insurance plans.
Residential Treatment
For many adolescents, healing from significant mental health or behavioral challenges requires the focused structure and intensive support that only residential care can provide. Treatment stays typically range from 30 to 90 days based on clinical need and plan parameters, offering the time and immersive environment necessary to address the root causes of distress, build essential coping skills, and establish a solid foundation for lasting wellness. Community Health Options coverage is often available for this level of care when clinically indicated.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
A Partial Hospitalization Program delivers structured, high-intensity therapeutic programming during daytime hours while allowing your child to return home each evening. These programs bring together individual therapy, group counseling, psychiatric support, and family sessions in a coordinated treatment model. Community Health Options typically covers PHP services when medically necessary, and our team can verify your specific eligibility and assist with any required prior authorization.

coverage and take the first step toward recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
An Intensive Outpatient Program serves as a vital bridge between full-time residential treatment and traditional outpatient services. Designed for adolescents who need substantial therapeutic support while maintaining school and daily responsibilities, IOP meets multiple times per week for several hours per session. This flexible structure allows your child to immediately apply coping skills within their real-world environments. Our team will work with your Community Health Options plan to determine whether IOP coverage is available for your child’s specific situation.
Outpatient Programs
Traditional outpatient programs provide flexible, ongoing mental health support that can be shaped around school, extracurricular activities, and family commitments. These programs combine scheduled individual therapy with group counseling sessions, typically meeting multiple times weekly to ensure consistent progress and accountability. Community Health Options broadly covers outpatient services, and we can verify your benefits and connect your child with the appropriate level of care.
Virtual Treatment
Virtual mental health treatment has become an increasingly important component of modern adolescent care, and Community Health Options has expanded its coverage to include telehealth and remote treatment options. Virtual programming — including individual therapy sessions, group support, and digital wellness resources — maintains the same clinical rigor as in-person care while offering greater flexibility and accessibility for families who may face geographic, logistical, or scheduling barriers to attending in person.
Aftercare Programs
Sustained mental wellness extends well beyond the completion of primary treatment. Aftercare services — including alumni programming, ongoing therapy, progress monitoring, and community-based resources — are a critical component of long-term success. These ongoing supports are designed to reinforce the skills built during treatment, identify emerging challenges early, and provide consistent encouragement throughout your child’s ongoing healing journey. Community Health Options typically offers coverage for these essential continuing care services.
Is Mental Health Treatment Covered By Community Health Options Insurance?
Community Health Options provides comprehensive mental health coverage that addresses co-occurring disorders, psychiatric care, and a wide variety of therapeutic interventions. For adolescents navigating both behavioral challenges and mental health conditions simultaneously, integrated treatment that addresses both issues at the same time produces significantly stronger and more durable outcomes than treating each in isolation.
Co-Occurring Mental Health & Behavioral Disorders
Mental health and behavioral conditions frequently occur together in adolescents and can reinforce one another in ways that make both harder to address independently. Community Health Options plans are required to provide comprehensive coverage for co-occurring disorders, and our specialized dual diagnosis programs deliver coordinated treatment that targets both behavioral and mental health conditions concurrently. Our team will work directly with your plan to maximize your benefits for this type of integrated care.
Psychiatric Services
Psychiatric care is a cornerstone of effective adolescent mental health treatment. Access to comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, accurate diagnostic formulation, and ongoing medication management through licensed child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners ensures that all dimensions of your child’s mental health receive the specialized attention they require. Community Health Options plans provide robust mental health coverage at parity with medical benefits.
Coverage Options Made Simple
Therapy & Counseling
Community Health Options offers substantial coverage for therapy and counseling services addressing a broad range of emotional, behavioral, and psychological health needs in adolescents. Whether the focus is individual psychotherapy with a licensed clinician or structured group counseling, qualified therapists deliver evidence-based approaches — including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-focused therapy, and family systems therapy — tailored to your child’s specific developmental stage and treatment goals.
Clinical & Psychological Assessments
Effective treatment planning begins with accurate, thorough clinical assessment. Comprehensive diagnostic workups — including standardized psychological testing, psychiatric evaluations, behavioral screening instruments, and integrated mental health assessments — ensure that your child receives a detailed clinical picture that precisely identifies treatment needs, establishes measurable baseline functioning, and guides targeted intervention strategies throughout care. These assessments are typically fully covered under Community Health Options insurance.
