Mines & Associates may provide coverage for drug and alcohol rehab, detox, outpatient programs, mental health treatment, and employee assistance services — but your benefits depend on your employer plan and medical-necessity review.
If your employer or insurance documents reference Mines & Associates, you may be unsure how much addiction treatment is covered or how to verify benefits. This guide explains how Mines & Associates rehab coverage generally works, what services may be included, how medical necessity impacts approval, and how to confirm your benefits for treatment at Orlando Recovery Center.
Important: Mines & Associates is a behavioral health management and employee assistance program (EAP) provider. Your underlying health insurance plan — not Mines — determines deductibles, coinsurance, and long-term coverage. Mines helps coordinate access to therapy, mental health care, EAP benefits, and substance use treatment.

Mines & Associates overview
Mines & Associates provides behavioral health management, employee assistance programs (EAP), and mental health resources for employers across the U.S. They help coordinate access to therapy, substance use treatment, psychiatric care, and crisis support.
New Year. Real Recovery.
The pressures of the season are real. Find lasting peace and expert support.
Mines typically works in three ways:
- EAP Services: Short-term counseling at no cost to employees
- Behavioral Health Management: Coordinating coverage for addiction and mental health treatment
- Network Assistance: Helping members find in-network providers
However, Mines does not determine your deductible, cost-sharing, or total coverage — those come from your employer-sponsored insurance plan.
Does Mines & Associates cover drug and alcohol rehab?
Mines & Associates often provides access to treatment for individuals with substance use disorders. Coverage varies depending on the employer’s underlying insurance plan and whether services are deemed medically necessary.
Many employer plans that use Mines include coverage for:
- Detoxification services
- Inpatient and residential treatment
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
- Outpatient therapy and counseling
- Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
Some individuals begin care using their EAP benefits for initial sessions before transitioning to continued treatment through insurance.
Levels of care Mines-supported plans may cover
Mines & Associates may authorize or coordinate multiple levels of care depending on clinical needs.
Medical Detox
Detox is usually covered when medically necessary for withdrawal from substances such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids. Prior authorization is typically required to begin detox in an inpatient setting.
Inpatient / Residential Rehab
Residential treatment provides 24/7 care, therapy, medical monitoring, and recovery support. Mines may approve residential rehab when outpatient care is insufficient or when the individual requires a structured environment for safety and stabilization.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP involves full-day treatment without overnight stays. It may be authorized as a step-down from residential treatment or as an initial level of care depending on medical necessity.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP includes several sessions per week and focuses on therapy, relapse-prevention skills, and group counseling. Mines may approve IOP for individuals who need structured care but do not require 24-hour supervision.
Standard Outpatient Therapy
This includes one-on-one therapy, group counseling, and family support sessions. Outpatient services may be used for long-term recovery or relapse prevention.
How Mines determines coverage: medical necessity & authorization
Mines & Associates uses medical necessity guidelines to determine whether a level of care is appropriate. Many employer plans using Mines reference The ASAM Criteria when evaluating treatment needs.
During the review process, Mines may gather information about:
- Substance type, use patterns, and frequency
- Withdrawal symptoms and risk factors
- Past treatment history or recent relapse episodes
- Co-occurring mental or physical health conditions
- Safety concerns such as overdose risk
- Home stability and social support
- Ability to function in daily life
If a level of care is not approved initially, your provider may request peer-to-peer review, submit more documentation, or appeal the decision.
EAP vs. insurance coverage with Mines
Mines is well known for its Employee Assistance Program services. EAP coverage differs from insurance in key ways:
- EAP provides short-term counseling (often 3–6 sessions)
- No cost to the employee for EAP services
- EAP is not long-term treatment but may help with early stabilization
- Insurance begins when treatment exceeds the EAP session limit
Many people begin the process through EAP and transition into covered addiction treatment afterward.
What affects your out-of-pocket cost with Mines?
Your employer’s insurance plan determines your total cost for treatment. Mines & Associates helps coordinate benefits but does not set your deductible or copay structure.
- Deductible: What you pay before insurance coverage begins
- Copays and coinsurance: Your share of covered services
- Out-of-pocket maximum: The yearly limit on costs
- In-network vs. out-of-network rules
- Whether EAP applies first
Some plans offer out-of-network benefits, while others restrict coverage to in-network providers only.
Dual-diagnosis treatment and Mines
Many individuals seeking addiction treatment also experience mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or bipolar disorder. Mines-administered plans often include coverage for integrated dual-diagnosis treatment.
- Psychiatric assessment
- Medication management
- Therapy for co-occurring conditions
- Integrated addiction and mental health programming
Dual-diagnosis care may be considered medically necessary when mental health symptoms impact recovery stability.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) coverage
Mines-supported plans often cover MAT medications depending on the underlying pharmacy benefits. Coverage may include:
- Buprenorphine/naloxone
- Naltrexone (oral or extended-release injection)
- Methadone through certified clinics
- Medications for alcohol use disorder
Prior authorization may apply depending on the medication and plan.
