When someone is ready to seek help for substance use, the last thing they should have to worry about is whether treatment will be covered by their insurance.
Questions about cost and coverage are among the most common reasons people delay getting help. For many Iowa families, uncertainty around insurance can feel overwhelming during an already difficult time.
That is why ThriveNow Recovery Centers is proud to announce that we are now in-network with Wellmark, making it easier for eligible members to access compassionate, evidence-based addiction treatment close to home.
Whether you are exploring treatment for yourself, supporting a loved one, or helping an employee find care, understanding your insurance benefits is an important first step. Our team is here to help you understand your options and guide you through the process.
Making the decision to seek treatment takes courage. Navigating insurance should not make that decision harder.
Being in-network with Wellmark means eligible members may have access to addiction treatment at a lower out-of-pocket cost than they would with an out-of-network provider. While every insurance plan is different, working with an in-network treatment center can simplify the admissions process and allow individuals and families to focus on what matters most: beginning recovery.
At ThriveNow, our admissions team helps verify benefits, answer questions about coverage, and guide each person through their treatment options before care begins.
Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Every person’s experience with substance use is different, which is why treatment should be personalized to meet their unique needs.
At ThriveNow Recovery Centers, eligible Wellmark members have access to a full continuum of care, including:
From the first conversation through ongoing recovery, our goal is to provide compassionate care that helps individuals build a foundation for lasting change.
Insurance coverage is only one piece of the recovery journey. Practical barriers, such as transportation, uncertainty about the admissions process, or concerns about stepping away from daily responsibilities, can also prevent people from reaching out for help.
At ThriveNow, we are committed to making treatment as accessible as possible. Our admissions team works quickly to answer questions, verify benefits, and help individuals understand their next steps. We also provide transportation assistance for those who need support getting to one of our Iowa locations.
When someone is ready for treatment, every day matters. Our focus is on helping people access the care they need without unnecessary delays.
One of the things that makes ThriveNow different is the people who support you throughout the recovery process.
Many members of our team are in long-term recovery themselves. Alongside experienced clinicians and medical professionals, they bring compassion, understanding, and hope to every interaction.
We believe recovery begins with connection. By combining evidence-based treatment with lived experience, we create an environment where individuals feel supported, respected, and empowered to rediscover purpose.
Expanding access to treatment does not just benefit individuals. It strengthens families, workplaces, and communities.
With ThriveNow now in-network with Wellmark, Iowa employers have another trusted resource they can share with employees who may be struggling with substance use. Access to timely treatment can help individuals begin recovery sooner while supporting their overall health and well-being.
Our outreach team partners with employers, HR professionals, and community organizations to provide educational resources, answer questions about treatment, and help connect individuals with care.
The first step toward recovery often b egins with a conversation.
If you have Wellmark insurance and are considering treatment for yourself or someone you love, our admissions team can verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and help you understand your options. All conversations are confidential, and our team is here to provide guidance without pressure.
Recovery is possible, and you do not have to navigate it alone.
