Wellmark BCBS
Wellmark BCBS plans provide coverage for substance use disorder and behavioral health treatment, including different levels of care depending on your specific plan, medical needs, deductible, and benefits. If you are a Ruan Transportation employee covered by Wellmark, the ThriveNow admissions team can help verify your benefits and explain what treatment services may be covered before you begin care.
Insurance benefits and coverage vary by individual plan. Verification of benefits does not guarantee coverage or payment.
For individuals who need a safe place to stabilize before entering treatment, our medical detox program provides round-the-clock clinical oversight, medication-supported comfort, and a controlled environment to help your body begin healing.
If opioids or alcohol are part of your struggle, Medication Assisted Treatment can reduce cravings, stabilize brain chemistry, and allow you to focus on long-term recovery.
Our residential treatment program provides a structured, supportive place. 24/7 staff, clinical programming, group therapy, individual therapy, and structured daily routines. Length of stay averages 28 days but is tailored based on your clinical needs.
Many employees at Ruan Transportation face challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or work-related stress. Our clinicians are trained in dual-diagnosis care, ensuring you receive integrated treatment that addresses both substance use and mental health together.
Recovery is easier when your support system understands the process. We offer education for loved ones, optional family involvement, and guidance to help repair relationships impacted by addiction. You are not doing this alone.
Returning to work after treatment can be a major milestone. We help you build a personalized plan that supports your transition back into daily life, including relapse-prevention tools, community programming, outpatient referrals, peer support groups, and strategies for maintaining balance in the workplace.

Testimonials
“Thrive now saved my life, before thrive I knew if I didn't get the help I needed I would die, I called them and they got me in the next day! Wonderful staff, great cook, this place is just a blessing. I highly suggest this place for anyone dealing with addiction. If you're ready to truly live again this is the place for you. I took my life back and walked out of there empowered, THRIVE NOW can help you thrive today!”
“This place is by far the best treatment center I’ve ever been to in my life! I’ve struggled with addiction since I was 15 years old and am now 52! I’ve been to 5 other inpatient facilities and countless outpatient treatment centers! The staff is amazing, all recovering addicts themselves speak from experience not from what a book has told them!! Which makes it easier and gives them much more credibility for a person like myself!”
“I was the first client through the doors at Thrive, and from day one, the staff made me feel truly cared for. They constantly checked in and made sure I had everything I needed. I wasn’t just a number—I was seen. The programming helped me reconnect with myself through meditation, yoga, and one-on-one counseling. I'm now in sober living, taking back my life. I owe this place the world.”
“My time at Thrive Now was a much different approach than i have experienced in the past. I found that the element of therapy is what really changed things for me. Also, my post treatment plan was based on my desire for change and what I want my life to look like. All the staff there are huge cheerleaders and allies with positive energy and as well as a calming force. I walk away as an "Active Agent" in my own life, placing myself first in my recovery journey.”
“After a 15-year battle, my dad finally found hope at ThriveNow. He’s been to other treatment centers, but this was the first place that made him feel human, worthy, and truly cared for. We’ve never seen him this positive—he believes in himself again. His words: ‘It’s different when you know people care.’ We got our dad back, and we owe it all to the incredible staff.”
“I was ThriveNow’s first detox patient, and I couldn’t be more grateful. After 25+ years of addiction, I didn’t believe 28 days could change anything—but this place proved me wrong. The staff, many of whom are in recovery themselves, showed me real care, patience, and support. From nursing to RSS to counselors, everyone believed in me—even when I didn’t believe in myself. ThriveNow changed my life, and I can’t wait to give back as part of the team someday.”
“I came to ThriveNow broken and full of fear—but from day one, the staff made me feel at home. Many are in recovery themselves, so they truly understand. The nursing team went above and beyond, and the dual diagnosis care was life-changing. The counselors and support staff genuinely care and helped me grow in ways I didn’t think were possible. I left with hope, a renewed sense of self, and the foundation for real recovery. ThriveNow helped save my life.”
