Read moreUnderstanding Your Union Benefits & EAP
Straight answers to the questions union members actually ask — quietly, at night, when nobody is watching.
Does my union insurance cover addiction treatment in Nevada?
Most union health and welfare plans include substance use treatment benefits. Federal parity law requires health plans to cover addiction and mental health treatment comparably to other medical care. Exact coverage varies by plan and trust fund, so we verify your specific benefits for free — one confidential call to (725) 550-5655.
Can I use my EAP for addiction or mental health treatment?
Usually, yes. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) provide confidential assessment and referrals for substance use and mental health concerns, and can connect you with treatment covered by your health plan. You can also contact us directly — using your EAP is optional, not required.
Is contacting BetterChoice confidential?
Completely. Your call, your assessment, and your treatment records are protected by federal law — and substance use records carry extra protection (42 CFR Part 2) beyond standard medical privacy. Your employer and your union are not notified.
Do I have to tell my employer or union that I am going to treatment?
No. If you want job-protected leave under FMLA, some paperwork identifies a medical leave — but not the diagnosis, and your employer cannot legally demand the details. Many members simply use accrued leave or schedule treatment during time off.
Can my spouse or family member use my union benefits for treatment?
Family members covered as dependents on your health plan can typically use the same substance use benefits. We verify dependent coverage for free, and our couples program allows partners to attend treatment together.
What happens when I call?
A confidential conversation with an admissions specialist — no obligation. We listen, answer questions, verify your benefits at no cost, and if you decide to move forward, we can often admit you the same day, 24/7.
How do I verify my benefits?
Call (725) 550-5655 or use our online verification form. We contact your plan directly, confirm your coverage for detox and residential treatment, and explain any out-of-pocket costs in plain language — free, confidential, and with no commitment.
BetterChoice Treatment Center is an independent, licensed treatment provider. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by any labor union. Whether your specific plan covers treatment with us depends on your benefits — which we verify for free before you make any decision.
