Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is essential in medical detox for several reasons. First, it eases withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings, making the detox process more bearable and helping individuals resist relapse during early recovery. Second, MAT enhances safety by providing medical supervision, which minimizes the risk of severe withdrawal complications, and allows for individualized treatment plans tailored to each person’s needs. Finally, MAT facilitates a smoother transition to ongoing treatment and can effectively address co-occurring mental health disorders, significantly improving the chances of long-term recovery.
After completing detox, individuals often move into various levels of care and support to further their recovery. Here’s a breakdown of the typical next steps:
1. Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Structure: PHP offers intensive support while allowing individuals to return home in the evenings. It typically involves several hours of therapy each day, including individual and group sessions.
Focus: The goal is to stabilize mental health, develop coping strategies, and prepare for lower levels of care.
2. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Structure: IOP provides a flexible schedule with several hours of therapy per week, allowing individuals to maintain work or school commitments while receiving treatment.
Focus: This phase reinforces the skills learned in PHP and provides ongoing support as individuals begin to reintegrate into daily life.
Structure: Our outpatient rehab program is less intensive, usually involving weekly therapy sessions. It’s suitable for those who have established a solid foundation in recovery.
Focus: Emphasis is placed on maintaining sobriety, addressing ongoing challenges, and developing a long-term recovery plan.
Structure: Sober living homes offer a drug-free living space where individuals can practice their recovery skills in a supportive community.
Focus: These homes encourage accountability and provide a safe environment as individuals transition back into independent living.
Structure: Many individuals participate in a 12-step program, such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), which provides a structured approach to recovery through a series of steps.
Focus: The program emphasizes personal accountability, community support, and spiritual growth, helping individuals connect with others who share similar experiences.
Insurance usually covers medical detoxifcation treatment, but it depends on your plan and provider. Bold Steps Behavioral Health works with many big insurance companies, like Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthCare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and more to make things easier. Coverage details can vary based on your policy type, whether pre-approval is needed, and if we’re in your network. Reach out, and we’ll help you understand how PHP treatment fits with your insurance.
The admission process for our medical detox program is easy and supportive. It starts with reaching out to share your situation and learn more about the program. After that, you’ll go through an assessment, and we will devise a detox plan tailored for you. Our staff will help check your insurance to see what’s covered and work with you to create a treatment plan that suits your needs. Once you’re admitted, you’ll attend an orientation to get familiar with the schedule and start participating in therapy. We are here to guide you every step of the way, making it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
The cost of medical detox depends on things like how long you stay in treatment, the services you need, and your insurance coverage. On average, it can cost between $250 and $500 per day, but insurance often covers a big part of it if it’s considered medically necessary.
