Compsych Drug Rehab Coverage

ComPsych insurance rehab coverage policies cover expenses associated with various aspects of the rehab process. These include the following.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment

Many patients dealing with addiction will require an inpatient addiction treatment. This treatment offers a combination of assisted detox and therapy programs. 

When patients check into inpatient rehab, the first step is the detox process. During this phase, patients will experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that make them want to go back to using. 

An inpatient rehab facility provides an assisted detox process, so patients are kept as comfortable as possible while their system adjusts. They may be administered medications to reduce symptoms. The medical staff will also offer supervision to ensure relapse doesn’t occur. 

After the patient is detoxed, they will begin therapy. Treatments may vary, but most therapies aim to find the underlying cause of addiction and treat it at its root. Healthy coping mechanisms are suggested as an alternative to using drugs and alcohol. 

ComPsych provides coverage for inpatient addiction treatment including therapy and detox.

Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Treatment

Not all users opt for inpatient treatment. Outpatient treatment is a better option for some. It is lower in cost, and it allows patients to participate in treatment while continuing to work and care for their families. It is recommended for those who have a healthy home life that encourages clean living.

Outpatient treatments can also be a next step for patients who have graduated from an inpatient treatment program. It gives them the support they need as they adjust to sober living.

There are three types of outpatient treatments, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient (IOP) and outpatient. They vary in the amount of therapy the patient needs. 

Partial hospitalization typically involves patients staying at the facility from 9AM to 3PM and returning to their families at night. IOP does not require as much therapy and outpatient will require perhaps a session or two a week. The amount of therapy needed is assessed in accordance with the patient’s condition and level of addiction. 

ComPsych offers outpatient treatments that can be beneficial in helping you overcome addiction.

Addiction Medications

There are several medications that can be used to treat addiction. Some drugs, like methadone and valium, reduce withdrawal symptoms making patients less likely to relapse during the detox process. 

Other drugs, like naltrexone and buprenorphine, block receptors in the brain so users no longer feel a sense of euphoria after taking the drug. Without the pleasurable feeling, the drug is not as appealing. This makes the user less likely to use breaking the cycle of addiction. 

Naloxone blocks opioid receptors, but it can also reverse narcotic effects. It is often given to patients to prevent overdose related death. 

Antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications treat mental disorders that may be at the root of addiction. 

ComPsych provides coverage for many of the drugs listed above to help patients overcome addiction.
