Does Magellan Health Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?

Does Magellan Cover Detox Treatment?

While many people think that they can just show up to a treatment center and immediately begin treatment, that’s not the case. Before treatment can begin, the body has to rid itself of any and all harmful substances by detoxing. The length of time someone spends detoxing can vary based on a variety of things including the severity of the addiction and how the person’s body reacts to the detox process. Depending on these things, detox can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to complete.

Because of what the detox process does to the body, it is crucial that it be completed under constant medical supervision. This can be done at a medical facility that offers detox services, a dedicated detox facility, or even a treatment center that offers detox as well such as Discovery Institute. Attempting to self-detox can be incredibly dangerous and even potentially life-threatening.

At Discovery Institute, we offer detox treatment, meaning you don’t have to go to a different facility in order to get your treatment process started. Even better, with your Magellan Health policy, you can undergo detox at little to no out-of-pocket expenses from you. In fact, depending on your policy, your detox treatment might even be covered in full.

If you have any questions about your Magellan Health policy as it pertains to detox, or aren’t sure how much it will cover, no need to worry. You can either reach out to your insurance representative or just give us a call at Discovery Institute. We will take a look at your policy and see what is and isn’t covered. Additionally, we will let you know if there will be any out-of-pocket expenses on your end before you enter treatment so there are no surprises.

What About Inpatient and Outpatient Treatment?

After completing detox, the next step is to choose a treatment program. Your treatment professional will likely recommend either inpatient or outpatient treatment based on a variety of factors.

Deciding between inpatient and outpatient treatment is a major decision and one that shouldn’t have to be made based on what your insurance provider covers. That’s why Magellan Health covers both inpatient and outpatient treatment. This allows both you and our treatment professionals here to choose the option that is best for both you and your needs.

What Else Does Magellan Health Cover?

Not everyone that undergoes treatment suffers from just a drug or alcohol addiction. Many people who are suffering from substance misuse issues are also suffering from some sort of mental or behavioral health issue. When someone is suffering from both a mental or behavioral health issue and a substance misuse issue, it’s called a co-occurring disorder.

Magellan Health understands that, which is why they specialize in behavioral healthcare, including mental health and co-occurring disorders.

Mental Health

Having a mental health disorder can be a scary thing to deal with. Unfortunately, many people feel a sense of embarrassment or shame when it comes to suffering from a mental health disorder. As a result, instead of getting the help that they need they turn to drugs or alcohol to self-medicate and “numb the pain”.

Magellan covers both mental and behavioral health and, depending on your plan, you might be fully covered to undergo mental health treatment at Discovery Institute. Not sure if your plan covers mental health? We will take a look at your plan and let you know what is and isn’t covered before you begin treatment.

Alternative Therapy

Not every treatment option is right for every person. At Discovery Institute we understand that, which is why we are proud to offer a variety of holistic treatment options. Some of those holistic treatment options that we offer to our patients include:
