Our compassionate counselors are standing by to answer any questions you may have. After helping thousands of people over the last 50 years, we have the resources to help you and your family and all your individual needs.
If you have any questions about your New York State Empire Plan and what it covers, you can reach out to your insurance representative or you can get in touch with us at Discovery Institute. We will take a look at your plan and let you know what is or isn’t covered and let you know if there will be any out-of-pocket expenses on your end before treatment begins.
Will My Plan Cover Detox Treatment?
Before undergoing any sort of drug or alcohol treatment, you must first rid those substances from your body. This is done by undergoing detox treatment. Depending on the severity of the addiction, detoxing can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Due to the way the body can react to the detox process, it is important to undergo detox treatment under the care and supervision of trained medical professionals.
This can be done at either a medical facility, a dedicated detox facility, or a treatment facility that also provides detox services like Discovery Institute. Any attempt to self-detox can be incredibly dangerous and even possible life-threatening.
At Discovery Institute we are proud to offer detox services for anyone that needs it. If you would like to know more about our detox services or are unsure if your insurance plan will cover it, reach out to us and we can answer any questions you may have. We can also let you know if your plan covers detox in full or if there will be any out-of-pocket expenses associated with detoxing at our facility.
What Are My Treatment Options Once Detox Has Been Completed?
Once detox has been completed you can then enter a treatment program to treat your addiction. The two main types of treatment to choose from are:
Inpatient treatment is the preferred treatment option by professionals because it allows the patient to go through treatment while under around-the-clock care and supervision. It also allows the patient easy access to a variety of different therapies including individual and group sessions. By living at the facility, it eliminates the risk of relapse occurring during treatment since there are no outside distractions or temptations.
While outpatient treatment involves many of the same components of inpatient treatment, including the same therapy sessions, the main difference is that you don’t live at the facility. Instead, you go to the facility during the day for all your treatments and therapy sessions and then go home when your day is done. As a result, the cost tends to be significantly less.
People react differently to different types of treatment. That’s why we also offer holistic treatment as a complement to our other, more traditional, treatment methods. Some of the holistic treatment options that we offer:
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Reiki
- Acupuncture
- Nutritional therapy
- Adventure therapy
