Are you wondering if First Health Network covers detox & addiction treatment?

First Health Network is one of the largest PPO networks in the United States. According to the First Health website, the insurance provider remains dedicated to providing quality healthcare at an affordable price and offers a range of solutions for out-of-network claims, simple implementation and administration and rural, urban and suburban access to quality clinical care. PPO stands for Preferred Provider Organization, and offers a network of healthcare providers that have agreed to provide medical care to plan members at a fixed rate. PPO insurance plans provide more flexibility and usually do not require referrals when it comes to choosing a primary care physician (PCP). Benefit holders have the advantage of choosing clinical care from any provider, whether the provider is in-network or out of network. If special treatment options are necessary — for example, clinical care provided in a medically monitored detox center — a PCP referral is not necessary. Which means, it is very likely First Health Network covers detox & addiction treatment in most cases. Contact us to get the specifics of your First Health Network plan.

First Health Network places a strong emphasis on the importance of accessible behavioral health services, including medical detox and inpatient addiction treatment. They have several different plans available to men and women of all ages who have been suffering at the hands of a substance abuse disorder. The amount of coverage provided depends on whether or not the services are in-network and which specific plan you or your loved one is currently covered by.

Detox and Addiction Recovery

Medical detox is essential – however, it is only the first phase of a multi-phased continuum of clinical care. Without an immediate transition into the next appropriate level of treatment the risk of relapse increases significantly.

Most treatment programs consist of the following:

• Medically monitored drug or alcohol withdrawal carried out in a medical detox facility 
• A long-term stay in a residential rehab, which could last from between one and three months (or longer) depending on the needs of the individual client 
• Intensive outpatient or outpatient treatment 
• A long-term stay in a gender-specific sober living house 
• A thorough and personalized program of continuing care which includes a continuation of individual therapy, 12 step program involvement and psychiatric services where dual diagnosis conditions are concerned 

In some cases inpatient treatment is not necessary and a client can transition from medical detox directly into an intensive outpatient treatment program. If you want to learn more about which level of care is right for you or your loved one contact us today.

CuraSouth Detox Programs Covered by First Health Network

At CuraSouth we offer a range of recovery-related services to our clients. We believe that medical detox should focus on more than providing a safe and pain-free withdrawal and ultimate physical stabilization. We ensure that each and every one of our clients has a viable and comprehensive aftercare plan in place before his or her discharge date, and we work to equip our clients with the relapse prevention tools and healthy coping mechanisms needed to maintain success in sobriety for years to come.

We offer the following addiction treatment programs:

• Medically monitored detox – Our medical detox program is client-centered and highly individualized. Treatment plans are carefully crafted based on the unique needs and requirements of each client. In addition to around-the-clock medical supervision, we offer a range of treatment services including therapeutic intervention, 12 step program education, relapse prevention training, educational workshops that cover the Disease Model of Addiction and much more.
• An in-depth clinical and medical assessment – Upon admission to our detox program each client undergoes a personalized clinical and medical assessment, which helps our treatment team determine which course of action is the most appropriate for each unique case.
• A variety of addiction services – We offer a range of addiction services for clients to take advantage of if they are feeling physically able to do so. In addition to providing group, individual and family therapy, we offer daily on-site 12 step meetings, educational workshops and holistic treatment methods geared towards enhancing physical comfort and decreasing drug cravings (like acupuncture and massage therapy, for example).
• Case management – Upon admission to our treatment program every client is assigned a case manager who helps develop an individualized treatment plan for the client while ensuring that the client is meeting all of his or her personal treatment goals. Case managers also serve as the main point of contact between the detox center and each client’s loved ones.
• Individualized therapy – Clients have access to at least one individual therapy session every week, during which they further explore personal recovery goals and begin working through underlying causes related to substance abuse and dependence.

• Group therapy – Group therapy sessions and group workshops take place on a daily basis, and cover recovery-related topics including the Disease Model of Addiction, the personal consequences that go hand-in-hand with a return to drinking or drug use, 12 step program education, relapse prevention, life skills training and more.
• Family therapy – At CuraSouth we believe that the immediate family should have the opportunity to participate in the entire addiction treatment experience from start to finish. We offer family therapy to clients who are actively engaged in our inpatient detox program for an extended period of time.
• Aftercare planning and rehab placement services – Medical detox is the first step on the road to recovery — but it is not a standalone treatment option. We offer thorough aftercare planning and rehab placement services in order to ensure that our clients stay on the right track once the withdrawal process has concluded.

Begin Your Journey of Healing

Active addiction is devastating for everyone involved. At CuraSouth we are dedicated to providing our clients and their loved ones with a comprehensive and unique approach to recovery. Many detox centers throughout the country take an impersonal and uniform approach to treating drug and alcohol withdrawal — in state-run detox centers and hospitals, clients are treated for physical symptoms and released without a solid plan for continuing care in place. This increases the risk of relapse significantly and essentially renders medical detox ineffective. At CuraSouth we understand the importance of immediately following detox up with the next appropriate level of clinical care, which is why we offer rehab placement services as a main component of our integrated program. Yes, physical stabilization is important, and client comfort remains a top priority. But medical detox is about more than preventing health-related complications and alleviating drug cravings. Medical detox should adequately prepare clients for the road ahead.
