Are you wondering if Molina covers detox and addiction treatment services?

Molina Healthcare is a managed care company with headquarters in Long Beach, California. Molina provides affordable and comprehensive healthcare to individuals and families through programs like Medicaid and Medicare. According to the official website Molina has been serving men and women of all ages and in all demographics for the past 35 years. There is a significant difference between Medicaid and Medicare, though both government programs provide healthcare services to men and women who might not otherwise have access. According to the official government website, Medicaid is a joint state and federal program that helps men and women with limited income cover medical costs. In order to qualify for Medicaid a person must be a US citizen and a resident of that specific state. While each state has different guidelines, the program is most often available to low-income individuals and families, men and women over the age of 65, people living with a disability, a parent or adult who is actively caring for a dependent or a dependent under the age of 19. Medicare, on the other hand, is a federal program exclusively for men and women over the age of 65 (however, certain people with disabilities who are under the age of 65 might also have access). Medicare has two parts – Part A and Part B. Part A helps cover inpatient care in hospital settings, hospice care or home health care. Part B covers services from primary care physicians or other healthcare providers, outpatient care, durable medical equipment (like wheelchairs, crutches or hospital beds) and preventative medical services (like shots, vaccines and screenings).

Medical Detox and Addiction Treatment

Medically monitored detox is crucial to the maintenance of fulfilling sobriety, but it is only the first step on every long-term program of clinical care. In order for detox to be successful it must be closely followed by the next appropriate level of care.

Our programs of clinical care include the following steps:

• Medically monitored detox, which typically lasts for between three days and two weeks depending on the severity of withdrawal symptoms. 
• A transition into inpatient/residential treatment, which can last for between 28 days and three months depending on the unique needs of each individual client. 
• A continuation of clinical care in a Partial Hospitalization (PHP) program, Intensive Outpatient (IOP) program or Outpatient (OP) program.
• A long-term program of aftercare, which includes a continuation of individual therapy and daily 12-step program involvement. 

CuraSouth Programs Covered by Molina Insurance

• Initial clinical and medical assessment – Every detox journey begins with an in-depth and personalized clinical and medical assessment. The assessment consists of a series of pertinent questions, including, “How long have you been abusing drugs or alcohol?” “Have you ever been diagnosed with or treated for an underlying mental illness like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder?” “As far as you know, is there any history of substance abuse or dependence in your immediate family?” The answers to these questions help our clinical and medical team determine which course of action is the most appropriate for each unique case.

• Medically monitored detox – Our detox program combines therapeutic intervention with several evidence-based detox methods, including tapering, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) and proven holistically-based modalities.
• Case management services – Each client is paired with an experienced case manager, who walks them through the early recovery process, helps them identify treatment goals and develop a plan for continuing care and communicates directly with family members.
• Addiction services – We offer a range of addiction services including 12-step education and involvement, relapse prevention training, life skills training and intensive therapeutic intervention.
• Individual therapy – One-on-one therapy sessions take place at least once a week and are facilitated by one of our licensed on-staff therapists.
• Group therapy – Group sessions take place on a daily basis and focus on a range of pertinent, recovery-related topics.
• Family therapy – At CuraSouth we believe that the loved ones of our clients should be involved in the entire duration of the recovery process from start to finish.
• Thorough and personalized aftercare planning – Medical detox is only the initial step on every lifelong journey of recovery. In order to prevent a return to substance use our clinical team works with case managers to develop a personalized aftercare plan for each individual client.

Begin Your Recovery Journey

At CuraSouth we consistently prioritize client safety and comfort by utilizing a range of proven and heavily researched detox methods. While providing clients with a safe and pain-free drug or alcohol withdrawal is our top priority, we believe that effective medical detox should focus on more than physical stabilization. We ensure that every one of our clients is set up for continued success in sobriety by offering a range of addiction services and developing personalized plans for continuing care. We understand that committing to a long-term recovery program can be overwhelming in and of itself. For this reason we have developed an admissions process that is simple, straightforward and can be completed over the phone within minutes. As soon as you or your loved one makes the decision to pick up the phone and contact us, we begin developing a viable plan of action. First we conduct a brief pre-assessment to confirm that our detox program is the best possible fit. Next we look at potential coverage options. If you or your loved one is insured through Molina Healthcare or any other major regional or national provider, there is a good chance that some or all of our programs and services are covered either partially or full. Finally we set a date and a time for intake and arrange reliable transportation plans.
