Magellan health insurance for addiction treatment

Does Magellan cover the detox treatment?

While many people think they can just show up at a treatment center and begin treatment right away, this is not the case. Before starting treatment, the body must get rid of all harmful substances by detoxifying. The duration of detox can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the severity of the addiction and how the person’s body reacts to the detox process. Depending on these elements, detoxification can take from a few days to a few weeks.

Due to what the detoxification process does to the body, it is crucial that it is carried out under constant medical supervision. This can be done at a medical facility that offers detox services, a dedicated detox center, or even a treatment center that offers drug rehabilitation as well as Discovery Institute. Attempting to detox can be incredibly dangerous and even potentially deadly.

At Discovery Institute, we offer detox treatment, which means you don’t have to travel to another facility to begin your treatment process. Even better, with your Magellan Health policy, you can undergo rehab at little or no cost on your part. In fact, depending on your policy, your detox treatment might even be fully covered.

If you have questions about your Magellan Health policy as it relates to drug addiction, or if you’re not sure how much it will cover, don’t worry. You can either contact your insurance representative or simply call us at the Discovery Institute. We’ll review your policy and see what’s covered and what’s not. Plus, we’ll let you know if there will be any fees on your part before you start processing 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 inpatient or outpatient treatment based on a variety of factors.

Deciding between inpatient and outpatient treatment is a big decision and shouldn’t be made based on what your insurer covers. That’s why Magellan Health covers both inpatient and outpatient care. This allows you and our treatment professionals to choose the option that best suits you and your needs.

What else does Magellan Health cover?

Not all people who go through treatment suffer solely from drug or alcohol addiction. Many people who suffer from substance abuse issues also suffer from some sort of mental or behavioral health problem. When a person has both a mental or behavioral health problem and a substance abuse problem, it is called a concurrent disorder.

Magellan Health understands this, which is why they specialize in behavioral healthcare, including mental health and concurrent disorders.

Mental Health

Have 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 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 may be fully covered for mental health treatment at the Discovery Institute. Not sure if your plan covers mental health? We’ll review your plan and let you know what’s covered and what’s not before you start treatment.
