Managed Health Network Rehab and Heroin Detox Coverage

Managed Health Network Rehab and Heroin Detox Coverage

When you or a dependent family member abuses heroin, it causes physical and mental health problems. Although heroin detox seems intimidating, Psychology Today reports that the withdrawal symptoms are not usually life-threatening. The primary problem with detoxification is the level of discomfort and pain. Fortunately, Managed Health Network heroin detox coverage allows you to go through a painless detox so that you focus on long-term recovery goals.

Coverage for Detox

Managed Health Network heroin detox coverage varies with every policy. Some policies pay for a large portion of the detox process as long as you comply with any requirements or standards in your policy. For example, the policy might require a referral from a doctor or pre-certification before approving your treatment program. In other policies, you might notice limitations on the treatment facilities that your plan covers. Some policies will not pay for out-of-network treatment programs.

Evaluate your insurance policy before assuming that your coverage applies to a specific detox program. In most cases, the policy will pay for the detox process as long as you obtain appropriate referrals or meet the standards that your policy describes. You must also pay for the co-payment amount or the co-insurance if it applies to your specific policy.

Benefits of Supervised Treatment

The withdrawal symptoms associated with heroin abuse include:

  • Muscle or joint pain
  • General flu-like symptoms
  • Fever
  • Chills
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Difficulty sleeping at night
  • Irritability
  • Anxiety

In most cases, heroin abuse does not result in life-threatening withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately, it does cause physical pain and discomfort for a period of time. By entering a medically supervised detox program, a doctor or nurse provides appropriate treatment to address any severe reactions or discomforts that occur during the detoxification process.

Managed Health Network heroin detox coverage allows you to seek out a medically supervised and painless detox program so that you focus on your goals rather than concerns about the discomfort associated with the treatment program. Most policies offer solutions that help manage the withdrawal symptoms and allow you to move forward into a rehab program that helps you reach long-term recovery goals.

Treating heroin addiction or dependence begins with a detoxification program. You must remove the drug from your system before you enter a rehab program so that you focus on the treatment program and learn the skills that allow you to avoid a relapse in the future.
