Most Likely, CareFirst Covers Detox

Up until relatively recently, treatment options for behavioral health concerns — like medical detox and inpatient addiction treatment — were not widely recognized as essential health-related services. However, CareFirst has long-since been an advocate for accessible substance abuse treatment options. In 2018 CareFirst awarded nearly $2.1 million to 11 community health organizations that are dedicated to combating substance abuse (including opioid abuse) in Maryland, Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia. If you or someone you love has been struggling with a substance abuse disorder of any severity, CareFirst coverage is ideal. If you are currently insured through CareFirst or any other major regional or national provider, contact Guardian Recovery today for more detailed information.

Guardian Recovery Addiction Treatment Programs Covered by CareFirst Insurance

• Initial clinical and medical assessment – Upon admission to our medical detox program each client undergoes a personalized clinical and medical assessment. The assessment helps our medical team determine which detox methods are going to be the most effective for each individual case. We ask a series of questions pertaining to physical and emotional health, family history of substance abuse and psychosocial standing. This helps us develop individualized and highly focused detox and aftercare plans.
• Medically monitored detox – Clients have access to 24/7 medical supervision and treatment. The moment and symptom associated with drug or alcohol withdrawal begins to develop, it is immediately treated at the source, guaranteeing a safe and pain-free withdrawal. We offer a range of evidence-based detox methods including Medication Assisted Treatment and tapering.
• Addiction treatment services – In addition to providing around-the-clock medical care we offer numerous addiction treatment services, including relapse prevention training, life skills training, 12-step program education and involvement and intensive therapeutic intervention (individual, group and family therapy sessions).
• Case management services – Each client is paired up with an experienced case manager who walks them through the early recovery process. Case managers serve several vital roles, including helping clients develop detox, treatment and aftercare plans, answering any questions and serving as the main liaison between our medical team and the loved ones of each client.
• Individual therapy – We offer individual therapy sessions at least once a week, facilitated by a licensed, on-staff therapist. In individual therapy sessions clients explore underlying causes and issues, develop personalized recovery goals and work through any potential roadblocks to long-term sobriety.

• Group therapy – Group therapy sessions take place on a daily basis, and focus on a variety of pertinent recovery-related topics. We educate our clients on the Disease Model of Addiction, explore the negative consequences that result from active addiction and offer insight on what to expect during the remainder of the treatment process. We encourage our clients to participate in as many group therapy sessions as they are physically capable of attending – though none are mandatory.
• Family therapy – At Guardian Recovery we believe that the loved ones of each client should be heavily involved in every phase of the recovery process from start to finish. We offer family therapy sessions whenever possible along with additional family-oriented services and resources.
• Personalized aftercare planning and rehab placement services – Medical detox is the first step on the road to recovery, but in order to be effective it must be followed up with inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. At Guardian Recovery we work closely with many reputable, gender-specific inpatient treatment centers across the east coast.

Lifelong recovery is only a phone call away. Many men and women who desperately need professional addiction treatment fail to seek it for a variety of reasons. They might be unaware of the numerous treatment options that are readily available to them. They might be concerned about covering the cost of professional treatment, or they might not feel prepared to enter a long-term program of recovery. It is important to acknowledge the fact that addiction is a disease of denial — even when the need for intervention has become abundantly clear to the loved ones of the addict or alcoholic, he or she might remain unwilling to seek the professional help that is so obviously necessary. At Guardian Recovery we are available to help you through every single phase of the early recovery process, from professionally staged interventions (whenever necessary) through intake. The moment you or your loved one gives us a call we begin developing a viable and stress-free plan of action. We begin by conducting a pre-assessment over the phone, which helps our medical team determine which detox methods are going to be the most effective for each unique case. Next we offer a free, no obligation health insurance benefit check. If you or your loved one is currently insured through CareFirst, there is a good chance that some or all of our detox services are covered partially or in full. Once coverage is determined we set a date and time for intake and help arrange plans for reliable transportation.
