Unfortunately, many individuals fail to seek the quality clinical care they so desperately need because they mistakenly believe their current health insurance provider will not cover the cost of addiction treatment. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which was signed into law in 2010, behavioral health services — such as medical detox and inpatient addiction treatment — are considered essential health-related services and must be covered by major insurance providers. Independence BCBS is dedicated to covering the partial or full cost of addiction treatment, recognizing that medical care is comprehensive and that behavioral health is essential to overall well-being.

Medical Detoxification

Addiction recovery is a comprehensive process, one that begins with medical detox and ends with long-term aftercare. Regardless of the type of substance that was being abused and the severity of use, medically monitored detox is always a necessary first step. At CuraWest we have developed a comprehensive and highly individualized medical detox program that is truly unlike any other. While a comfortable withdrawal and efficient physical stabilization are our top priorities, we provide a wide range of additional detox services geared towards comprehensive healing. At CuraWest we believe in treating physical, mental and emotional health simultaneously. Not only do we provide traditional detox services like Medication Assisted Treatment, but we provide a range of therapeutic and holistic services. We also provide dual diagnosis treatment to men and women who have been suffering at the hands of an undiagnosed or untreated mental health disorder and trauma-informed care for those suffering at the hands of unresolved trauma.

Independence BCBS recognizes that medical detox is a necessary health-related service for men and women who have been suffering at the hands of a mild, moderate or severe substance abuse disorder. Many individuals believe that coverage only applies to services provided by state-run facilities or traditional hospitals. This is not the case – comprehensive programs provided in homestyle facilities are also frequently covered by major insurance providers. If you are unsure whether your current provider is able to cover your stay, simply give us a call. Our Treatment Advisors are available to conduct a no obligation insurance benefit check to see how much of your stay will be covered.

Inpatient Addiction Treatment

Once an individual has undergone the symptoms of withdrawal in a safe and secure environment, the next step is immediately transferring into the residential portion of our clinical program. Inpatient treatment typically lasts for between 3 and 21 days, though a longer stay is always recommended. The main goals of inpatient treatment are to help clients work through underlying emotional trauma, develop essential life skills, communication skills, healthy coping mechanisms and relapse prevention skills and learn to live a fulfilling sober life. At CuraWest we put a major emphasis on 12 step involvement and trauma-informed care as well. We also offer dual diagnosis services to men and women who are simultaneously grabbling with substance abuse and a mental health disorder.

Sadly, many men and women do not continue onto inpatient treatment once they have completed medical detox – generally because they believe they cannot afford to receive quality clinical care in a licensed and reputable treatment center. Under ACA the majority of treatment costs are in fact covered by major providers like Independence BCBS. To learn more about which services will be covered in their entirety, continue reading below.

CuraWest Services Covered by Independence BCBS

At CuraWest we are dedicated to providing men and women of all ages and walks of life with the quality clinical care they both need and deserve. The comprehensive services we offer cannot be found in any traditional hospital setting or basic state-run facility. We provide comprehensive and highly individualized care in a medically monitored, homestyle retreat, one carefully designed with client comfort in mind. The majority of the services we offer are fully covered by major health insurance providers like Independence BCBS.

These services include:

• In-depth and highly personalized clinical and medical assessments – Upon admission to CuraWest each individual client undergoes an in-depth assessment, which helps our team of medical professionals, addiction counselors and licensed therapists determine which course of action will best suit his or her specific needs and requirements. Assessments continue throughout every phase of the recovery journey to ensure that individual treatment goals are being met and progress is being made.

• Medically monitored detoxification services – Our medical detox is truly unlike any other in that we provide comprehensive, quality clinical care in a homestyle retreat. We are dedicated to providing clients with comfortable and safe withdrawal while helping pave the road for a continuation of addiction recovery services.
• Additional addiction treatment services – At CuraWest we offer much more than traditional medical detox services. We provide our clients with dual diagnosis treatment and psychiatric care, trauma-informed therapy, 12 step immersion, addiction education services, holistic methods of intervention and a long list of homestyle amenities.
• Ongoing case management – Case management services are geared towards helping ensure that clients are staying on the right track and that their family members (and other loved ones) are staying informed of their progress in our recovery program.
• Intensive therapeutic intervention, including individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy – Therapy is crucial to effective addiction treatment – not just in an inpatient treatment setting, but in detox as well. We offer one-on-one therapy sessions, daily group therapy sessions and family therapy sessions whenever viable.
• Aftercare planning – No recovery program is complete without aftercare, which means the difference between long-term recovery and eventual relapse. Our case managers work closely alongside each individual client to develop viable aftercare plans, and they do everything in their power to make sure that these plans are closely adhered to.

At CuraWest we believe that treatment should be affordable for everyone, and we’ll do everything we can to assure that you’re covered when working with your health insurance provider.
