Which Types of Addiction Treatment Does AvMed Cover?

There are several levels of addiction treatment, and your healthcare provider or addiction specialist will work with you to determine which level of treatment is best for your needs.

If you are diagnosed with a SUD, your care provider may recommend that you move through a 3-step treatment process, including:³

Detox. Medical detox works to provide withdrawal management services, helping you to feel comfortable as drugs and alcohol leave your body. This is typically the first step in the recovery process.
Rehab. After you complete medical detox, you’ll move to inpatient or outpatient rehab, where you’ll go through various types of therapy and develop the skills and behaviors conducive to long-term sobriety.
Aftercare. After you complete formal inpatient or outpatient treatment, it’s important to begin an aftercare program to help you stay strong in your recovery. Your aftercare program may consist of therapy, sober living, and more.

A comprehensive recovery program can help you learn how to implement coping skills and behavioral strategies that can support your sobriety in daily life.
