Seeking Drug Rehab is the First Step

Most people who need treatment for addiction will never seek help. Mostly because they are unaware that help is available. Every day, almost 200 people die from an overdose. Some suffering from addiction don’t see the need for treatment or feel ready to quit using.

It often takes a catastrophic event to promote change. This event might be a near-death experience, losing a job because of the addiction, or having child protective services do a welfare check. 

If you are facing losing your child to child protective services, visit our CPS page with more info. 

If you need to find a rehab in Mesa that accepts Medicaid, you have several options. You can find these options by giving us a call at 1(888) 906-0952

Getting a treatment plan set up can feel overwhelming in the beginning. There is unfamiliar terminology, appointments to schedule, and changes happening at the same time. It’s common for people to be overwhelmed by all of this.

Recovering from addiction takes time.  Everyone struggles in this journey – don’t be too hard on yourself during this process.

Does Arizona Medicaid Cover Rehab? Understanding Your Managed Plan

Medicaid works differently in Arizona, compared to other states. In other states if you have Medicaid, it’s just that “state Medicaid”. In Arizona, there are several different companies that manage and distribute health plan benefits. These plans are called “managed plans”.

It might not seem so but there are many options for detox and rehab in Mesa. The good news? All versions of Arizona Medicaid or AHCCCS offer coverage for substance abuse treatment! 

The following AHCCCS managed plans cover both detox, inpatient, and outpatient rehabs: 

American Indian Health Program

AHCCCS is willing to cover behavioral health services at an Indian Health Service (IHS) facility, at a 638 facility, or an AHCCCS registered provider accepting fee-for-service. Drug rehabs that accept American Indian Health Program exist in Mesa and surrounding areas.

Arizona Complete Health

Not only does Arizona Complete Health offer coverage for substance abuse disorders, but they will also provide you with a care manager if you need help coordinating your healthcare. Furthermore, the goal of Arizona Complete Health is to provide easy access to behavioral health providers, which includes substance abuse specialists.

Banner-University Family Care

The Banner-University Family Care/AHCCCS, Complete Care plan, has contracts with several behavioral health providers and facilities. There is access to healthcare providers who specialize in addiction recovery within their contracts.

Care 1st Health Plan

The Care1st Health Plan believes everyone should be involved in their care, including rehab programs.  They believe in the patient having both a choice and a voice, and they think they should be seen as a whole person, not a person with a problem.  Care1st encourages people to find substance abuse treatment along with any other treatments they may need.  Most importantly, those on the Care1st Health Plan can receive treatment for substance abuse at no cost.

Substance Abuse Treatment Levels of Care and Therapies Covered by AHCCCS

All AHCCCS plans cover substance abuse treatment. When an AHCCCS drug rehab in Mesa treats a patient they include mental health services, psychiatric care, group therapy, individual therapy, addiction treatment, and much more. Below are a few types of treatments available. 

 Inpatient Treatment Mesa

Inpatient treatment is recommended for those suffering from severe addiction or addiction to substances with high-risk withdrawal symptoms. During inpatient treatment, you’ll live at the facility. The facility will monitor your withdrawal and recovery. They also provide a wide variety of therapy programs. Finding AHCCCS inpatient treatment takes making quite a few phone calls and ensuring that beds are available. 

Outpatient Treatment Mesa

Outpatient treatment is an option for transitioning from inpatient treatment or those less likely to experience dangerous withdrawals. Outpatient treatment usually requires attendance several days per week. The focus is on building the skills to continue living a substance-free life.   AHCCCS does cover outpatient treatment for those who are experiencing debilitating drug and alcohol addiction issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Mesa

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy used in many rehab programs. With CBT, there is a focus on changing the way your brain processes information. You’re taught to challenge your way of thinking.  You also learn coping skills and how to regulate extreme emotions and cravings.  CBT is often a part of inpatient and outpatient treatment processes.

Mesa Suboxone and Methadone Providers that Accept AHCCCS

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an option for some people struggling with addiction.  It helps someone struggling with addiction to begin recovery through medications that lessen or fully eradicate cravings. It’s important to know that medication is one step in the recovery program. There are benefits to starting a therapy program and joining a 12-step program.

AHCCCS covers the following Medications: 

Methadone is a long-acting medication designed to help minimize withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. It blocks your body from feeling the effects of an opioid if you try to use it while on methadone.

Buprenorphine is a newer medication for the treatment of substance abuse and helps reduce withdrawal symptoms.

Naltrexone is another medication used to help with the transition from substance abuse.  However, it’s not often prescribed because of its side effects.
