HEALTH CHOICE SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT

Health Choice insurance (of Arizona) provides coverage for various care levels to meet the diverse treatment needs of our members.³

Depending on the individual plan, coverage can include:

• Outpatient Treatment: Offers weekly therapy sessions and treatments, enabling individuals to stay at home and keep up with their everyday activities while undergoing treatment.
• Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): Recognizing the importance of accessible yet profound treatment modalities, Health Choice covers IOP services. These are crucial for individuals who must balance life’s responsibilities with the recovery process, providing therapy, counseling, and group support in a flexible schedule.
• Partial Hospitalization: Delivers comprehensive day treatment, allowing individuals to spend evenings at home after receiving intensive care during the day.
• Inpatient Treatment: Provides round-the-clock care in a hospital or residential environment, tailored for those who need extensive support to overcome addiction and achieve lasting sobriety.

Factors like addiction severity, health history, and personal situation determine the appropriate care level for each member.

Through collaboration with a network of esteemed providers, Health Choice Arizona commits to offering our members access to high-quality care tailored to their recovery needs.

Yes, Health Choice Arizona offers coverage for dual diagnosis treatment, encompassing both substance abuse and mental health disorders.

Treating dual diagnosis is crucial in substance abuse recovery as it simultaneously tackles the addiction and any coexisting mental health issues that might be fueling substance use.

Such treatment typically involves a combination of therapy, medication management, and additional supportive measures aimed at addressing both the substance dependency and the mental health condition.

Insurance providers recognize the need for holistic treatment and cover various dual diagnosis treatment approaches, ensuring members access the comprehensive care required for sustained recovery.
