Drug abuse and drug addiction are serious problems that can ruin the lives of abusers as well as those of the people who love them. Texas Children’s Health Plan members who are struggling with drug problems can get help. Members can receive drug rehabilitation at an approved Texas Children’s Health Plan drug rehab treatment center and get started on a new, healthier lifestyle.
Drug Abuse Coverage
The health plan, which provides low-cost health care coverage and free Medicaid managed-care policies for both children and adults, covers drug abuse services. The level of treatment and length of time of the drug rehab coverage would depend on the patient’s individual policy, and even if the health plan only covers a portion of the treatment, you may have the opportunity to pay for part of it yourself. A drug rehab center will often offer a payment plan so patients can get the recommended treatment without having to come up with all the money all at once.
If you or a loved one needs drug rehab and is a member of the Texas Children’s Health Plan, the plan may require the patient to receive services at a treatment center that is within the plan network. The type of facility available to you depends on your policy and how extensive the network is.
Inpatient or Outpatient Treatment
Depending on the policy and the severity of the drug problem, as well as the doctor’s treatment recommendation, a treatment plan at a residential rehab facility may be the best bet. You would have a safe atmosphere that would be free of temptation to use drugs or to spend time with people who use drugs, and the plan would provide 24/7 access to professional drug rehab experts, and access to peers who are going through some of the same things you may be going through. On the other hand, a Texas Children’s Health Plan drug rehab center may also provide outpatient treatment that could be better for you if you need to maintain regular home-life balance and keep up with daily home and work responsibilities. If temptation isn’t a problem for you, outpatient drug rehab can be quite effective through individual and group therapy.
Find a Better Life Without Drugs
Whether the patient is a teen, young adult or older adult, Texas Children’s Health Plan has options available to help break the cycle of addiction and provide the tools for a happy, healthy life without drugs.
