How Does MHN Cover Drug and Alcohol Detox?

 

The medical supervision required for MHN alcohol detox treatment coverage is covered as part of an inpatient or partial hospitalization program. However, prescription medications that are administered during detox are subject to the subscriber’s prescription medication coverage. The subscriber may receive two separate bills such as one for the clinician’s services and one for the medications that are administered.

Detoxification is often the first step in treating a drug or alcohol addiction. However, it is rarely conducted as a standalone procedure. During detox, medical staff monitor a patient’s heart rate, breathing and body temperature and administer any medications to help with nausea, vomiting or seizures that may result from withdrawal.
