What Services May Be Covered By Carelon Behavioral?

Treatment planning may include multiple levels of care depending on clinical needs and insurance authorization. Available options may include medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient services.

Each level of care is structured to provide appropriate support based on recovery stage and individual circumstances.

Medical Detox

Medical detox may be recommended as an initial step for individuals experiencing withdrawal symptoms related to substance use. Supervised care allows for monitoring of physical and emotional symptoms and supports stabilization before ongoing treatment begins.

Residential Inpatient Treatment

Residential treatment provides structured, 24-hour support in a supervised environment. This level of care is typically considered when individuals require continuous clinical oversight and stabilization as part of their treatment plan.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) provide structured therapeutic support during the day while allowing individuals to return home in the evenings. This level of care may be used as a step-down or step-up, depending on clinical needs and insurance authorization.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) offer structured therapy several days per week while allowing individuals to maintain daily responsibilities. This level of care is commonly used for continued support after higher levels of treatment or as an initial outpatient option.

Individualized Therapy and Psychiatric Services

Therapy services may include individual counseling, group therapy, and psychiatric support, depending on treatment needs. Common approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing.

Family and Group Therapy Services

Family and group therapy sessions provide structured opportunities for communication, education, and support. These services may be included as part of a comprehensive treatment plan when clinically appropriate.

Complex Mental Health Conditions and Co-Occurring Disorders

Many individuals seeking treatment experience both substance use disorders and mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma-related disorders. Integrated care approaches address both conditions within a coordinated treatment plan.

Admissions staff can provide confidential insurance verification to help explain which levels of care may apply to a specific policy.

Medication-assisted Treatment Programs

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be used to support individuals with opioid or alcohol use disorders. MAT is combined with counseling and behavioral therapies as part of a comprehensive treatment approach when appropriate.

Medication Management

Medication management services support safe and effective use of prescribed psychiatric medications. This includes monitoring effectiveness, side effects, and potential interactions as part of ongoing treatment care.
