What Addiction Treatment Does AmeriHealth in New Jersey?

AmeriHealth of New Jersey can partially or fully cover addiction treatment, based on your specific plan. Since treatment is a personalized journey, several levels of care are available to meet you where you are on your recovery journey.⁶ Rehabs in New Jersey that accept AmeriHealth may provide the following types of addiction treatment:

• Medical detox. Often the first step in treatment for many, medical detox entails quitting substances safely under medical supervision. It aims to stabilize patients and prevent potential harmful withdrawal effects using evidence-based interventions, like medications and therapies. Once stabilization is achieved, individuals typically transition to another level of continued care.⁷
• Inpatient or residential treatment. Patients reside in residential facilities while receiving 24/7 structured and supportive care. These programs can vary in length and provide therapeutic interventions, such as group meetings and 1-on-1 counseling sessions, family therapy, medication management, and education sessions.⁶
• Outpatient rehab treatment. With outpatient rehab, you can live at home and tend to other responsibilities while attending treatment. Outpatient programs provide similar evidence-based approaches to inpatient rehab. Multiple levels of outpatient care are available, varying in intensity and required attendance frequency.⁶
• Therapy. Addiction specialists use several treatment modalities in inpatient and outpatient settings. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), contingency management (CM), and experiential therapies are often used to help you address the symptoms, underlying causes, and consequences of addiction.⁶
• Medications. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) uses a blended approach, administering medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to patients while having them participate in behavioral therapies. This intervention method simultaneously manages withdrawal symptoms and cravings while addressing the mental, psychological, and emotional effects of SUD.⁶
