Clinical Pre-Assessment & Tailored Treatment Recommendations
When you make that first callor anytime during your information-gathering processstaff can provide a complimentary assessment for your teen. Insights can then help us determine whether treatment is a viable option, and if so, which level of care might be the best place to start.
This initial assessment includes:
- Physical and psychological health history
- Your teen’s behavioral concerns and history of substance use
- Family history
- Mental health challenges
- Current medications
- Any history of treatment
Once the pre-assessment is complete, it is sent to our medical and clinical teams to review and craft a customized treatment plan prior to admission.
Insurance Verification & Covering the Cost of Treatment
Coverage Options Made Simple
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, mental health and substance use treatment are typically covered partially or in full by insurance. Additionally, Guardian Recovery accepts a host of insurance plans, and we offer self-pay options for those who don’t choose to use insurance.
To verify your insurance benefits, we’ll need the following information:
- Your child’s full name and date of birth
- Name of insurance provider
- Member ID or policy number
- Type of plan
Some of the insurance companies we work with include:
– Aetna
– Anthem
– BlueCross BlueShield
– First Health Network
– Cofinity Health
– CareFirst
– Florida Blue
– Highmark
– Horizon BCBS
– Independence BCBS
– Molina
– Most Other Insurance Providers
Self Pay Options
Keep in mind, cost need not be a barrier to treatment. Various payment options are available, and we’ll work with you to find the best way to move forward.
FAQs
Questions About Insurance?
Find out exactly what your plan covers. We make insurance verification fast, easy, and private.
Are adolescent substance use and mental health disorders covered by insurance?
Many plans cover adolescent addiction rehab and mental health services, but it depends upon your policy. Guardian Recovery accepts most major insurance plans and will contact your insurance provider for you to learn about your benefits and coverage.
How soon can my child start treatment?
Your child can be admitted into treatment as soon as your insurance information is verified and transportation is arranged. While this is usually not the same day as the assessment, it rarely takes more than a day or two to begin treatment.
How long is your treatment program?
Every teen’s recovery journey is different, and we pride ourselves on developing programs that meet each child’s unique needs. Once your teen is admitted, we’ll conduct an in-depth evaluation to help us suggest the most appropriate duration of care.
Will my child receive therapy while in treatment?
While we design treatment programs based on each adolescent’s rehab needs, most care plans include individual, group, and family therapy. Your child may also participate in recreational therapies and those designed to develop life skills, build self-confidence, and prevent relapse.
What about school?
When enrolled in medical detox, inpatient/residential care, and our partial hospitalization program (PHP) with housing option, teens cannot continue with standard schooling because they are engaged in treatment full time. However, we coordinate with your school district to offer on-site instruction as needed to ensure they maintain or regain their academic standing. Guardian Recovery provides a dedicated classroom where your child will participate in our academic programs for two hours daily from Monday through Friday.
Can my teen take their medication during treatment?
If your child is staying at one of our facilities, previously prescribed medications should be brought on site in the original bottle with prescription information. Our medical staff will hold these medications and administer them as needed.
Is treatment confidential?
We have the utmost respect for your privacy and adhere to all HIPAA regulations.
