Understanding EAP and PPO Plans

It’s not uncommon for people to be confused by the different types of insurance plans and coverage. So, let’s break down what EAP and PPO plans are, specifically as they relate to substance abuse recovery. Knowing these differences will empower you to make the best choices for your care.

Definition and Benefits of EAP in Substance Use Recovery

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a work-based program designed to help employees deal with personal and professional issues that can impact their job performance, health, and well-being. These programs are often offered by employers as a benefit to help employees through tough times, and they are especially valuable for those struggling with substance use. If you’re employed by a company that partners with Dignity Health, your EAP can be a lifeline for getting the help you need. EAP programs are usually free to employees and their family members.

Here are some of the key benefits of EAP for substance use recovery:

  • Confidential Support: EAP services are usually confidential. This means you can seek help without worrying about your employer finding out. This can be particularly important for those who want to keep their recovery journey private.
  • Assessment and Referral: EAPs often start with an assessment to determine the specific needs of the employee. Based on this, the program can refer the employee to the most appropriate resources. This can include substance use professionals like those at Asana Recovery.
  • Short-Term Counseling: EAPs may offer short-term counseling or therapy sessions to help employees cope with immediate challenges related to substance use. This helps a person get started before they get into long term care.
  • Cost-Effective Option: EAP services are often provided at no cost to the employee. This removes financial barriers and makes it easier to access help.
  • Access to Additional Resources: EAPs can provide access to a wide array of resources, including support groups and educational materials.

Using your EAP for substance use is a way to access support, it shows that your employer cares about your well-being. If you are struggling don’t be afraid to seek it out.

How PPO Plans Work and Their Advantages for Private Recovery

A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) is a type of health insurance plan that offers a balance of freedom and cost savings. With a PPO plan, you typically have more flexibility in choosing your healthcare providers than you would with other types of insurance. You can see doctors, specialists, and treatment centers both in and out of your network, though you will usually pay less if you stick to providers in your network. If your Dignity Health PPO plan is within our network you will get a better deal. Here are some benefits of a PPO plan:

  • Choice of Providers: You can choose any doctor or specialist, including substance use treatment centers like Asana Recovery, without a referral from your primary care physician.
  • In-Network and Out-of-Network Coverage: PPO plans offer coverage for both in-network and out-of-network providers. While you’ll usually pay less for in-network care, having the option to go out-of-network can be crucial if you prefer a particular center or specialist.
  • No Referrals Required: Unlike some other health plans, you usually don’t need a referral from your primary care physician to see a specialist, including substance use professionals.
  • Direct Access to Treatment: You can directly access treatment without a waiting period. This is extremely helpful when you are struggling with addiction and need to seek immediate help.
  • Potential Cost Savings: You will save money when staying in the network. It’s important to know that Asana Recovery is a preferred partner for many PPOs, so if you have Dignity Health PPO insurance, you are likely to receive maximum benefits.

PPO plans help you to choose your care provider, and that is important when it comes to something like rehab. Because you will be putting yourself or your loved ones trust into a place. And that place needs to be the perfect fit.

This means we can often get pre-approvals quickly and we make sure we understand your specific benefits to optimize your coverage.
  • Coordination of Care: We coordinate care between EAP services and PPO plans. This helps make sure that your treatment is comprehensive and seamless, without any gaps in your care.
  • Insurance Verification Assistance: Our team helps make sure that you or your loved one is insured before you begin treatment.

Asana Recovery’s Treatment Programs

Choosing the right treatment program is an essential part of recovery. At Asana Recovery, we offer a wide range of programs that are designed to suit different needs. We provide many flexible programs to help our clients best get better. Here are a few of our programs that we offer:

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Its Benefits

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a flexible option for those who need structured treatment but can’t commit to full-time residential care. IOP offers a high level of support while allowing clients to maintain their daily responsibilities, such as work or family.

Here are the benefits of our IOP:

  • Flexibility: IOP is designed to fit into your life. It’s ideal if you need treatment but still want to maintain your daily routines. You can live at home and still get the care you need.
  • Structured Treatment: IOP offers structured therapy sessions, counseling, and support groups, which help you develop the tools to manage triggers and cravings.
  • Supportive Community: You’ll engage with peers who are on a similar recovery path. This provides encouragement and a sense of community, that can make you feel less alone.
  • Affordable: Compared to inpatient treatment, IOP is more affordable and is often covered by insurance like PPO plans. This makes it a viable option for those on a tighter budget.
  • Transition Support: IOP can serve as a bridge between inpatient care and full independence, which can be critical to maintaining your long-term sobriety.

If you need structured treatment, but cannot do full time, our IOP program might be for you. We also offer a Virtual IOP for our clients who are unable to make it to in-person treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a Core Treatment Method

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that can contribute to substance abuse. CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and it gives you the tools to cope with them. At Asana Recovery, CBT is a core part of our treatment process because we have seen how effective it can be.

Here’s why CBT is effective for addiction treatment:

  • Identifying Triggers: CBT helps you identify situations, people, or places that trigger cravings and substance use. Understanding your triggers is essential for managing and avoiding them.
  • Changing Negative Thoughts: CBT helps you change negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to substance abuse. With CBT, you can learn to reframe your thinking and develop healthier thought patterns.
  • Developing Coping Skills: You’ll learn coping mechanisms to deal with cravings, stress, and difficult emotions without turning to substances. These tools will help you stay sober in high stress situations.
  • Personalized Approach: CBT is tailored to meet your needs and situation. Our therapists create a customized treatment plan that focuses on your unique challenges and goals.
  • Evidence-Based Method: CBT is backed by research and is a proven method for treating addiction. It is also effective in treating mental health disorders, as many people struggling with addiction have a dual diagnosis

CBT is a helpful tool in the recovery process because it helps you change your thinking, which in turns helps you change your actions. You are not alone in this process, we can help you understand and control your thoughts and urges.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Comprehensive Care

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines medications with counseling and therapy to treat substance use disorders. MAT can be particularly effective for managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. At Asana Recovery, we believe in using the most comprehensive and effective methods to help you stay sober.

Here’s why MAT is a valuable part of our treatment:

  • Withdrawal Management: MAT helps manage withdrawal symptoms, making the detox process safer and more comfortable. Our Medically-Assisted Detox is designed to keep you safe when your body goes through changes as you stop substance use.
  • Cravings Reduction: Medications used in MAT can reduce cravings, which will help you maintain your sobriety long term. By curbing those urges you will be less likely to relapse.
  • Improved Therapy Outcomes: With reduced cravings and withdrawal symptoms, you can better engage in therapy and counseling. This makes the whole treatment process more effective.
  • Long-Term Success: MAT has been shown to improve long-term outcomes in substance use recovery. It is a tool to help you maintain your sobriety.
  • Individualized Approach: Our medical professionals will assess your needs to determine which medication and dosage is most appropriate for you. We do not believe in a one size fits all approach. We will make sure you get the best approach for you.

MAT provides an important layer of support, alongside therapy. We believe that medication is a great tool that we can use to help you get better. It is not the solution, but a tool to get you there, along with therapy and support.

Couples Therapy and Its Role in Recovery

Couples therapy can be a great option for those who are in a relationship and want to work through addiction recovery together. Substance use affects more than just the individual, it often impacts relationships and family dynamics. Couples therapy helps you address those issues together to build a stronger foundation for recovery. We offer Family Therapy as a part of couples therapy and it can be useful to get your family on the road to recovery with you.

Here are some benefits of couples therapy in addiction recovery:

  • Improved Communication: Couples therapy can help you and your partner learn to communicate better. It will allow you to express your needs and feelings more effectively.
  • Rebuilding Trust: Addiction often breaks down trust within a relationship. Couples therapy provides a safe space to rebuild that trust and heal from past hurts.
  • Understanding Addiction: Both you and your partner will gain a deeper understanding of addiction and its impact. This shared knowledge can help you support each other more effectively.
  • Supporting Sobriety: When both partners are committed to sobriety, it is easier to stay on track and avoid relapse. We create a supportive plan so that both partners can stay healthy.
  • Stronger Relationship: Couples therapy can improve the relationship and create a more stable and loving environment for your recovery.

Couples therapy is a great way to get both you and your partner on the path to healing. It can help you both get healthier and build a stronger relationship.

Common Challenges and Solutions in Using EAP and PPO Plans

While EAP and PPO plans are designed to help with healthcare costs, they can sometimes have their own set of challenges. Here are some common issues that you might encounter when using these plans and how to handle them:

  • In-Network vs. Out-of-Network Coverage:
    • Challenge: PPO plans typically have lower costs when you go in-network, but sometimes you want to see a particular provider who is not in network.
    • Solution: Check with your plan and with Asana Recovery to see if we are in your network. If you have an out-of-network provider you may have to pay more for your treatment. We work hard to be in-network with many plans, so if you are looking for the best rates, you will most likely find it with us.
  • Prior Authorizations:
    • Challenge: Some plans require prior authorization before you can begin treatment, which can be time-consuming and stressful.
    • Solution: Asana Recovery will handle all the prior authorization. We will work with your insurance plan to get pre-approval.
  • Confidentiality Concerns:
    • Challenge: Some employees hesitate to use their EAP due to confidentiality concerns.
    • Solution: EAP services are typically confidential. If you’re still worried, ask your EAP provider to clarify how your information is handled. At Asana Recovery, we also follow strict privacy policies.
  • Limited Coverage for Certain Services:
    • Challenge: Some insurance plans have limits on specific types of treatment, such as couples therapy or medication-assisted treatment.
    • Solution: Review your policy details and discuss it with our team. We can work with you and the insurance company to maximize coverage for the treatments you need. If we know that certain treatments are not covered, we can make a plan for you to pay for them.
  • Claim Denials:
    • Challenge: Claims can sometimes be denied due to errors or lack of information, which can be a hassle.
    • Solution: Asana Recovery will handle all of your claims to ensure no issues. If a claim is denied, we can also appeal the denial on your behalf and will work closely with your insurance to resolve it.

FAQs

What is the difference between EAP and PPO plans?

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a work-based program that offers resources and support for employees facing personal or work-related issues. EAPs often provide assessments, short-term counseling, and referrals to specialists, and these services are often free to you and family members. A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) is a health insurance plan that offers a greater choice of providers and the flexibility to see specialists without a referral. PPO plans cover both in-network and out-of-network providers, but in-network is usually cheaper. EAPs help you access mental health and substance abuse support, while PPOs help you pay for your healthcare.
