Treatment Programs Covered Under Blue Shield of California
1. Coordinated Medical Detox
Withdrawal can be challenging and dangerous without professional support. While Asana Recovery is an outpatient program, we coordinate medically supervised detox through trusted partner facilities for patients who need it. Blue Shield typically covers part or all of detox costs with prior authorization. Once stabilized, you transition seamlessly into our Fountain Valley outpatient programs.
Our admissions team handles the coordination so there’s no gap in your care.
2. Coordinated Residential Care (When Needed)
For patients who need a higher level of care before stepping down to outpatient, Asana Recovery coordinates residential placement through our trusted partner network. Blue Shield may cover residential treatment depending on your plan and medical necessity. Once stabilized, patients transition seamlessly into our outpatient programs—Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), or Virtual IOP—at our Fountain Valley outpatient center.
3. Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers intensive daytime treatment without overnight stays. It’s an excellent step-down option for individuals transitioning from coordinated residential care while maintaining a high level of structured support.
4. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Flexible yet robust, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) includes group therapy, individual counseling, and educational sessions while allowing patients to manage work, school, or family responsibilities.
At Asana Recovery, we tailor IOP to your unique schedule, ensuring you receive the care you need while reclaiming your life.
5. Virtual Treatment Programs (PHP and IOP)
Can’t attend in person? Our Virtual PHP and IOP programs offer remote access to the same quality care through secure video platforms. Patients receive therapy, counseling, and medical support without leaving home, making it ideal for busy schedules or those in remote locations.
Recovery is possible from anywhere. Our virtual programs bring Asana Recovery’s expertise to you.

How Out-of-Network Coverage Works with Blue Shield PPO
Asana Recovery is an out-of-network provider with Blue Shield of California. If you have a Blue Shield PPO plan, your out-of-network benefits typically still cover a meaningful portion of outpatient treatment — and our admissions team handles the details so there are no surprises.
Here’s what that means for you:
- PPO flexibility: Most Blue Shield PPO plans include out-of-network benefits that apply to outpatient addiction and mental health treatment.
- We verify everything upfront: Before you start, we confirm your specific out-of-network deductible, co-insurance, and any pre-authorization requirements — so you know your costs in advance.
- We handle authorizations: Our team manages the prior-authorization and claims paperwork directly with Blue Shield.
- No surprise bills: You’ll have a clear picture of your expected out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.
Note: HMO and EPO plans generally do not include out-of-network benefits. If you have a Blue Shield HMO or EPO, our team can talk through your options, including self-pay and payment plans.
