Highmark Drug Rehab Center in Massachusetts

Highmark is a leading provider of health insurance and behavioral health services, offering comprehensive coverage for individuals seeking addiction treatment.

Northstar Recovery Center is here to help. As a leading provider of substance use treatment in Massachusetts, our programs are covered by Highmark.

We Are Here For You

What Does Highmark Cover for Drug Rehab?

What does Highmark cover for drug rehab? Your Highmark plan may help pay for a range of addiction treatment services, including:

  • Drug and alcohol detox
  • Inpatient drug rehab programs
  • Outpatient programs (including day treatment and partial day treatment)
  • Therapy
  • Medication management

 

While Highmark covers many types of addiction treatment services, it’s essential to choose a provider—such as Northstar Recovery Center—that accepts your insurance to maximize your benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs.

Northstar Recovery Centers offers highly structured addiction day treatment programs in Massachusetts. The time commitment for day treatment is similar to a standard work or school schedule. Clients attend our centers six days a week.

Sessions begin at 9:00 AM, and from Monday through Friday, you'll stay at Northstar until 3:30 PM. On Saturdays, your time at the center will last until 2:00 PM. A typical daily schedule includes group therapy sessions, individual therapy, and other activities, such as family therapy, depending on your specific treatment plan.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) serve as a step down from day treatment, offering greater flexibility for individuals who need to manage responsibilities like work while attending addiction therapy. Clients in our IOP, covered by Highmark, can choose from several treatment schedules:

  • Mornings: Sessions run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
  • Afternoons: Sessions occur from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM.
  • Evenings: Sessions are held from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM in Southborough and from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM in West Springfield.

Many clients transition to our IOP after completing day treatment, but the program can also serve as an initial level of care for individuals experiencing less severe symptoms when they begin treatment.

Along with our in-person recovery programs, we offer virtual addiction treatment in Massachusetts, which may be covered by Highmark. Options include virtual day treatment, virtual IOP, and hybrid scheduling that blends in-person and online therapy sessions.

Northstar Recovery Center offers dual-diagnosis treatment covered by Highmark. This integrated approach is available for anyone in our day treatment, IOP, or virtual programs. Dual-diagnosis care addresses both addiction and co-occurring mental health issues at the same time, helping clients achieve lasting recovery.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach to addiction recovery. By combining FDA-approved medications with therapy and supportive services, MAT can help individuals manage cravings and sustain their recovery. At Northstar Recovery Center, we offer MAT in Massachusetts for those who can benefit from this tailored treatment.

From the first time I walked into Northstar I was greeted by many smiling faces. Those faces turned into confidants that have made my sobriety successful. Each and every staff members priority is the well being of their clients. The past 6 weeks, I have learned so much about my allergy (alcohol) and coping skills on how to remain sober for today and tomorrow. I highly recommend Northstar Recovery.
