Understanding payment options
If you or a loved one is seeking an opioid detox medication program, you deserve flexible admission pathways that respect your circumstances. Private insurance and cash pay models both offer opportunities for faster access, fewer barriers, and individualized plans. Metro Rehab recognizes these unique challenges and works with you to secure timely care in a supportive environment.
Private insurance coverage
Navigating private insurance can feel overwhelming, but understanding the basics helps you move forward with confidence.
What private plans cover
- In-network benefits
Most policies cover a significant portion of detoxification services when you choose an in-network provider - Out-of-network reimbursement
You may pay upfront and seek partial reimbursement if Metro Rehab isn’t listed in your network - Medication management
Coverage for medications such as buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone—approved by the FDA for opioid use disorder [1] - Therapy and counseling
Individual and group sessions that address co-occurring mental health conditions
How to verify benefits
- Locate your insurance card
- Call the member services number
- Ask specifically about “medication-assisted detox” or “opioid use disorder treatment”
- Confirm covered services, preauthorization requirements, and out-of-pocket limits
- Share your benefits summary with Metro Rehab’s admissions team for verification
Additionally, if you need more information on medical therapies before detox, our opioid withdrawal treatment clinic can guide you through the process.
Cash pay flexibility
Choosing a self-pay route often accelerates admission and simplifies billing. You pay a set fee without insurance approvals, and you maintain full privacy.
Payment plans
- Lump-sum discount
Reduced rate for upfront payment - Installment options
Spread costs over weekly or monthly increments - Customized budgeting
Work with Metro Rehab’s financial coordinator to craft a plan suited to your income

Exploring medication-assisted detox
Medication-assisted detox plays a central role in relieving withdrawal discomfort, normalizing brain chemistry, and building a foundation for lasting recovery.
Role of medication management
Medication helps you:
- Control physiological cravings
- Block euphoric effects of opioids
- Reduce anxiety, nausea, and other distressing symptoms
- Restore normal body functions
The National Institute on Drug Abuse endorses medications like methadone and buprenorphine for safe, effective treatment of opioid use disorder [2].
Common detox medications
Each medication serves a specific purpose. Your clinician tailors choices to your history, severity of dependence, and treatment goals.
| Medication | Mechanism of action | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Buprenorphine | Partial opioid agonist, relieves cravings | Office-based detox and maintenance, first medication accessible in physician offices [1] |
| Methadone | Long-acting full opioid agonist | Stabilization and withdrawal management in specialized programs |
| Naltrexone | Opioid antagonist, prevents relapse | Extended-release injectable form, supports longer-term abstinence |
| Ancillary meds | Clonidine for anxiety, loperamide for diarrhea | Symptom-triggered relief during acute withdrawal |
Your individualized plan may combine these medications with evidence-based therapies, creating a comprehensive care pathway.
Finding fast-track admissions
Speed matters when withdrawal symptoms peak, often 2–3 days after stopping opioids and lasting up to a week [3]. Fast access reduces physical suffering and emotional distress.
