  • What should I expect from outpatient detox?

    Outpatient detox begins with a medical evaluation. Wave Treatment Centers understands that this is a difficult time for you. We make every effort to ensure you are comfortable during this process. The evaluation involves taking a very detailed history and asking a lot of questions about your substance use, as well as your past and present medical and psychiatric problems. We know this can be difficult to share and want you to know that with our non-judgmental approach, you will be treated with respect, compassion, and empathy.


    The next step involves a physical examination to identify any immediate needs and assess what level of detox you might need. From there, an individualized treatment plan will be developed and reviewed extensively with you to ensure that all of your questions are answered.


    This treatment plan typically involves the prescription of medications specific to the withdrawal state of the substance or substances that you are ready to stop taking. The doses and frequencies are specifically tailored to meet your unique physiology.


    At Wave Treatment Centers, we do not automatically discontinue all “controlled substances” that you may be prescribed if they are outside of the problem of addiction. For example, some patients may be prescribed stimulants or anti-anxiety medications that they take as prescribed and never abuse. Unlike most inpatient programs that take away all medications even if they are helping, we look at the whole picture to assess what is in your best interest to achieve success. 


    This also means that we support and provide Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) when appropriate. We offer long-acting injectable forms of naltrexone and buprenorphine to support your recovery. Last but not least, we see how they dramatically reduce relapse rates.

  • Does insurance cover treatment for addiction?

    While every insurance plan is different, many insurance companies offer coverage for addiction treatment.


    If you are considering outpatient treatment for your alcohol or opioid depency, our caring staff will help you determine what your options are for insurance or other payment plans.

I contribute my 4 years of recovery largely to Dr. Beatty. I didn’t think recovery was even possible for someone like me. With the guidance and support of Dr. Beatty, I have been able to pull my life together completely. My plan for treatment was unlike any I had before, and that was exactly what I needed in order to succeed. Thank you very for everything Dr. Beatty, I could not have done this without you.
