Flexible Treatment Options
That Fit Your Lifestyle

What Insurance Do I Need?

Medicaid insurance in Illinois covers all three medications, and many private insurances cover them too. Overall, Medication-Assisted Recovery is the most cost-effective form of Opioid Use Disorder treatment. After you connect with a provider, they can support you to make sure all the paperwork is done to get you the support you need.

What If I Don’t Have Insurance?

Medication-Assisted Recovery is covered under Medicaid and Medicare. Don't worry if you haven't signed up for either of these. When you connect with a provider, they can work with you to fill out the paperwork needed so you can start Medication-Assisted Recovery as soon as possible.

What Will the Provider Ask Me?

The provider will ask you about your goals around your drug usage and life. They will explain the different treatment options available with Medication-Assisted Recovery. They will ask if you have any concerns and discuss next steps. There’s no commitment in asking about your options, and there are no legal risks sharing about your use.

Is Medication-Assisted Recovery Like Switching One Drug for Another?

No, using medications to reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms is not the same. It's an evidence-based tool to help you reduce your cravings and allow you to focus on your recovery. Many patients may need their medication for long periods of time, similar to the way a person with diabetes requires insulin. However, this is not a symptom of a substance use disorder or addiction.

Will This Work If I’ve Tried to Quit Many Times?

Medication-Assisted Recovery can work for many people, even if they have been trying to stop for years. It's over twice as effective as other ways to stop.
