Does My Insurance Cover Rehab the Full Treatment Process for My Teen?

Insurance Coverage for Teen Treatment

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates all insurance companies offer mental health treatment within a health insurance policy; however, coverage can vary by plan. When you reach out to BasePoint Academy, ask our admissions specialist if your health insurance covers the full treatment process for your teenager. Contact us at (972) 357-1749 to verify your insurance coverage for rehab and request a same-day assessment.

What Does Treatment Admissions or Intake Mean?

The admissions process for mental health treatment for your teen includes an extensive intake interview and psychological evaluation. This assessment includes questions about your teen’s lifestyle, cultural background, and spiritual beliefs, which are all taken into consideration before we recommend a course of treatment. A physical and mental evaluation will also be a part of admission into mental health rehab.

The process at BasePoint Academy begins when you request a same-day assessment. This assessment helps us identify your child’s symptoms and determine the types of programs and services that will benefit your teenager most.

Admissions Process for Teen Treatment at BasePoint Academy

Admission to a teen Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at BasePoint Academy begins when you reach out to us by phone or online. Your teen will then participate in a mental health and substance use assessment conducted by experienced mental health professionals. 

This assessment allows us to determine if your teen is in crisis and needs same-day admission; it also ensures accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Conditions we often treat include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), suicidal ideation, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and dual diagnosis. Our licensed professionals are uniquely equipped to treat these disorders in your adolescent using a customized program that incorporates evidence-based, holistic care and teaches your teen practical coping and communication skills.

Once a customized program has been developed, we work with you and your insurance company to help your teenager access the mental health services your policy covers. Your teen’s treatment is then scheduled. They’re expected to actively participate in therapy, and we adjust their treatment plan throughout their recovery to ensure they receive the best possible care.

Therapies and Resiliency Program at BasePoint Academy

The sole focus of our outpatient programs at BasePoint Academy is to support and treat teenagers experiencing behavioral and mental health disorders that affect their daily lives. During the treatment process, teenagers undergo several types of therapy in a customized approach based on their needs.

Nearly all teens at BasePoint participate in individual therapy, where they meet one-on-one with a licensed counselor or psychiatrist who helps them with the core principles of mental wellness and recovery. They may also participate in group counseling or family sessions. Additionally, our clinicians also provide medication management if your teen requires it.

The psychological fallout from the 2020 pandemic prompted the development of BasePoint Academy resiliency program. This treatment approach was influenced by the experience of adversity and teaching teens how to develop resiliency, which are steps they can use throughout their lives. We work with teenagers to help them shift their perspective about the challenges in their lives so they have the power on their own to bounce back from challenges and develop intrinsic motivation to heal and establish long-lasting change.

In addition to these treatment modalities, your teen’s customized program may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, trust-based relational intervention, teenage psychodynamic therapy, and other modalities.
