Explore levels of care
If you have Cigna insurance and you’re considering a suboxone maintenance program Cigna accepted, you’ve come to the right place. At Pax Healing, we offer structured levels of care designed to guide you through each stage of recovery with comprehensive care and individualized plans. Below is an overview of three evidence-based treatment options you can access under your Cigna benefits.
Partial hospitalization program
A partial hospitalization program (Full Day Program) provides intensive support without requiring overnight stays. You’ll attend therapy sessions, medical check-ins, and group counseling five days a week in a structured, supportive environment. Full Day Program at Pax Healing helps you stabilize during early recovery and build coping strategies before stepping down to less intensive care.
- Medical oversight each day
- Individual and group therapy
- Case management and peer support
- Coordination with your primary care team

Intensive outpatient program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) offers flexible scheduling while maintaining a high level of support. You’ll participate in therapy three to five times per week, combining individual counseling, group sessions, and skill-building workshops. IOP at Pax Healing allows you to balance recovery with personal responsibilities, reinforcing relapse prevention strategies and emotional resilience.
- Flexible treatment hours
- Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy
- Family education sessions
- Ongoing care coordination
Explore our Cigna accepted IOP program for substance use to see if it fits your needs.
Medication-assisted treatment
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) integrates FDA-approved medications with counseling and peer support to address both the physical and psychological aspects of opioid use disorder. Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is often the backbone of MAT, reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms without causing intoxication [1]. Pax Healing’s MAT is available as an outpatient service, making it easier to maintain work, school, or family commitments.
- Suboxone maintenance therapy
- Regular medical evaluations
- Integrated counseling
- Peer support groups

Understand Cigna coverage
Navigating health insurance can feel overwhelming. Here’s how your Cigna plan supports Full Day Program, IOP, and MAT services at Pax Healing to make your path smoother.
Cigna in-network Full Day Program and IOP
By choosing a Cigna-in-network provider, you minimize out-of-pocket costs and ensure seamless coordination of care. Pax Healing is listed among the top in network Full Day Program for substance use Cigna and outpatient addiction treatment covered by Cigna centers in Massachusetts. In-network status means:
- Lower copays and coinsurance
- Direct billing to Cigna
- Access to case managers for benefits guidance
Suboxone coverage under Cigna
Cigna recognizes Suboxone as an evidence-based MAT medication. Standard Cigna formularies place the generic version in the lowest cost tier and the brand-name version in a higher tier [2]. Coverage highlights include:
- Both brand-name and generic Suboxone covered
- Prescription fill at your local pharmacy
- Buprenorphine/naloxone combination to discourage misuse
- Option for home administration after stabilization
Prior authorization and appeals
Some plans require prior authorization to confirm medical necessity. Our dedicated insurance verification team handles paperwork and, if needed, supports appeal requests. You’ll know exactly what your plan covers before you commit to treatment, eliminating surprises and delays.
PPO and Medicaid considerations
If you have a Cigna PPO plan, you may see slightly higher out-of-pocket costs for out-of-network providers, but Pax Healing strives to remain in-network across plan types. For those with Medicaid, we offer medicaid-approved Suboxone treatment and work with your state plan to ensure you access MAT and counseling services without financial barriers.
Explore Suboxone benefits
Medication-assisted recovery with Suboxone provides a multifaceted approach to opioid addiction by leveraging pharmacology and therapy in tandem.
How Suboxone works
Suboxone combines buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, with naloxone, an opioid antagonist. Buprenorphine binds to opioid receptors to prevent withdrawal and reduce cravings, while naloxone deters misuse if injected [3]. With a half-life of 24 to 42 hours, buprenorphine delivers steady relief, allowing you to function normally throughout the day [1].
Outcomes with long-term use
Research shows that long-term Suboxone maintenance lowers relapse rates and improves quality of life. Patients who remain in treatment beyond one year have significantly fewer hospitalizations, reduced criminal activity, and lower risk of infectious disease transmission [4]. In 2019, 75% of individuals prescribed Suboxone adhered to their regimen, illustrating its role in sustainable recovery [5].
Suboxone versus methadone
| Feature | Suboxone | Methadone |
|---|---|---|
| Dispensing location | Local pharmacy | Specialized clinic |
| Dosing frequency | Once daily or every other day | Often daily |
| Abuse-deterrent component | Naloxone | None |
| Risk of intoxication | Low | Higher |
| Take-home flexibility | High | Limited until stability established |
Suboxone’s flexibility and safety profile often make it the preferred choice for outpatient MAT.
