When you’re exploring options for a substance abuse day program covered by Cigna in network, having a clear understanding of your benefits empowers you to take confident steps toward recovery. Pax Healing is an in-network Cigna provider offering partial hospitalization (Full Day Program), intensive outpatient (IOP), and medication assisted treatment (MAT) in Massachusetts. Each level of care combines evidence-based therapies with licensed clinicians, so you can focus on healing without financial surprises.

Cigna in network substance abuse day program

A day-program model provides structured treatment during daytime hours while you live at home, balancing intensive support with life responsibilities. As a substance abuse treatment Cigna covered provider, Pax Healing delivers medical oversight, individual therapy, group counseling, and holistic services under your Cigna in-network benefits.

Understanding partial hospitalization

Partial hospitalization programs (Full Day Program) are the most intensive “day” treatment. You’ll attend therapy five days a week for up to six hours a day, with access to:

  • Medical monitoring and nursing staff
  • Individual and group counseling
  • Family therapy sessions
  • Holistic modalities such as yoga and mindfulness

By choosing our in-network Full Day Program option, you benefit from Cigna’s negotiated rates and a multidisciplinary team dedicated to your lasting recovery.

Benefits of Full Day Program care

  • Intensive structure without residential stay
  • Fast stabilization during early recovery
  • Seamless transition to lower levels of care
  • Strong peer support in a gender-responsive environment

In network intensive outpatient program

For many, balancing recovery with work, school, or family makes IOP a practical choice. Our IOP schedule typically runs three to five days per week, three hours per day, providing flexibility without compromising quality of care.

IOP explained

Intensive outpatient programs blend:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy
  • Peer support groups
  • Case management and relapse prevention planning

You can join an accepted IOP program for substance use or explore our intensive outpatient treatment covered by Cigna to learn how IOP can fit your life.

Advantages of IOP

  • Maintain work or family commitments
  • Consistent support for co-occurring mental health issues
  • Smooth step-down from Full Day Program or residential care
  • Access to community-based recovery resources

Medication assisted treatment options

Integrating MAT into Full Day Program or IOP enhances outcomes by addressing withdrawal and cravings with FDA-approved medications, paired with counseling and behavioral therapies.

Suboxone and buprenorphine

Buprenorphine-based treatments reduce cravings and block illicit opioids. As a MAT outpatient program Cigna accepted, Pax Healing prescribes and monitors Suboxone in collaboration with therapy to support your recovery goals.

Vivitrol injection

For those preferring an opioid-antagonist approach, our Cigna-approved Vivitrol treatment center administers monthly Vivitrol injections alongside counseling to reinforce sobriety and reduce relapse risk.

Continuity with therapy

MAT at Pax Healing isn’t medication alone. You’ll receive:

  • Weekly individual counseling
  • Group relapse prevention sessions
  • Case management for social supports

This integrated model helps you build coping skills while stabilizing biologically.

Benefits of in-network care

Choosing an in-network provider like Pax Healing brings tangible advantages:

  • Lower out-of-pocket costs thanks to Cigna’s negotiated rates
  • No balance billing by in-network clinicians
  • Simplified preauthorization process
  • Clear overview of copays, deductibles, and coverage limits
  • Consistent care coordination across Full Day Program, IOP, and MAT
