Yes, drug and alcohol rehabilitation services are covered under all Discovery Medical Aid plans, albeit with varying levels of benefits and coverages depending on the specific plan selected by the member. Discovery Medical Aid, understanding the critical importance of accessible treatment for substance abuse and alcohol dependency, incorporates rehabilitation coverage across its spectrum of health plans to ensure members can receive the support and treatment they need. This inclusive approach demonstrates Discovery’s commitment to the holistic health and well-being of its members, recognising that recovery from substance abuse is a pivotal step towards long-term health restoration.

Coverage for drug and alcohol rehabilitation under Discovery Medical Aid plans is intricately designed to cater to a wide range of needs, offering different levels of support across its plan categories:

– **Comprehensive Plans** provide extensive coverage for in-hospital and out-of-hospital rehabilitation treatments, embodying a robust solution for individuals requiring intensive and prolonged care, including support for dual diagnosis conditions that often accompany substance abuse issues.

– **Priority Plans** offer balanced coverage with significant in-hospital benefits, suitable for members needing substantial rehabilitation care but may not require as extensive out-of-hospital treatment support.

– **Saver Plans**, while primarily focusing on basic in-hospital coverage, also include benefits for drug and alcohol rehabilitation, ensuring members on a tighter budget or with anticipated lesser degrees of in-hospital care can still access necessary treatments.

– **Core Plans** and other entry-level options are designed to provide essential in-hospital care cover, including for rehabilitation services, ensuring even the most fundamental Discovery plans address the need for accessible treatment options.
