Most of those expensive 'rapid-detox' methods are a scam anyways, so don't worry about that whole thing. They typically involve putting you under (for like a whole DAY!) and administering an opioid antagonist to basically put you into immediate withdrawals, which you don't feel cause you're out.
In a sense it is a way to 'jump-start' the recovery process a little bit, but in the long run, it's SOOOO not worth the money they charge. When you wake up, you are going to be smack in the middle of horrible withdrawals. This process does not 'fix' you, it just neutralizes any opioids still in your system.
A lot of people are under the mistaken impression that the terrible effects of opioid detox are being caused by the 'toxins leaving your system'. When you're hungover from drinking, this is, in fact the case. But it's not with opioid detox. The W/D's are caused by massive chemical imbalances in natural brain chemicals and hormones, and this cannot be magically fixed by simply removing the so-called 'toxins'.
So ... I doubt you're missing out on anything great by not spending the $16K
And yes, most insurance plans will cover suboxone.
