Magellan Health Services announced the results of an innovative substance abuse treatment program launched in 2010 called Magellan Integrated Substance Use Solutions. An analysis of a year's worth of data from the medication-assisted treatment portion of that program shows significant reductions in readmissions from participants. Those participating in MAT had 21% fewer readmissions to a facility at seven days after discharge than those who were not discharged on medications, 20% fewer readmissions after 30 days, and 19% fewer readmissions after 60 days. The same 2011 report indicated that Magellan members with substance abuse diagnoses who participate in a more intensely monitored group due to the severity of their need, had 54% fewer readmissions at seven days after discharge than those who were not discharged on medications, 42% fewer after 30 days, and 14% fewer after 60 days. | |
