This page walks through the questions that tend to matter most to families weighing a specific program.

Care levels at Martinsburg Institute

On care levels specifically: The facility offers a continuum of care across multiple levels — Detox, Outpatient, MAT — which means it can, in principle, hold a patient across the arc of a typical treatment episode. The practical question is whether it is genuinely strong at each level, or whether one level is the core business and the others are secondary. What that means in practice is that matching Martinsburg Institute to the right clinical situation depends on whether you or a loved one needs the level of care this facility actually offers — which is a clinician's judgment, not a facility's sales pitch.

Insurance and payment

On insurance specifically: Martinsburg Institute accepts Medicaid — which is consequential because facilities that accept Medicaid tend to have the broadest patient populations and the most developed public-sector relationships, though reimbursement structures mean program intensity sometimes differs from commercial-focused centers. Before admission, ask the facility's utilization-review team for a written Verification of Benefits — not verbal assurance, which is where most post-treatment financial surprises come from. Also ask for specific plan-level confirmation, not carrier-level (e.g., "your Aetna PPO plan" not just "Aetna").

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Adult women, Pregnant/postpartum women, Adult men. If that matches what you or your family member need, great — and worth asking specifically about what the programming looks like day-to-day (how many hours per week of specialty-specific content, who leads it, what credentials they hold).

Before you call

Three questions to put to Martinsburg Institute before admission: the specific ASAM level the facility is billing; the written Verification of Benefits for your specific plan product; the MAT policy (continuation of buprenorphine or methadone during residential, specifically). The facility's documented pharmacotherapy offerings suggest MAT is available — confirm the specific medications and prescriber access during the admissions conversation. Getting answers in writing protects against the downstream surprises.
