UnitedHealth Group is a global business that provides a variety of health focused solutions. Their UnitedHealthcare company offers health insurance for over 29 million people in the United States. They also have 2.2 million people insured in South America. For folks who are older you can get a Medicare Advantage plan through UnitedHealth. They also have Medicaid plans for lower income folks in multiple states.
Does UnitedHealth Group Cover Addiction Treatment?
There are a lot of treatment options to help you leave addiction behind. Best of all, most UnitedHealthcare plans can help pay at least some of the costs of drug rehab. Back in 2010 there was a law passed called the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The law said that most long term health insurance plans have to offer coverage for specific types of care, and both mental healthcare and addiction treatment are on the list.
There are exceptions to the law, however, so be sure to verify your insurance coverage before you start rehab.
How the coverage works will depend on your specific plan. For specific details about your coverage you should talk to the insurance company. For example, they can help you choose a center that’s part of the network and maximize your insurance benefits.

This place is a great place to go if you need help with substance abuse or just mental health as well. When I went, I unfortunately didn’t take it very seriously but the people that did take it seriously have been very successful. Kyler was a great mentor while I was there, and he along with the other techs all seem very genuine and honest and willing to help in anyway they can. I am extremely grateful for this place, as well as Kyler especially. I don’t think I would be where I am today without him as a mentor.
Soberman’s estate saved my life and the staff was tremendously amazing. I deeply appreciate their commitment to assisting individuals battling with depression and other addictions. Thank you Brady, Trish, Janice, Jody, Allen and the entire staff.

My partner spent 9 weeks here last fall. Having tried other inpatient and outpatient programs, I can say that Soberman's truly helped him discover what life was worth living for. The staff and the care they provide are top-notch. I think this place truly saved his life. From a family perspective, I really appreciated how they included me and others in his family in his care. The family support calls and the ability to do family therapy sessions helped me understand his journey better, but to also understand my role in all of this. Overall, I can't recommend Soberman's enough; we are grateful to be a part of their community!

Soberman’s Estate was everything I needed for my recovery. The staff, the program, physical activity and culinary experience were top notch and essential. The program is well designed and works better than I expected. My time there and being removed from alcohol for five weeks was everything I needed to remove my craving for alcohol. Soberman has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined.

Jaywalker Lodge is truly a phenomenal facility. It is so much more than that. Treatment centers tend to boast about and claim to be what Jaywalker actually embodies. Jaywalker Lodge is a fully comprehensive recovery community. It is a sacred place of healing that I would emphatically recommend to anyone seeking recovery.

This is Maxwell Kremin a former and proud patient. I came to Jaywalker after a very bad experience at another treatment facility. Over there, there was a clear focus on money over treatment. This is the exact opposite of Jaywalker. Jaywalker would not spare a dime if it meant that we would have a better experience during recovery. The staff are incredible and the other patients I met were some of the most amazing guys I’ve met in my entire life. If you or someone you care about is dealing with addiction this is hands-down the only place in America to send them if you truly care about them. I extend my sincerest appreciation to all still working at Jaywalker.
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR SYMETRIA AND THE GREAT STAFF.They are very helpful with any questions or concerns you may have about the program They make you feel at easeThey don't judge you it's a really great and safe place to began recovery. I highly recommend symyetriaTo all staff : thanks so much. N.B

Symetria saved my life in more than one way. Each member of this team deeply cares about the patient without judgement. Vannah is such an incredible Clinician who truly listens, is an advocate for her patients, and is helping me work through my trauma to heal in a healthy way. I am forever grateful for this entire team: Samantha, Vannah, Dr. Son, the wonderful nurses. Thank you for saving my life and helping me heal.
This place changed and saved my life. I owe the staff and owners everything. They took a dead man walking and gave me hope through God and the 12 steps of Narcotics Anonymous. If you need a way out I recommend you give this program a chance. It is above and beyond a different take on rehabilitation. The staff really care, the groups are small and even the owners really support recovery. It's a blessing from God or whatever your higher power may be. May you find him today...

I completed my treatment at Enlight Treatment Center a year ago, and it was a truly transformative experience. When I first arrived, I was dealing with the aftermath of a broken jaw and the emotional scars from being tortured at a fake detox center, which left me terrified to trust anyone. The staff at Enlight went above and beyond to accommodate my needs, ensuring I received the best care possible.Understanding my dietary restrictions due to the injury, the chef prepared special meals that were easy for me to consume, allowing me to focus on healing without worrying about nutrition. This attention to detail and compassion made a significant difference in my recovery journey.The comprehensive care I received included a tailored treatment plan addressing both my substance use issues and the emotional challenges I faced. The staff's genuine compassion and understanding helped me slowly rebuild trust and feel safe in my environment. Their dual-diagnosis approach was instrumental in helping me manage co-occurring mental health conditions and regain control over my life.I am especially thankful for their expertise in helping me get clean off Suboxone, which was a significant milestone in my recovery journey. The caring environment at Enlight made all the difference, providing me with the support and encouragement I needed to overcome my fears and embrace a new chapter in life.Reflecting on the past year, I am incredibly grateful for the foundation Enlight Treatment Center provided, enabling me to overcome not only my addiction but also the physical and emotional hurdles I faced upon arrival. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking compassionate and comprehensive care.-Nik

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cared for. Having a private room was a huge plus it gave me the personal space I needed to focus on my recovery while still managing my work and school. The fact that I could use my phone and laptop was incredibly helpful, allowing me to stay connected and on top of everything while receiving the care I needed.The staff were incredible not only professional but genuinely caring. They treated me like a friend, making the whole experience feel much more comfortable. The facility itself is very comfy. Plus, there were plenty of fun outings that kept me active and distracted in the best way possible.If you're looking for a place where you can focus on recovery while still maintaining your responsibilities, I can t recommend this place enough!

I had the privilege of going through detox at this facility. To say this place is awesome is an understatement. They sincerely care about your well being and health. It's a small facility so they can spend more individual time with the residents. They cater three amazing meals a day along with snacks 24/7. If you are truly thinking about changing your life forever, this is the place you want to start your journey. I highly recommend this to anyone needing help. Thank you for reading. Sincerely Anthony W.

Costello is my SAG name. My name is James Dupee. I have been visiting the clinic for over a year and have been very pleased. Adam is the best Counselor/Therapist I have ever confided in. He is personable and understanding as well as straight forward with his advice. Cynthia is the most amazing face of a company I have ever met. She is kind and professional yet makes me laugh every time I stop in. The nurses are equally professional and personable. 5 Stars from me.

Symetria Recovery saved my life!! I was driving down the highway suffering major withdraw from opioid addiction. I found Symetria Recovery and they had me in the very next day. When I got tested, I was positive for Fentanyl, which had to of come from something off the street. I nearly had a panic attack thinking about my life ending, leaving behind my wife and 3 beautiful children. I've been here for about 18 months clean and sober and have never been happier. It feels great to be "me" again. Addiction causes you to lose yourself. With the help of the staff at Symetria, you CAN be saved!! Come get saved at Symetria Recovery!!

What Insurance Plans Does UnitedHealth Group Offer?
You can find UnitedHealth plans in every state except New York. They have many different plans to help their members access healthcare.
In the United States individual and family plans are provided in three primary kinds of insurance plans. They are Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), and Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPO).
A PPO gives you maximum flexibility which is important. It also has the most expensive premium. PPO plans often provide out of network benefits, which means you can go to any facility you want. However, the insurance will cover less of the cost and you will cover the rest. That’s why it’s a good idea to find a provider in the network if possible.
An HMO is the least expensive monthly, but you can only use network doctors and facilities. Overall, United Healthcare works with over 1.3 million doctors and 6,700 hospitals and facilities, but your specific plan will have a smaller network focused on your local area. You’ll need to have a designated primary doctor and have them give you referrals for specialized care, which includes drug rehab.
An EPO requires you to choose in network doctors and facilities, but what I like about these plans is that you don’t need a referral to see a specialist. That means you have more flexibility about where and when you get the help you need.
UnitedHealth has insurance policies in almost every state. Make sure you fully understand your coverage. That will allow you to get the help you need while maximizing your insurance benefits.
United HealthCare also provides certain Medicare plans. Medicare Advantage through UHC includes the same benefits as Original Medicare and usually has a prescription benefit. The plan may also offer vision and dental coverage along with free fitness memberships and more.
Both Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans have premiums and deductibles along with other out of pocket costs like copayments or coinsurance. One advantage of Medicare Advantage plans is that they often have set copayments instead of having you pay a percentage of the bill. This ensures you know what to expect and that there are no great surprises when you receive your healthcare bills.
With Original Medicare you can see any participating Medicare providers or facilities in the United States. With Medicare Advantage, you may be required to see providers or seek care with in network providers only. There are exceptions in cases of emergency or urgent care situations.
UnitedHealth also offers Medicare Supplement plans which are known as Medigap. Medigap is a supplemental insurance plan that helps you pay some out of pocket expenses such as your coinsurance. These plans are meant to help Medicare be more affordable.
For people with special needs UHC offers a Medicaid plan called Dual Eligible Special Needs plans (D SNP). This type of plan offers participants additional coverage because it allows for individuals to be covered under both Medicaid and Medicare if they meet eligibility requirements.
They also offer Medicare Part D which is a plan for prescription medication coverage.
United HealthCare offers Medicaid plans to lower income individuals and families in specific states. For qualifying children and adolescents, they offer a medicaid plan called Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP).
Medicaid generally offers coverage for addiction treatment but you need to find a provider that accepts Medicaid coverage. Each state has its own state and county funded programs that may accept this insurance plan and often you can get care for $0 or a very low fee.
What Inpatient Rehab Does UnitedHealth Group Offer?
Inpatient rehab is a covered service for many with United Healthcare but you should verify your mental health benefits before obtaining services. You might have to have documentation of medical necessity and it’s important to know which providers and facilities are in network for your plan.
Medically supervised detox can be done in an inpatient hospital setting or residential rehab facilities. During medical detox individuals with alcohol and substance use disorder receive close medical supervision from qualified professionals and may receive FDA approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially serious health complications.
This type of treatment is especially beneficial for those with serious addictions especially when the addiction is to alcohol, barbiturates and/or opiates. Detox can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks with the average completion time of 5 to 14 days. After completion of medical detox individuals typically enter inpatient rehab or outpatient treatment.
Inpatient or residential rehab centers include individual and group therapy in a structured setting with 24/7 support. In some programs you can continue with a longer term medication assisted treatment (MAT) depending on your unique needs. Many inpatient programs also use other therapy methods such as music and art therapy along with holistic treatment options such as massage and yoga.
What Outpatient Addiction Treatment Does UnitedHealth Group Offer?
Most UnitedHealth plans cover outpatient alcohol and substance abuse treatment for members. Coverage and plans differ so it is important to check the benefits summary for information on what is covered and determine if in network providers must be used or if prior authorization is required.
Outpatient treatment options such as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient along with medication assisted treatment are options that can help you on your recovery journey.
Some outpatient care is more intensive and other programs are less so. A PHP is a full day program that’s similar to residential care except you don’t live at the facility — you go home at night. A PHP is not the right approach for everyone so it is important to discuss options with your healthcare providers to understand what is right for your treatment plan.
The goal of a PHP is to help with sustained recovery and prevent relapse by helping individuals improve coping skills, develop a relapse prevention plan and put together a community support system.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is often the next step in recovery once residential or PHP treatment is completed. Understanding that early recovery can be difficult an IOP offers individuals intensive treatment including nine or more hours of treatment per week and a structured plan for recovery. You might also be able to receive MAT during treatment.
The goal of IOP is to help individuals prevent relapse and to develop coping strategies and behavioral change. They also help you establish or re establish support systems. Individuals participate in individual counseling and group therapy sessions and may include vocational training and case management services.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a form of treatment available for alcohol and opioid addictions. With this form of treatment FDA approved medications are combined with other therapies to treat substance use disorders. United HealthCare plans may cover expenses for any prescription medications that are required for your addiction treatment such as Suboxone or methadone. The specific plan determines how much you’ll have to pay out of pocket.
Keep in mind you may need a referral to a MAT program to get insurance coverage, and your doctor might need to preauthorize the care with the insurance company before you begin.
Can I Travel Out of State for Treatment With UnitedHealth Group?
The type of UnitedHealthcare policy you are enrolled in will determine whether or not out of state care is covered.
Some insurance plans require that members only see providers or use facilities and healthcare systems that are in their network. For those plans, you would not be able to travel out of state unless the other state had in network providers for your specific plan. For example most UHC Medicare Advantage plans are HMOs and will not cover out of network services.
Again, it is important to know your policy. Utilizing the UnitedHealthcare website or calling and speaking with a representative can help clarify any questions about covered benefits.
How to Verify Coverage With UnitedHealth
There are multiple ways to verify UnitedHealthcare coverage. You can call the number on the back of your member card and speak with a representative about coverage and also ask any questions you have about providers or required documentation. Members can go to the UnitedHealthcare website to verify coverage and find providers.
For many, a treatment center you’re interested in can offer assistance in verifying active insurance. They can let you know if your doctor needs to send a referral or ask for preauthorization. Because UnitedHealthcare offers so many different types of health insurance programs in many states it is important that you have the specific name of your plan available when verifying coverage.
Calls to any general helpline will be answered or returned by a paid advertiser.
By calling the helpline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses. There is no obligation to enter treatment.
