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 worked better than I expected. The staff is remarkable - professional, considerate and genuinely caring. 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. I feel confident, secure and grateful for my new life. I have reconnected with my family and friends. Thank you Soberman.

I checked myself in for alcoholism and opiate abuse. I was drinking so much I was falling and hurting myself and ruining my marriage and on a path to possibly loosing job and even land myself in jail. I was miserable and at rock bottom. Once there after the detox period i started attending group therapy sessions, individual therapy session’s sessions, and working with the techs to become involved in my recovery process. First 5 days i was detoxing and once that was over i got super involved in the program and day by day got better each day. I received excellent nursing and medical provider support. I had amazing group therapy sessions. I was fed delicious meals every day. I had a great case manager and had a primary therapist who was absolutely perfect. The staff was absolutely first class and my treatment started me on a successful path to recovery. This place literally changed my life. They took care of my every need physically, mentally, and emotionally. I highly recommend if you need help for addiction this is where you need to be.

This place has changed my life. I have been to rehabs before but I felt like this place is where I would get clean for the last time since i walked in the doors. The music assisted therapy was perfect for me and the staff is all amazing. The groups are really beneficial and really got down to the core of why i turned to drinking every time something upset me. I felt like they really listened to me and i felt heard and seen. I am excited to continue on with alumni and events and life long friendships.

It is truly life changing. You get out of the experience, and classroom work, what you put in. Pay attention and be honest! If you want to stay sober and stay clean, you gotta learn about yourself, not just the disease of addiction. All in Solutions really supports that part of recovery in a real and practical way.

My experience with All In Solutions has been a transforming experience from the moment they picked me up from detox. I walked in the door of their facility, broken, physically, mentally and spiritually. I was met at the front door by the intake coordinator. This lady completed my intake in a very welcoming, calming relatable and professional way.
Throughout the intake, she kept checking on me by offering me something to drink, eat and reassured me that I was safe and that there was Hope. I was immediately met with the medications, director, nurse, practitioner, nurse practitioner assistant and my amazing case manager. The housing director explained to me what my housing was going to look like. I was always given guidance and explained what was going on at all times.All of these people have been their for me every step of the way! I love the whole program at All In Solutions. The groups were facilitated by very professional, innovated, creative individuals that were not only relatable. Every employee at All In Solutions have been very kind, professional caring, giving people. Most of the employees are in recovery themselves, and even if they were not in recovery, they were still relatable, caring, giving people. I was only gonna stay for two weeks. Then extended to four weeks.Then I extended for six weeks at All In Solutions. I went from no Hope to seeing my life in a whole new perspective. All In Solutions gave me purpose hope perspective! They all gave me my life back in a whole new energized way! I can see clearly now that the rain is gone! I would definitely recommend All In Solutions to anyone! This is the best treatment facility I have ever seen in this country. Thank you so very much, All In Solutions!! You all saved my life!!

I completed 86-days at Hawaiian Island Recovery, and it was genuinely one of the most effective and supportive treatment experiences I’ve had. From the moment I arrived, the team was accommodating, opened their doors without hesitation, and consistently put my best interests first. In a field where programs can feel rigid or profit-driven, HIR stood out for its pragmatic, patient-centered approach.
Their holistic therapy model is modern, layered, and actually produces results. I received comprehensive care that included multiple forms of psychotherapy, EMDR, Parts work, somatic experiencing, massage therapy, acupuncture, and regular yoga. Beyond the clinical work, they provided substantial education on addiction and trauma that gave me a much clearer understanding of the underlying issues I was dealing with. The integration of these modalities felt thoughtful rather than scattered, it addressed both the mind and the body in a way that built real momentum in recovery.
The facility itself is exceptional. The house is by far the most luxurious and comfortable treatment environment I’ve experienced. The food was outstanding, nutritious, flavorful, and the chef was always willing to accommodate dietary needs or preferences. Daily life there felt supportive rather than institutional.
The house managers are compassionate people who truly understand what residents are going through. Most notably, my case manager Chevone was outstanding. She is highly competent, deeply understanding, and acted as a strong advocate for my needs throughout the program. She was a keystone figure in my time at HIR, coordinating care, pushing for what was truly helpful, and keeping everything aligned with my recovery goals.
If you’re serious about addressing addiction and trauma with a high-end, integrative program that doesn’t cut corners on comfort or clinical depth, I would recommend Hawaiian Island Recovery without hesitation. The combination of clinical excellence, luxury accommodations, and genuinely caring staff made a real difference for me.

HIR was exactly what I needed! I was at an absolute low point in my life and this place completely turned things around. The staff was extremely friendly and caring, some have years of recovery themselves so they’re also very easy to relate to. The meetings they took us to were extremely helpful and even fun! Delicious home cooked meals are prepared everyday by a wonderful Chef, yum. I stayed 30 days but wish I could have stayed the full 90. I still go back on alumni days and Big Book Studies to stay in touch with everyone there, I love HIR!

I did 60 days at the residential program and it genuinely changed my life. This wasn’t my first time in rehab I’d been to two other facilities on the mainland that didn’t stick. What was different here is that they built my treatment plan around me specifically, not a one-size-fits-all schedule. The therapists actually listened. The staff-to-client ratio is small so you’re not just a number. Frank and Fernando were incredible to work with during individual and group sessions. Being on the Big Island away from my usual environment and triggers gave me space to actually focus. I’ve been sober since completing the program and I credit this place for that.

The staff truly cares about their patients and provided care that met my needs. The whole program exceeded my expectations and I can't thank everyone enough for the impact they made on my life and mental health. Deciding to seek treatment was not an easy thing for me but I am so glad I chose Footprints to Recovery. It wasn't all just sitting around doing therapy all day and we got the chance to do yoga, art and music therapy, and also go outdoors with Adventure Recovery. If you are considering treatment I highly encourage you to invest in yourself and give Footprints a call!

Footprints was an absolutely stellar facility to go to after completing inpatient addiction treatment. The staff were all very patient and understanding during my biggest ups and downs during treatment, and I never felt any judgement even at my lowest points.
Recovery is such a serious rock to carry but the groups and providers helped me collect the tools necessary to be able to tackle this journey on my own.
The nursing team was incredibly helpful in finding me medications that are actually helping my mental health and addiction cravings. I've had more success in the three months I got to share with Footprints than the years I've worked with my primary care and therapist.
Andrew with case management is hilarious and hugely helpful with resources and managing work and life alongside treatment.
Anika is an incredible therapist and I am sad to leave her care, but know she will continue to do amazing things for other clients.
If you are struggling with any substance abuse, I highly recommend seeking help with Footprints. They will absolutely get you back on your feet.

Bracebridge was and is a lifesaver for me. Not only is the staff 100% invested and amazing, the campus, the food, and facilities definitely contribute to making the tough time a little more bearable. Special shoutout to Tammy who was my Primary Therapist. She pushed and supported me during my stay and I am eternally grateful for her. Another shoutout to Dan, the alumni coordinator. While the entire staff is amazing when you're on the inside, Dan keeps the alumni engaged and active once you leave campus. While it sucked HAVING to be there, I absolutely loved the experience and in hindsight, I have Bracbridge to thank for giving me the tools to have my life back. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

My time at RCA Bracebridge Hall truly changed my life. I spent 30 days there, and it was one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences I’ve ever had.
The program was incredibly informative and gave me the tools I needed to move forward with confidence. What stood out the most, though, was the level of support. The staff genuinely care, you can feel that they have big hearts and are fully invested in helping each person succeed. They made sure I felt prepared for life after leaving, which made a huge difference for me.
I also met some amazing people during my stay, and those connections meant a lot. The facility itself is beautiful and in a peaceful location, which really helped me focus on my recovery.
One of the most valuable parts of the experience has been the alumni support group. Staying connected after leaving has been so important, and the program they’ve built is truly special. Dan, in particular, has done so much for the alumni community, and I’m incredibly grateful for his dedication and support.
I feel very blessed to have had this experience, and I would highly recommend RCA Bracebridge Hall to anyone seeking help and a fresh start.

Tree House Recovery PDX saved my life. I hit a new rock bottom during the holidays. I was reluctant to going to a typical, 30-day, institutional rehab center like I did over the summer because that didn't work. But then I saw that Tree House was a three month program with a focus in physical exercise, writing, and learning to work as a team. My expectations weren't met -- they were exceeded. I recently graduated on April 3rd and am a better man now than I was before I started using and drinking. I've learned how to be empathetic, hold myself and others accountable, find gratitude in my daily life, lean on my teammates during times of struggle, and how to celebrate little and big wins in my life with healthy pride.
The staff is amazing too. Rob, Nevin, Doug, Bryan and Kevin are all great men who are now role models in my life. They challenged me, listened to me, and gave me advice and suggestions I have taken to help me soar.
If you're struggling, you don't have to do it alone. I would highly recommend this program for any man who is having trouble with addiction and needs to turn his life around.
Thank you, Tree House.

My decision to attend treatment was one of the most important decisions of my life and I could not have made a better choice than Treehouse Recovery. This was my first time in treatment and I was terrified while researching places to go. From the very first phone call, the staff at Treehouse made me feel heard, supported, and helped to ease my mind that help was available and change was possible. I could tell from the initial conversations on the phone that was a place that truly cared for each and every client. That same empathetic and welcoming attitude was expressed and carried on at every other step of the process. Embarking on the treatment journey was a time in my life marked by fear and uncertainty but with Treehouse, I knew I had the best support possible and was certainly in great hands.
Before Treehouse, I was living a miserable and isolated life and desperately needed help to get back on track. Throughout the course of the program, I was able to find a strong sense of discipline, integrity, and perseverance and as a result, rebuild myself into the best version of my self that has ever existed. Treehouse’s wholistic approach to treatment empowers each client and arms them with the skills and tools needed to sustain a lasting recovery.
If you are ready to work hard and make some lasting changes to better your life, Treehouse is the best possible choice you can make.

Recovery is rarely a straight path. For me, it was marked by multiple attempts—each one beginning with hope and ending in frustration. I wanted sobriety, but wanting it and sustaining it were two very different things. Each setback carried shame, doubt, and the quiet fear that maybe lasting change just wasn’t meant for me.
Six years ago, everything shifted—but not for me at first. It was my husband whose life was saved by Treehouse. At a time when things felt beyond repair, they stepped in and gave him not just support, but a real chance at living again. Watching his transformation planted a seed in me, even if I wasn’t ready to fully act on it yet.
When I finally completed my own inpatient program, I was fragile but hopeful. Through my husband Treehouse met me right where I was offering suggestions for a straight transition into sober living for women, giving me a safe and structured environment where I could begin to rebuild. For a full year, I worked on myself in ways I never had before. During that time, Treehouse didn’t just check in—they actively supported my growth through their family program facilitating weekly therapy sessions that helped me understand myself, my patterns, and my path forward.
Their presence didn’t end there. Years later, Treehouse was still standing beside our family during one of the most challenging chapters of our lives—our court-mandated reunification. They ensured our son had access to therapy, advocating for healing not just individually, but as a family. Their continued support reminded us that recovery is not a moment in time—it’s an ongoing journey, and no one should have to walk it alone.
Today, I can say with certainty that Treehouse has been an integral part of our success. They didn’t just help us get sober—they helped us build a life beyond what we ever thought possible. A life grounded in stability, growth, and connection.
Some organizations provide services. Treehouse became something much more. They became our support system, our foundation, and ultimately, our family.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider.
If you wish to connect with non-sponsor centers, you can browse top-rated listings, visit our homepage and browse by state, or visit SAMHSA.
