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.

I think this is a wonderful rehab, the facilities are beautiful, the food is amazing (I have never even had food this good at a restaurant), and above all they have really helped my husband. Obviously anyone that first goes to rehab isn’t happy with their situation but in just two short months he was a changed person. The work they have them do on themselves got him to finally see why drugs and alcohol are no way of life. He’s finally sober and actually enjoying it! This rehab helped him so much he actually chose to stay LONGER, and I am for once excited for what the future can bring.

My experience here throughout my last few months has completely changed my whole outlook on life. Before I got here I thought my life was going towards the end. My body was failing and mental state was terrible. Every part of the program touches on every aspect of the addicts life. Now that I have finished the program and started living daily life with all of the gains I got throughout the program, failure isn’t an option. I know I can truly be happy sober now. I finally gained back the love and support from my life partner and best friend I always knew was still there. My mom also believes in me again which is so important to me. The possibilities and happiness are endless now. Thank you Elevate.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
Inpatient rehab may include medically supervised detox and residential rehab services.
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.
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.
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.
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.
