Our Rehab Center

Does United Healthcare Cover Drug Rehab?

First, does United Healthcare cover drug rehab? Yes, but it depends on where you go. Not all treatment centers accept insurance coverage, but finding a facility that does accept your insurance can be crucial for those otherwise unable to cover out-of-pocket costs. Northstar Recovery Center accepts United Healthcare and most other insurance plans to make treatment accessible. Every program at our center is covered by insurance.

Our Drug Rehab

United Healthcare Drug Rehab in Massachusetts

Here are the programs at our United Healthcare drug rehab in Massachusetts. With hybrid, in-person, and virtual scheduling options available, our facilities make getting quality care possible. 

Our day treatment program offers more intensive care than a traditional outpatient program. Also called a partial hospitalization program, or PHP, day treatment is a common starting level of care for our incoming clients. This immersive program meets from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays and on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM at both of our centers. The amount of therapy you’ll receive in PHP is comparable to that of an inpatient rehab program, but opting for this program means you will be able to live at home or in sober housing while getting treatment during the day.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Northstar Recovery Center is the next step down from day treatment. Rather than spend most of the day in treatment, clients in our IOP participate in three-hour-long sessions on treatment days. This reduced time commitment accommodates individuals who need to balance responsibilities, such as work, with treatment. Many people enter IOP after completing day treatment to help them transition back into typical daily life. However, IOP can also serve as a starting level of care for incoming clients.

Many people facing addiction will have another condition, such as an anxiety, mood, or trauma disorder. Northstar Recovery Center offers dual-diagnosis treatment covered by United Healthcare for clients with co-occurring mental health concerns. Available at all care levels, dual-diagnosis treatment addresses addiction and co-occurring disorders simultaneously to promote positive outcomes. For example, better psychiatric functioning, an improved quality of life, and an increased chance of recovering from or successfully managing both disorders. 

Our evening IOP meets after typical work hours, whereas other IOP options at our centers meet in the morning or during the afternoon. Evening IOP clients at our West Springfield location attend treatment from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM on treatment days. Evening IOP clients at our Southborough location attend treatment from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. 

Getting virtual addiction treatment is a convenient option for those seeking drug rehab services covered by United Healthcare who do not live near one of our centers. It can also be ideal for busy people in need of addiction treatment. Clients receiving virtual addiction treatment through our center will connect with providers via secure online therapy sessions, eliminating the need to commute to one of our campuses throughout the week. 

As part of our commitment to ongoing support, we maintain a strong network of alumni with weekly support groups. We know recovery isn’t complete after a program ends–it’s a lifelong journey. Our alumni network fosters a sense of community that can provide support throughout the ups and downs of recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. United Healthcare covers most evidence-based therapies used for addiction and mental health. However, this does not mean that your insurance company will cover every therapist near you. The best way to ensure that your car is covered is to find a therapist or treatment provider, like Northstar Recovery Center, that accepts your health insurance plan to ensure that your care is covered. 

Yes. If you need detox services covered by United Healthcare, Northstar Recovery Center can help. Our team can provide referrals to inpatient medical detox if needed (in the case of moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms). After inpatient medical detox, you can transition into therapy at our center. We provide medication management when necessary, which can be used if sub-acute (outpatient) detox is viable. 

Yes, United Healthcare covers group therapy sessions. Covered by United Healthcare plans, our programs utilize a combination of group therapy sessions (including multiple groups per day on all treatment days) and individual therapy, along with other treatments, such as family therapy. 

Using your health insurance coverage to pay for drug rehab has many benefits. First, most people do not have the means to pay for addiction treatment entirely out of pocket. Insurance coverage increases access to lifesaving addiction treatment services. Additionally, substance abuse treatment is cost-effective for insurance companies, individuals, and families, as it can help you prevent future health problems related to addiction, which can be costly.

The Northstar Recovery Center team is versed in navigating insurance-related issues, such as denied claims. If you have a problem with your United Healthcare insurance coverage, one of our staff members can contact your insurance provider for you. We're here to help you find solutions.
