What Substance Use Treatment Does United HealthCare Insurance Cover?
United HealthCare insurance may be able to cover substance use disorder (SUD) treatment in the state of Florida. Depending on your plan, insurance may cover at least part of the cost of:
- Medical Detox – When a person undergoes medical detoxification, medications and other interventions may be used to minimize withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially dangerous side effects in a safe and controlled environment.
- Residential or Inpatient Treatment – Inpatient or residential treatment is beneficial in the way that it allows a patient to have some distance from their potentially negative home environments so they focus entirely on their recovery. A patient will live at the treatment facility and receive treatment from substance abuse professionals.
- Outpatient Rehab – Compared to a residential inpatient facility, outpatient rehab does not require a patient to stay overnight. The treatment received will take place in different settings, such as a rehab center, hospital, or mental health clinic for a specific number of hours per week.
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – MAT consists of using medications and behavioral interventions to minimize cravings, block rewarding properties, and decrease the need to abuse substances.
