Struggling With Addiction? Your UHC Insurance May Cover Treatment.
If you or someone you care about is addicted and wondering how to afford help, you’re not alone. Lack of knowledge about cost is one of the most common reasons people delay seeking treatment. At West Side Recovery, we believe firmly that good care should never be out of reach. That’s why we proudly accept UHC insurance, one of the country’s largest health insurers.
Regardless of what drug you’re fighting against — alcohol, opioids, fentanyl, or another drug — your UHC policy can cover a lot of the care we provide. This includes detoxification, counseling, dual diagnosis treatment, and aftercare. We have experience with UnitedHealthcare policies, and we’ll sit down with you and explain what your coverage will be prior to your admission for treatment.
What Is UHC Insurance and How Does It Help With Addiction Treatment?
What is UHC insurance? UnitedHealthcare is one of the most recognized health insurance providers in the U.S., offering a wide range of coverage types, including employer-sponsored and individual health plans. Many UHC policies include behavioral health coverage, which often extends to substance use treatment services like those offered at West Side Recovery.
If you have a UHC plan, it may cover various services, including medical detox, partial hospitalization, outpatient therapy, and mental health counseling. Your plan may also help with medication-assisted treatment (MAT), individual therapy sessions, and services for co-occurring disorders.
However, insurance plans can vary. Some policies may cover the full cost of care, while others may require co-pays or deductibles. At West Side Recovery, we simplify the process by working directly with UHC to confirm what your plan includes. Once we have that information, we’ll clearly explain your options so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Does Insurance Cover Drug Treatment at West Side Recovery?
One of the most common concerns for those considering rehab is cost. Many ask, “Does insurance cover drug treatment?” Fortunately, in most cases, the answer is yes. If you have UHC insurance, your plan likely includes mental health and substance use benefits that can be applied to your care at West Side Recovery.
Our admissions team will verify your insurance coverage in a matter of minutes. Once we’ve confirmed your benefits, we’ll explain what services are available under your plan and whether any out-of-pocket costs apply. This takes the stress out of the financial side of treatment, allowing you to focus entirely on getting better.
At West Side Recovery, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality care. By working with UHC insurance, we’re helping more individuals in San Diego get treatment without added financial barriers. Whether you’re looking for detox support, outpatient services, or therapy for dual diagnosis conditions, your UHC plan may be able to help make it all possible.
What UHC Insurance May Cover at West Side Recovery
Detox Services for Drugs and Alcohol
Detox is the first step for many on the path to recovery. West Side Recovery offers medically supervised detoxification from alcohol, opioids, fentanyl, and other substances. The services stabilize your physical condition and manage withdrawal symptoms safely.
Detox is often covered under UHC insurance, with access to medical supervision and medication that eases withdrawal symptoms. Under the care of experienced medical professionals, patients undergo detox in a secure and supportive environment, setting them up for the next phase of recovery.
PHP and IOP Addiction Treatment
After detox, most of the clients continue treatment in either a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Both of these levels of care are formal and yet flexible, offering therapy, group work, and mental health services on a less-than-full-time residential treatment basis.
UHC insurance may cover both IOP and PHP, based on your plan specifics. Both programs are designed to help clients learn coping skills, relapse prevention, and build a solid foundation for long-term sobriety down the road. Our clinical staff will work with you to prescribe the correct level of care and guide you through your insurance benefits.
Dual Diagnosis and Mental Health Therapy
For many people in recovery, mental health plays a significant role. Conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder often occur alongside substance use. At West Side Recovery, we specialize in dual diagnosis treatment to address both challenges together.
UHC plans that include mental health benefits typically cover therapy options like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These therapeutic approaches help clients better understand their thought patterns, manage emotions, and reduce the risk of relapse. If your plan includes mental health coverage, we’ll help you apply it toward the therapy services you need.
Holistic Services and Experiential Therapy
Recovery doesn’t just involve clinical treatment—it also includes rediscovering life beyond addiction. That’s why West Side Recovery incorporates holistic and experiential therapies into our programs. These include yoga, art therapy, surfing, and even skateboarding, which offer opportunities for expression, stress relief, and personal growth.
Some UHC insurance plans may cover these services if they are part of your customized treatment plan. These experiences offer additional support by helping clients connect with their bodies, process emotions, and explore healthy routines in sobriety.
