Insurance providers cover substance use disorder treatment. It’s important to understand if the treatment provider is in-network or out of network because the financial responsibility for patients is higher when you see an out-of-network provider. United Healthcare and other insurance companies pay for the medical needs of their patients at the appropriate levels of care. That means that the length of stay in treatment and the level of care that you receive is based upon the severity of your substance use disorder, the symptoms that you are experiencing and any co-morbidities that might be in place as a result of your substance use disorder. It truly depends on the coverage you have, the severity of your addiction, and if the treatment provider is in-network or out of network.  The clinical team creates a treatment plan that must be approved by the insurance company and be a medical necessity based on the conditions and diagnosis.
