UnitedHealthcare’s plans are designed to support both physical and mental wellness, with coverage options for a broad spectrum of mental health and substance use disorder treatments.

  • Residential Mental Health Treatment
  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
  • Outpatient Therapy and Counseling
  • Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment

The specific level of coverage will depend on your plan details, such as network participation, deductibles, co-pays, and whether prior authorization is required. Our admissions team can assist in verifying your benefits and outlining your options.
