Inpatient and Outpatient Treatment
Inpatient Treatment
Optum insurance plans generally cover inpatient treatment, a level of care that involves staying full-time in an addiction treatment facility. In inpatient treatment, clients receive 24/7 medical care and behavioral health support as they go about their daily activities. Individual and group therapy can help address challenges that accompany substance abuse and mental health issues. However, it is important to ensure that your specific plan covers inpatient services and that your treatment provider is in-network with your Optum insurance.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatment, including intensive outpatient programs (IOP), is considered a less restrictive form of substance abuse treatment and usually occurs after detox and inpatient treatment. In outpatient treatment, you can expect to receive individual, family, and group therapy options while still being able to live at home. Outpatient treatment services for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders may be covered by Optum, and your outpatient treatment plan will be customized to your specific needs.
