Soberman’s Estate was everything I needed for my recovery. The staff, the program, physical activity and culinary experience were top notch and essential. The program is well designed and worked better than I expected. The staff is remarkable - professional, considerate and genuinely caring. My time there and being removed from alcohol for five weeks was everything I needed to remove my craving for alcohol. Soberman has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. I feel confident, secure and grateful for my new life. I have reconnected with my family and friends. Thank you Soberman.

St Christopher was a wonderful experience for me to get sober, learn about Alcoholics Anonymous, and learn about the disease and about myself. The staff from the front office down were fantastic, before, during, and after treatment. I would recommend this place to anyone

I have been a professional interventionist since 2010. I was introduced to this program in 2012. I have been referring there since then. My clients have always had a positive experience and the clinical and support staff are the most responsive and knowledgeable. They want what’s best for the client and the family and have long term options. They do very well young adult males and most recently I referred a 69 year old man first time treatment. It was a family member and he’s doing very well and committed to 90 days of treatment. I can’t thank the clinical staff and administrators enough for the program they have created. Please contact me if you would like to know more. Thank you STC!!!

BEST PLACE EVER. I have tried various other doctors/clinics and none of them even begin to compare to this one. The staff here is absolutely amazing. I can’t even make a single complaint. Dr Son is the best as well. He explains everything and you truly feel like he understands you. I can proudly say this, this place saved my life. If you or someone you know needs help getting off opiates do it right the first time and come here. You won’t be disappointed. If you are specifically struggling with fentanyl please don’t waste your time with other ways. I have tried 6 other methods from lazer therapy to having the earpiece to suboxone. Methadone is the key to our current fentanyl crisis. This clinic makes recovery possible again!

This place is not your ordinary rehab facility. They go beyond your standard rehabilitation and literally "Elevate" your life to a new level you didn't think was ever possible before. The program is structured in a way that you desire to learn more and give more into the healing process. If you take the necessary steps and put your heart into the program you will come out with a newfound appreciation for life and all that surrounds you. Please take this step, as my husband did, to embrace your life and get the healing you deserve and owe yourself.

I think this is a wonderful rehab, the facilities are beautiful, the food is amazing (I have never even had food this good at a restaurant), and above all they have really helped my husband. Obviously anyone that first goes to rehab isn’t happy with their situation but in just two short months he was a changed person. The work they have them do on themselves got him to finally see why drugs and alcohol are no way of life. He’s finally sober and actually enjoying it! This rehab helped him so much he actually chose to stay LONGER, and I am for once excited for what the future can bring.

My experience here throughout my last few months has completely changed my whole outlook on life. Before I got here I thought my life was going towards the end. My body was failing and mental state was terrible. Every part of the program touches on every aspect of the addicts life. Now that I have finished the program and started living daily life with all of the gains I got throughout the program, failure isn’t an option. I know I can truly be happy sober now. I finally gained back the love and support from my life partner and best friend I always knew was still there. My mom also believes in me again which is so important to me. The possibilities and happiness are endless now. Thank you Elevate.

This program was God sent. When I was going through with my family member, they listened to all my cries and no one from the group ever judged me for it. The after effects are wonderful and I can’t imagine not being able to share my hurts, pains and my joys to anyone else besides this group. Thx Miranda and Sarah for being there every single week.😇🙏🏾💕

If you are nervous, hesitant, conflicted about getting help or helping a loved one get help, there isn’t a more warm-welcoming & safe place to be. All catagories you can possibly think of that would make a treatment center perfect, is exactly what Enlight Treatment Center is. I came immediately after being at another treatment center & I was terrified. When I made calls to get in somewhere, the person who answered was more concerned with my well-being than my wallet. My first day there, I was crying & I remember sitting with a counselor, Kristin, who I asked if everyone who worked there really cared & she along with every single staff member there proved just how much they cared. In fact, they really all went above and beyond to help every individuals needs in recovery. When I was near the end of my stay I was certain I was going back home right away. They helped me feel safe to try out sober living and it completely changed my life. Remember, employees are replaceable, if you’re worried about “needing to get back to work,” things will work itself out, trust the process & the staff. They have the purest hearts. I’m forever grateful for every single one of them.

I’ve have referred many people to Enlight for detox and residential as well as for mental health treatment, and let me tell you, lives are being changed lives are being saved. I’ve been working as a recovery coach for almost 15 years, worked with many different treatment centers, none of them are like Enlight. I’ve had client sent to Enlight from all walks of life; rich poor employed unemployed, people who worked to unions and blue collar men to lawyers and nurses… this is the only place I trust to be able to take care of my folks in addiction. I trust them for many reasons but mainly because they have 3 doctors on site who will see you in person as opposed to other centers who have one doctor who will see you on zoom (if ever). The team at Enlight is as experienced as it gets, most of the staff themselves have been through addiction and really treat this job as a passion. I have sent over 100 people to Enlight for detox from alcohol, Xanax, ketamine, Cocaine, Fentanyl, Heroin, Marijuana, Whippets, Adderall, Methamphetamine… you name it. Many of these people were dual diagnosis, meaning they had both mental health issues and addiction. Most of my clients that I’ve sent to Enlight are sober now! Enlight really knows how to Safely medically, detox, and set up the foundation for future success in sobriety. Love you guys. Shout out to Chef Carlo, homie is a wizard when it comes to making food. If you’re looking to get help for mental health or Addiction Don’t waste time calling other places who only want you there for the paycheck, Call enlight Because they really care

Sadly, Windmill now is allowing previous employees to post reviews. This troubles me. My initial review was heartfelt and honest. It upsets me that Windmill is doing this. Windmill used to be better than this. Perhaps it has to do with the new ownership.

I had the most amazing experience of my life! WWR saved my life in many ways. I tackled multiple addictions and took advantage of every service they offer (which there are many!). The counselors and recovery advocates are incredible. While I now have the tools to go back to the real world, I will miss this place in my soul. I would recommend WWR to anyone needing to face addiction or any other mental challenge.

Windmill is set amongst a beautiful scenery of trees and deers, that enables peace of mind and a healing quietness for the spirit. This serene atmosphere grows and shines in the people living there and the ones there providing us support through their smiles and patient caring for each other. I was able to learn again what it felt like to be human, sane, and a part of something. Fellowship being the heart of the strength built, I walked away with a community that stands as an army ready to fight together. You will be empowered. It works if you work it. As the windmill keeps turning, so shall we!

This place saved my life. I’m a vet who was experiencing life in the dark with non stop negative thoughts all day! After months of drinking daily to get some type of relief it only got worse. No one understood what I was feeling and I thought it was just me. On a drunken binge something in my heart spoke to me, so I googled impatient VA care and came across The Haven! Best decision Ive ever made! 30 days in a feel better than every! Next stop is PHP to continue my journey of recovery. Thanks Haven! 🐜 ANT

I was so scared asking for help and didn’t know where to go, but this place came highly recommended. The only bad thing is that the fact that I had to leave anybody looking to get help there is not a better place to go in here. the staff is absolutely incredible. I cried more just seeing how well I was treated here than even dealing with my issues. I cannot recommend this place enough if you want help come here.

They were attentive, compassionate, helpful, professional, but most of all... they were kind to me when I was in a very dark place and a world of hurt. I did not ask for this to happen, but I am eternally grateful for the safety net Gallus provided me. I am 30 days sober because of you. And me. And the universe. Please keep saving souls, one person at a time. We need all the help we can get. Never, lose sight of why you signed up for this job! You all can mark one more life saved today. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Optum Health Cover Addiction Treatment?
Optum Health partners with various insurance plans to provide behavioral health services and addiction treatment for members and employees. They facilitate substance use disorder solutions to help individuals achieve stabilization and long term sustainable recovery.
These solutions include applying analytics to data that identify appropriate and effective early interventions. Optum Health helps connect members to evidence based care in their local area including treatment centers that offer inpatient and outpatient options. After your customized treatment program Optum will continue to promote your recovery offering ongoing support and guidance.
Not every insurance company or employer that uses Optum Health services will have the same benefits and levels of coverage. Before committing to a treatment program discuss your insurance details with your provider. This helps prevent unexpected bills from appearing after treatment.
What Kinds of Insurance Plans Does Optum Health Partner With?
Optum Health does not offer plans but instead, they partner with insurance companies to provide benefits for individual and family plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace and employer plans along with Medicare Advantage plans and some state Medicaid plans.
Depending on your state, Optum Health may partner with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and other health insurance providers. The insurance provider is responsible for defining the healthcare professionals and facilities that are in and out of the network.
Insurance plans have a variety of different formats. A health maintenance organization (HMO) plan requires you to use a network of designated providers. You can choose a primary care physician and get referrals from them for specialist care. An HMO gives you lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs but also limits your choices of providers.
A preferred provider organization (PPO) is a health plan that has the most flexibility in choosing healthcare providers. You can see any doctor or specialist without a referral and these professionals can be in network and out of network. A PPO generally has a higher premium and higher out of pocket costs but has fewer restrictions on care.
A point of service (POS) plan is a hybrid option that combines the features of HMOs and PPOs. You select your primary care doctor and need to get a referral to see a specialist. However under a POS plan you can see out of network providers at a higher cost. This offers you some flexibility.
An exclusive provider organization (EPO) combines some aspects of an HMO and PPO. It offers coverage only for services that are provided by in network providers except in an emergency. EPOs typically do not require a referral to see a specialist but do not cover out of network care. They often have lower premiums and moderate out of pocket costs.
Where Does Optum Operate?
Optum partners with insurance companies across the U.S. In each state, Optum partners with different medical providers and may offer different services to insurance plan clients.
For example in Connecticut Optum connects insurance plans with a medical network that includes primary and specialty care along with urgent and virtual care. They also have provider networks for Medicare Advantage plans in Connecticut and have developed effective and cost effective care for complex or serious medical problems.
Within Minnesota Optum has partnered with MedExpress to provide insurance plans with urgent care clinics both in person and virtually to treat various conditions.
In Ohio Optum partners with Unity Health Network and American Health Network so insurance plan members can choose from over 70 medical offices and 200 primary care physicians. Their partnership with American Health Network provides insurance plans with network options for video visits and primary care along with health management programs.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Optum Health Provide?
Optum works with partnered insurance companies to provide medically necessary inpatient addiction treatment. Several steps can support your need for care. The first is to work with your doctor to develop a treatment plan. This helps provide documentation of medical necessity to the insurance company.
The next is the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) assessment. This comprehensive tool evaluates several criteria and guides healthcare providers in determining the most appropriate level of care. They use a multi dimensional approach that includes the level of intoxication or withdrawal symptoms along with physical conditions and emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions. It also considers your readiness to change and the risk of relapse along with your current living situation.
When necessary medical detoxification is the first step in addiction treatment. Inpatient medical detox provides 24/7 support and medical management. You can be prescribed FDA cleared prescriptions that help reduce the withdrawal symptoms and reduce the risk of life threatening conditions that may happen during detoxification from certain drugs.
Once the addictive drugs are out of your system you typically transition into an evidence based treatment program that addresses your addiction triggers and helps you develop healthier coping strategies. If necessary this can be an inpatient or residential treatment program which uses this combination of treatments to promote long term sobriety and sustainable recovery while providing you with 24 hour supportive care.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Optum Health Provide?
Outpatient care provides unique benefits and many insurance plans that Optum supports help cover outpatient treatment. However your outpatient treatment must be medically necessary and most must be prior authorized before treatment can begin. You’ll want to work with your insurance provider before the program starts so you are not surprised by bills during treatment.
There are several levels of outpatient treatment and not all treatment centers provide all levels. A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides the most intensive level of outpatient care. Most people receive the same level of care they would as an inpatient but they’re able to go home each evening.
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides a few hours of therapy each day for several days each week. The intensity of your program is based on a comprehensive evaluation of your substance use disorder and any co occurring mental health conditions.
A general outpatient treatment program typically offers therapy once a week and sometimes twice per week. IOPs and general outpatient treatment are typically more flexible and allow you to meet your work and school obligations.
After completing an outpatient program you may transition into aftercare. The intensity of your aftercare depends on your customized program and what the treatment center and community offer. It may include weekly or biweekly therapy and community support groups along with vocational support and community resources.
Does Optum Health Provide Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) can be used during medical detoxification and for ongoing treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders. During medical detoxification medications are prescribed to help reduce the symptoms of withdrawal and the potentially life threatening side effects of withdrawing from some medications.
In ongoing treatment medication assisted treatment can help reduce cravings and the risk of relapse. It is typically included in a medication management program that evaluates the prescribed medications and their expected effects along with side effects to help support your recovery journey.
Typical medications include methadone and buprenorphine as well as naltrexone and Suboxone. Methadone and buprenorphine are opioid agonists and used strictly in opioid use disorders. Naltrexone is used in opioid use and alcohol use disorders. Suboxone is a combination medication of buprenorphine and naltrexone.
Does Optum Health Provide Other Mental Healthcare?
It is not uncommon to have a co occurring mental health condition with a substance use disorder. Insurance companies that partner with Optum Health often provide care for mental health conditions whether those are independent or co occurring mental health conditions.
If you have a co occurring mental health condition with a substance use disorder, it’s called dual diagnosis. Treatment for dual diagnosis requires integrated care delivered to address both conditions at the same time. This helps improve the rate of success to reach sobriety and maintain long term recovery.
Mental health conditions require evidence based treatments and also respond well to holistic approaches such as exercise, good nutrition, and being outdoors. Most plans cover mental health treatment — including dual diagnosis — because of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. However there are exceptions to this rule. It’s essential to check with your insurance provider about coverage benefits and limitations. This helps prevent unexpected bills.
Can I Travel Out of State For Treatment With Optum?
Some insurance policies allow you to travel out of state for treatment. However most plans require you to work with a provider and facility that are in network unless you need emergency help. You can maximize your insurance coverage for treatment when you work with in network providers. You’ll also typically pay far less in deductibles and copayments.
Some treatment centers will help you verify your insurance details before committing to a program. Treatment centers will generally know if they are in network with your insurance plan.
How to Verify Coverage With Optum
There are several ways to verify your insurance coverage. When you enrolled, you were likely told whether to contact the insurance company directly or verify your benefits through Optum. If you don’t have that information most insurance companies and Optum have customer service numbers you can call to verify your benefits.
You also have access to an online account through Optum by going to the Optum state page. Finally you can work with the treatment center you’re interested in. They can let you know if they accept your specific insurance plan and Optum. They can also help you verify your benefits with your insurance company.
It’s important to give them the exact plan name and any significant numbers and not just the name of the insurance company. There are a wide variety of plans and treatment centers do not always accept all plans from an insurance company.
Calls to any general helpline will be answered or returned by a paid advertiser.
By calling the helpline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses. There is no obligation to enter treatment.
