    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care, Life-Changing Experience at Asana Recovery My journey with Asana Recovery has been nothing short of transformational. Walking through their doors, I wasn’t just another patient entering a treatment center—I was a person in need of compassion, structure, and genuine guidance. From the very beginning, the team at Asana made me feel seen, heard, and supported in a way that very few treatment centers truly deliver. After just two months in recovery, I was given the incredible opportunity to become a house manager, which was a breathtaking experience. Not only did it deepen my recovery, but it allowed me to support others walking the same path. That chance to step into responsibility and service was life-changing, and it’s something I will always carry with me. What sets Asana apart is the people. Jonathan and Linda, in particular, are shining examples of what makes this place extraordinary. Jonathan’s ability to connect with individuals on a deeply human level created a sense of trust that allowed me to open up and truly engage in the process. His wisdom, steadiness, and encouragement gave me tools that I will carry for the rest of my life. Linda’s presence is like a beacon—warm, nurturing, and absolutely unshakable. Her kindness and dedication went far beyond a “job”; it was clear she cares about every single person who comes through Asana’s program as if they were family. And it isn’t just them—the entire Asana team embodies that same commitment. Whether it was the counselors guiding me through difficult conversations, the medical staff ensuring I was safe and cared for, or the support staff who brought positivity into every interaction, each person played an important role in making recovery feel possible. They created an environment that blended professionalism with heart, where structure and accountability were balanced with compassion and encouragement. I’ve been to other facilities and spoken with countless people who have gone through recovery in different settings, and I can say without hesitation that Asana stands in a class of its own. Their approach is holistic, their community is genuine, and their impact is lasting. To anyone considering Asana Recovery—whether for yourself or a loved one—know this: you will not just find treatment here; you will find hope, healing, and a family that will walk alongside you every step of the way. I am deeply grateful to Jonathan, Linda, and the entire Asana Recovery team for helping me reclaim my life.

    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.

    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!

    All In Solutions (AIS) in Cherry Hill, NJ is an exceptional facility, and we give complete credit for our son’s sobriety and vastly improved mental and physical health to the excellent staff and therapists at AIS. They were truly the best! All in Solutions provided our son with the best support and right tools he needed to guide him in the right direction in his recovery. The care provided by the staff is exceptional, they are kind, knowledgeable, authentic, and can relate to their patients’ addictions and recovery process. Every staff member that we dealt with was professional, compassionate, and genuine. Services and support provided by AIS were numerous and very effective. We so appreciated the weekly calls from his therapist on his progress, being able to always reach someone at the AIS facility where he was located, and the weekly zoom family support sessions. The support groups, AA meetings and his AA sponsor has all been invaluable to our son then and now as he is transitioning back into life outside of AIS. We are forever grateful for the support our son received at All In Solutions and we highly recommend All In Solutions in Cherry Hill, NJ to anyone with drug and alcohol addiction.

    The Windmill Wellness Ranch is an inpatient rehab and recovery center located close to San Antonio in Canyon Lake, Texas. Here, they treat adults with substance use and co-occurring (dual diagnosis) disorders. If you’re a veteran then it’s good to know that the center is in-network with TRICARE insurance. They also accept most major insurance.
    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!

    When I think of California Prime it instantly fills me with so much peace! I came into the program a couple years ago I was a lost, scared, insecure broken woman with addiction issues that were ruining my life. . Through out my stay I learned so many skills to change my life. The facilitators and staff are genuine, caring, compassionate, and informative. Today I have my life back! I'm a mother involved in my kids life, I manage a hair salon, I have a strong relationship with God, and thanks to Cali Prime i have coping skills to work through life's hard times that I will use the rest of my life. I'll forever be grateful for this program and everything they did for me💗 If you or someone you love needs help reach out you won't regret it. Life is so good today!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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.
