I had an out patient procedure done and everyone was wonderful! Even my anesthesiologist was great! He talked to me prior to my procedure to go over what he was going to use and what he might need to do if necessary. I was treated well & was kept long enough after my procedure to be fully out of the anesthesia.

10/10 across the board. Everyone here is fully committed to helping guys get and stay sober and can speak from personal experience.
The staff, program, and experience is beyond anything I could have hoped for. I would recommend to anyone struggling with addiction with 0 reservations.
I am happy to have been given the tools needed for long term sobriety, but finding happiness, peace, and connection I’ve never had before is one of the most amazing and important experiences I’ve ever had.

Eagle Creek has been the absolute best opportunity of my life! It's been an amazing learning and rebuilding experience. They prepare you for the struggles of addiction and life, coping mechanisms, stress management, behavior therapy and so much more! All staff are helpful, engaging and understanding. It also helps as most of them have gone thru the program as well! Not to mention the food is better than most 5 star restaurants!!! I did 60 days but think 45 is the sweet spot for anyone struggling thru addiction and looking for a life changing experience and healthy environment! God Bless Eagle Creek!!!

Best treatment facility in Lincoln, I've been there 2x and I have very close friends & family that have been in recovery since they completed treatment there. I wish they took medicare or medicaid though...

My husband went through the independence center over 30 years ago. He did relapse after the first 3 months but he did not attend any aftercare or AA. Within a year he started going to AA and has been sober for almost 35 years. My son has also been through the independence center twice with varied success. He has had relapses but maintained sobriety for the majority of the time. He has used the tools he learned there to get sober again after relapsing without having to reenter treatment. The program will work for you if your honest with yourself and do the work. Good luck and god bless!

When you are ready, you are ready. I did three rehabs in the span of three summers and I’ve been sober a year and a half since going to the Independence Center.
The ENTIRE staff wass genuinely interested in my recovery. Of course it’s up to me how honest I want to be with my counselor, Chaplin and myself (and God), but their unwavering encouragement doesn’t hurt and it didn’t. The facility is much better than others I’ve been to in Nebraska and they keep the distracting extracurricular horseplay to minimum. They have a great culture and alumni in the A.A. and Lincoln communities.

The only complaint I had was that when my clothes were washed, some items were bleached and turned pink. Other than that, I had a very positive experience.
The staff were kind, accommodating, and made the detox process as comfortable as possible. They offered snacks throughout the day, chef-prepared meals, and even had a food truck available. Smoking and vaping were permitted, and the rooms and beds were clean and comfortable.
Overall, I would recommend this facility to anyone seeking treatment. I would return if I ever needed to, although I’m grateful to have two years clean. I did have to return to treatment once due to insurance coverage and was transferred to Banyan.

Phenomenal place! All of the staff are very helpful and friendly. Anthony, client care coordinator is always checking in to make sure you are ok and if anything is needed, helps with a smile! Jason(therapist) is great, more in tuned than most I have seen. . Karen (EMDR) is gifted and am privileged to have been able to work with her. Magic Mike will blow your mind with his knowledge and things he can do. Food is good. Facility is clean. Beds on residential side are comfy.bon detox they are average. Such an amazing group! The only reason I gave 4 stars is this is not the place for residential treatment ....groups are aa ..lecture type no real interaction

Brittnay from Provive Wellness went over and beyond when I was desperate to find a help center for my son. She walked me through the entire intake process step by step. She made me feel comfortable and hopeful that my son would get the help and support that he needed. I had a lot of questions and concerns and she did all the leg work to help me through this situation. Brittnay is truly an amazing employee and a huge asset. She continues to reach out to me and my son along his journey making this difficult situation a lot easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Oscar Insurance Cover Addiction Treatment?
Oscar plans do offer some coverage for mental health treatment and substance use because they are sold on states’ Insurance Marketplaces. However the company focuses on virtual care, and the in person provider network is quite small.
Even though Oscar works with Optum to provide mental and behavioral health care, it can be challenging to find an addiction treatment provider that takes Oscar in many areas.
Mental healthcare is more likely to have available in person providers than substance use treatment. However, this varies dramatically depending on where you live. You can check the available providers in your area without signing up, which is helpful if you’re considering an Oscar Plan.
Coverage for treatment is usually based on your doctor’s recommendations. If you have Oscar coverage, work with your primary doctor to determine an appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
What Are Oscar Insurance Plans?
Oscar offers insurance plans on the state Insurance Marketplace in 18 states. These plans have metal tiers that help you understand what percentage of your care they will generally cover.
For example, a Bronze plan covers only about 60% of the cost of care, but you pay a much lower premium. A Gold plan covers 80% of the cost of care but has a higher monthly premium. A Silver plan balances the two by covering about 70% of your medical costs with a monthly premium in between Bronze and Gold.
There are also different types of plans available from Oscar, depending on the state you live in. There are Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), Exclusive Provider Organizations (EPOs), and Point of Sale plans (POS).
The differences between these plans are focused on two areas: Can you get care outside the network and do you need a referral to see a specialist (such as an addiction counselor)?
An HMO and EPO require you to stay within the plan’s provider network. A PPO or POS allows you to get coverage out of network, but your deductibles and copayments will be much higher because the plan covers much less of the cost of care.
An HMO and a POS plan both require you to have referrals to specialist care, even if the specialists are in network. A PPO and EPO give you the freedom to go to any specialist in the provider network without a referral.
Because an HMO has the most restrictions, it tends to have the lowest monthly premium. A PPO has the fewest restrictions, so they tend to be more expensive each month.
Does Oscar Cover Mental Healthcare?
Oscar offers a variety of mental healthcare options. They have in person mental healthcare in their network in many areas. If that’s not available or you prefer virtual care, you can access Doctor on Demandand use your Oscar ID to sign up for an account.
You can also search for a mental or behavioral health provider on Optum’s website using the code OHP or by calling Optum at (877)-855-1317.
Optum also offers an emotional support hotline that’s free of charge and available 24/7. Anyone can use it, whether or not they have coverage through Optum. The number is (866) 342-6892.
Finally, the Perks area of your member account on Oscar’s website gives you access to the Calm app for 40% off the normal annual subscription.
What Special Benefits Are Available From Oscar Insurance?
Because Oscar focuses on offering virtual medical care and support, they have a variety of unique benefits.
For example, Oscar’s plans include Oscar Care. This program allows almost all members to get free virtual urgent care visits. Some Oscar members will also have access to free virtual primary care visits for those 18 and older as well.
Oscar allows members to order prescription refills virtually and have them delivered by mail. Many common medications cost only $3 per refill.
The company also refers people to visit WeConnect’s free Online Support Meetings. These meetings allow you to talk about grief, mental health, substance use, and more. There are general meetings and specialty meetings with a specific focus.
If you have a Diabetes Care Plan with Oscar, you can enroll for free in Livongo, which provides resources for those living with Diabetes.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Oscar Cover?
Most of Oscar’s resources are focused on mental healthcare. However, in some areas they also have in network providers that offer outpatient addiction treatment.
Outpatient programs allow you to live at home or in a sober living environment while you attend treatment during the day. Options include partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and regular outpatient (OP) programs.
Partial hospitalization programs allow you to attend treatment during the day and return home at night. They typically run 4 to 8 hours a day, three to four days a week, and last between 30 and 90 days.
Intensive outpatient programs often offer 9 to 20 hours of treatment per week, spread over 3 to 5 days, with a total of 90 days of treatment recommended.
In general outpatient programs, you may be seen at a clinic or rehab facility one or more times a week. Group counseling and education on addiction and relapse prevention are typically provided, and when needed, individual sessions may be offered.
Once you finish treatment, you may have access to aftercare resources such as peer support and social services.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Oscar Cover?
Inpatient addiction treatment is very intensive. You may have to spend several weeks at a facility. For these reasons, it’s important to make sure that it’s the right treatment for you. Typically, your doctor will use an American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) assessment to determine whether you need residential care or can start with an outpatient program. Then they will call Oscar to get their prior approval for coverage.
If you find yourself in residential rehab expect to be in scheduled programming for the duration of each day you spend there. You may get a little free time to attend to self care and chores. The rules and the structure are as much a part of treatment as the programming itself. The programming focuses on building skills to help you avoid relapse.
You may have to go through medical detox before you can participate in residential rehab. In residential detox, trained medical professionals supervise your withdrawal from substances like alcohol and benzodiazepines and opioids. Their goal is to prevent the harm that withdrawing from these substances can cause to your health.
Does Oscar Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
MAT stands for medication assisted treatment. If it’s right for you, Oscar may be able to cover it. With MAT, medical professionals use FDA approved drugs to treat you for alcohol or opioid dependence. Medications can be used to get you through withdrawal and then help you stay in recovery. In the case of opioid use disorder they can also be used as maintenance treatment.
What to Do if Oscar Won’t Cover the Cost of Rehab
If you can’t find a drug rehab that’s in network through Oscar start by calling Optum. Since Optum is the company that manages behavioral health benefits for Oscar they may be able to find a provider or make an exception for you.
If you can’t get an exception you have a few options. You might consider traveling the distance to a facility they do cover. If you decide to do this you’ll want to make sure the facility will take you. You should also get prior approval from Oscar.
Next consider ways to cover treatment yourself. Many non profit rehabs have income based sliding scales. Some will take you without regard for your ability to pay. Some faith based organizations offer residential rehab for free. There may also be state and county level resources that will work with you.
You may also be able to get referrals to alternatives that are cheaper. If your counselor is the one referring you to treatment they can assess if a more affordable alternative is appropriate. People with opioid use disorder can sometimes avoid residential rehab if they get on MAT. Others may be able to manage with a partial hospitalization program while living in a sober house.
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.
Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider.
If you wish to connect with non-sponsor centers, you can browse top-rated listings, visit our homepage and browse by state, or visit SAMHSA.
