    The facility was clean, the staff is helpful and friendly. The facility offers groups all day where they have activities and open discussions. They have a real life chef during the week and take out on the weekends. The facility also has snacks, ice cream, multiple breakfast foods, and more. A therapist is appointed to assist that clients see at least once a week. This was my first time in treatment, but several other clients told me that this was one of the best treatment centers they had been too. I highly recommend.

    I am truly going to miss my life and my experience here. I had the best councilor, Mrs Hepzi, just her presence alone will make your day.

    All in Solutions has shown up for me as a Client on a level I have never in my life experienced. I have been to many facilities in search of healing from a 30 year drug, alcohol and toxic life style.. I am almost 43 years old. I am a strong willed human being and I had quit quitting because evidence in my life proved that I would never be able to break free from addiction. While in the care of All In Solutions, staff demonstrated to me love, boundaries and interest in my well being. I have been a hand full with very challenging emotional brokenness and it has been very difficult to walk thru the healing process.. never once did staff treat me as if I was a burden or beyond help. They had patience and experience and love and over and over and over repeatedly demonstrated dedication to my recovery every step of the way. My counselor was Jason. I literally thank God that I came to All in solutions. Jason is a one of a kind, emotionally, spiritually wise minded, dedicated human being / he is professional and dedicated to his clients.. for reals - he spoke truth to me and handled all my details with concern and care and met me where I was at and patiently worked thru my process with me.. Debbie, the director helped me thru many emotional struggles, Tony, admissions - absolutely amazing human being.. zero, alumni - wonderful human being filled with love and dedication.. these people are like warriors and they care about every soul that comes thru the doors. Every single staff member spent time with me to understand my intricate brokenness and played a giant role in the healing I have experienced thus far. I still have a long road of recovery ahead of me.. I now believe that recovery is possible. I know can visualize my best self living a happy joyous and free life with a support system.. honestly - words can not express the gratitude I have for each staff member.. so many of them.. the house moms at the women’s house.. I am like crying as I prepare to depart because these people became my family and that is how this rehabilitation service is.. if you or a loved one is beyond hope and beyond help - All in Solutions - I endorse them with my entire being and will forever thank them for all they did for me.

    I stumbled (literally) into BOCA Recovery center on February 5th with little hope. I was set to spend 21 days away from all the comforts of Home My family and dog. My first week of detox was more comfortable than I expected. Assisted with medications that helped me through The Tough days ahead. After I came out of the fog I dove head first into my recovery. I went to every group meeting. I went to every AA meeting available I participated 100% And was determined to take advantage of every tool I would need to be successful. I learned Skills from so many People that have been there done that And could relate to what I was feeling honestly feeling. I didn’t realize I had so many traumas until we started talking about it. I have an addictive personality And the roots run deep through my family tree. With all the professional help I was able to navigate through those tough Traumas. I realized I was drinking to bury those feelings and forget. They run a tight Shift With an Excellent routine. They fed us very well. They really focused on mind-body and soul. I will be forever grateful for the help That I receive the true caring I received. The understanding I received. And just knowing I was not alone. I met some very cool people who were in the same boat as I Just rowing with different paddles. I surrounded myself with positive people who were serious about their rehabilitation. Today I am 26 days sober. I have never felt better mentally physically and spiritually. There is no better high from a drink or a drug that I’m experiencing on a sober life. For the first time in four years, I am present And excited for the future. Thank you to everyone at Boca recovery you guys are amazing people I would recommend BOCA TO ANYONE WHO IS STRUGGLING!! Thank you for giving me a second chance at life! And I wanna thank me for taking that first step and making that phone call! Peace and Love, Barbara

    St. Joes is an absolute paradise! Such a beautiful place to go and work on yourself. The staff are amazing and the treatment is so productive. They're pulling strings you may not realize to help you!! Thanks to St. Joes I've found me again. He was lost for a long time in the fog of a deep depression, masking that with substance use, I thought he was gone forever. Thank you guys so much for an opportunity to live again, not just exist. If you are struggling and need help, give them a call. They will pick you up and mark will call you everyday until they do to ask how you are doing! I've never been to a more beautiful place that helps you as a whole being, mind, body, and soul! Chuck Rose

    These are great folks here. A close friend of our family (Single Mother) approached me about her Son. He was in bad shape with drugs and had been on the Street for 24 months. It was life or death. I was totally helpless until I got the # for Never Alone. We were able to get James (Her Son) in treatment almost immediately, followed by after care programs. James is now clean and sober and counseling other youths struggling with drugs. They saved his Life!!

    As a parent, choosing treatment for your child is incredibly difficult, but sending them to Never Alone was the best decision we could have made. The staff showed genuine compassion and truly cared about my child’s well-being, not just their recovery but their emotional growth too. We saw positive changes that gave our family hope again. Communication with parents was great, and my child felt safe and supported the entire time. I’m so grateful for everything they did for our family.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does UPMC Health Plan Cover Addiction Treatment?

    As required by the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) most UPMC Health Plan insurance plans offer mental health and substance abuse treatment along with other medical care. However there are exceptions to the law and every insurance plan is different, so be sure to check with your insurance provider to find out which addiction treatments are covered by your specific plan.

    Most UPMC in network substance abuse rehabs are in Pittsburgh, but there are some UPMC covered rehabs in Maryland and New York.

    If you have a Cigna PPO plan or other out of network plan that has a partnership with UPMC Health Plan, you may have other rehabs available to you as well. Check with your insurance provider to find out which addiction treatments are covered by your specific plan.

    What UPMC Health Plans Are Available?

    UPMC offers individual and family plans through the state Insurance Marketplace and through employers. If you qualify you can also get Medicare or Medicaid plans through UMPC.

    The individual and family plans have several different options. They have Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plans, which require you to get care in the provider network but you don’t need a referral to see a specialist such as an addiction counselor.

    They also have Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plans, which require you to stay in network and to get a referral for specialist care. However, HMOs are often the least expensive on a monthly basis. Finally, a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) gives you the most flexibility with some out of network coverage and no referrals required. However these plans tend to cost the most each month.

    UPMC Health Plan offers Medicare Advantage (“Medicare part C”) HMO and PPO plans. Medicare plans by UPMC healthcare are called UPMC for Life. These plans provide the same services as regular Medicare, including coverage for addiction care, but they generally offer extra benefits like prescription coverage and vision and dental care.

    Your Medicare Advantage plan will have its own coverage limits and requirements to get addiction treatment, so be sure to work with your doctor and get the referrals and preauthorization you need before you commit to treatment.

    Medicaid plans by UPMC healthcare are called UPMC for You. Like regular Medicaid, these plans cover medical treatment and substance abuse treatment. However, they also cover prescriptions and dental and vision care.

    If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, UPMC for Life Complete Care offers $0 premium fees and $0 copays on medical care and $0 copays for prescriptions. It also offers dental and vision and hearing benefits. Members can get free transportation to healthcare providers and grocery stores along with fitness centers and adult day care centers. There’s also an allowance you can use to buy over the counter products.

    What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does UPMC Health Cover?

    All insurance plans will focus on covering medically necessary care which is often defined by the treatment plan your doctor creates. It’s also important to verify your insurance and make sure you get a referral or preauthorization if necessary.

    Some of the inpatient drug rehab treatment options that may be included in UPMC Health Plan’s behavioral health insurance policies are medical detox and residential treatment.

    Detoxification is the process of letting substances leave your body. Many times you’ll get medical support to help you move through withdrawal symptoms. This may include medication assisted treatment (MAT). Commonly used MAT medications for treating alcohol or opioid addiction are methadone and buprenorphine along with naltrexone.

    Inpatient treatment takes place in a clinic or hospital and residential care takes place in a non hospital facility and offers a more home like setting. Both options provide around the clock support and care.

    Residential treatment often lasts 28 to 30 days or more. You’ll get a variety of therapy options which often includes holistic approaches like art or music therapy. Inpatient or residential treatment allows you to fully focus on your recovery without any distractions.

    What Outpatient Rehab Does UMPC Health Plan Cover?

    Outpatient programs, including intensive outpatient programs and regular outpatient programs, are available through UPMC Health Plan’s mental health benefits. Intensive outpatient programs typically involve up to nine hours of treatment each week, for between three to six weeks. 

    In a general outpatient program, counseling and education sessions may take place at a clinic or rehab facility. Addiction and relapse prevention education are provided, with individual sessions offered as needed.

    There are multiple types of outpatient care. The most intensive outpatient treatment is a partial hospitalization program (PHP). This is a full day program that offers more than 20 hours of treatment per week. The treatment options are similar to inpatient or residential care.

    At the next level are intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) which typically involve nine to 20 hours of treatment each week, with the hours spread over three to five days. Often 90 days of IOP treatment are recommended. The lowest intensity is general outpatient treatment, where counseling and education sessions may take place at a clinic or rehab facility once or twice a week. Addiction and relapse prevention education are provided, with individual sessions offered as needed.

    Do UPMC Health Plans Have Additional Benefits?

    Part of what makes UPMC Health stand out is the extra benefits members receive. For example preventive services may be free of charge and members can access virtual (telehealth or video) urgent care services to diagnose illness or prescribe medication.

    They also have the MyHealth program that provides free health coaching for weight loss and smoking cessation along with tips on stress management and more. Finally, members can get six sessions of free counseling with a trained counselor through the Life Solutions program.

    Does UMPC Health Plan Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?

    MAT is covered by most UMPC plans. This treatment uses FDA approved medications to help those with alcohol and substance use disorder during the early recovery period. These medications such as naltrexone and buprenorphine along with methadone and acamprosate ease withdrawal symptoms and help to normalize brain chemistry. This is especially important during medical detox.

    Some individuals only need MAT during the detox process while others need it throughout treatment to help manage cravings to reduce the risk of relapse and decrease the risk of overdose. Longer term MAT is combined with inpatient or outpatient treatment to help you establish long term recovery. Once treatment ends you can taper off the medication support and live a fully substance free life.

    Does UMPC Cover Other Mental Healthcare?

    In 2010 the Affordable Care Act was enacted into law. The ACA requires insurance plans to cover 10 essential health benefits which include mental health and substance use care. As a result most UMPC plans cover mental healthcare such as counseling and crisis intervention. You may get individual or group counseling along with mental health medication.

    The extent of coverage differs from plan to plan. It is important to understand the details of your specific plan before starting treatment so you know whether you need a referral or preauthorization. You’ll also learn what out of pocket costs to expect.

    Individuals with alcohol and substance use disorder often have co occurring mental health conditions. What’s most important in these cases is that you get treatment that addresses both mental health and addiction. That’s the only way to ensure you get the help you need to reach long term recovery.

    Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be In Network?

    Many UMPC plans require you to use an in network provider to get coverage. However some allow you to use an out of network provider although you’ll pay a lot more in out of pocket costs. For example your copayment and deductible may both be higher. Or you might have to pay a percentage of the cost instead of a flat copayment.

    To maximize your insurance coverage it’s best to use high quality in network providers or facilities. To find out whether your plan allows non network care contact UMPC directly. This can be done by calling the phone number on the back of your ID card or by going online to their webpage at UPMC.com
