In-Network Optum Rehab Center in Massachusetts

The cost of treatment should never be the reason someone delays getting help for a substance use disorder. If you or a loved one is covered by Optum—whether through an employer-sponsored commercial plan or a state Medicaid plan administered through Optum Behavioral Health—you may already have meaningful coverage for addiction care.

Finding rehabs that take Optum can feel overwhelming, but East Coast Recovery makes it simple. We’re proud to be an in-network provider with Optum commercial and Optum Medicaid, which means lower out-of-pocket costs, less paperwork, and a faster path to the personalized outpatient care you deserve. Our Cohasset, Massachusetts campus offers Day Treatment (PHP), Partial Day Treatment (Partial Day Treatment Program), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and aftercare planning—all designed to meet you wherever you are in your recovery journey.

How Optum Insurance Can Support Your Recovery

Understanding how your insurance works is one of the most important steps in choosing the right level of care. Substance use disorders are recognized medical conditions, and under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, Optum plans are required to cover addiction treatment at parity with other medical conditions. Using your Optum benefits to pay for rehab comes with real advantages:

More treatment options. In-network coverage opens the door to higher-quality, specialized programs that might otherwise be out of reach if you were paying out-of-pocket.
Better continuity of care. Recovery isn’t a fixed timeline. Insurance coverage helps ensure you can stay in treatment as long as clinically necessary—not just as long as your savings hold out.
Less financial stress. Addiction already creates enough strain. Letting Optum cover a significant portion of treatment frees you to focus on what actually matters: healing.
Coordinated behavioral health support. Because Optum specializes in mental health and substance use, claims, prior authorizations, and care coordination tend to move more efficiently than under general medical coverage.

What’s Included in Optum Addiction Treatment Coverage?

Coverage details vary based on your specific plan, group number, and state, but most Optum policies—commercial and Medicaid alike—cover a meaningful portion of evidence-based outpatient addiction treatment. Services that are commonly covered through Optum addiction treatment coverage include:

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) / Day Treatment
Intensive Outpatient Programs (Partial Day Treatment Program) / Partial Day Treatment
Standard outpatient counseling
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including Suboxone, Vivitrol, and naltrexone
Individual, group, and family therapy
Telehealth and virtual counseling
Dual-diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions
Aftercare planning, alumni programs, and relapse prevention
Detox referrals to trusted partner facilities

How to Check Your Optum Benefits

There are a few simple ways to confirm what your Optum policy covers:

Call the Member Services number on the back of your Optum or UnitedHealthcare ID card and ask specifically about behavioral health and substance use disorder benefits.
Log in to liveandworkwell.com (for commercial and EAP members) or your state Medicaid portal to review your behavioral health benefits.
Let East Coast Recovery do the legwork for you. Our admissions team will verify your insurance for free and walk you through exactly what’s covered, what your estimated out-of-pocket costs may be, and what steps come next.

There’s no obligation, no pressure, and no cost to verify.
