Does UnitedHealthcare Cover Detox at The Recovery Village Columbus?
In most cases, yes. UnitedHealthcare’s mental health and substance use benefits are managed by Optum Behavioral Health (formerly United Behavioral Health, or UBH), and The Recovery Village Columbus is in network with UBH/Optum. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most plans must cover substance use treatment, including medically necessary detox, on terms similar to medical and surgical care.
Being in network usually means lower out-of-pocket costs than an out-of-network facility. Your exact coverage depends on your plan.
What Medical Detox Involves
Medical detox at our Groveport campus provides 24/7 medically supervised withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines and other drugs. Our team assesses your health when you arrive, manages withdrawal symptoms with medication when appropriate, and plans your next level of care from the first day. Detox usually lasts about seven to ten days. Learn more about our medical detox program.
