UnitedHealthcare rehab coverage in Houston

How UnitedHealthcare covers treatment at Altura Recovery

Altura Recovery is contracted in-network with UnitedHealthcare, including UHC Choice Plus PPO, Navigate, Charter, Compass, and most UMR-administered plans. Behavioral health is managed through Optum, and we are credentialed with Optum directly.

What your plan typically covers

• Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) — 30 hours per week, in-network
• Intensive Outpatient (IOP) — 9 hours per week, flexible tracks
• Structured Outpatient (SOP) — weekly step-down covered after IOP
• Individual and group therapy with licensed clinicians
• MAT coordination for opioid use disorder (Suboxone, Vivitrol)
• Co-occurring mental health treatment (depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar)

Out-of-pocket cost

Most UHC PPO and Choice Plus members pay only their copay or coinsurance after deductible — often $0 for in-network outpatient substance use treatment. UMR and Optum-administered plans follow the same in-network rates.

Most UnitedHealthcare members pay $0 out of pocket after deductible is met. We run a free, no-obligation verification of benefits. You'll know exactly what your plan covers before you commit to anything.

The full continuum of care — built around you

Altura Recovery in Bellaire treats adults at every level of outpatient care, with structured housing through one of our sober living partners. Wherever you are in your journey, we meet you there.

1. Detox — if medical detox is needed, we coordinate placement with trusted Houston detox partners. Your insurance is verified once, your records follow you, and our team is in touch with the detox unit so the handoff to PHP is seamless.
2. Residential / Inpatient — if 24-hour residential care is appropriate, we coordinate with vetted partners and bring you back into our PHP the day you step down.
3. PHP (Partial Hospitalization) — 30 hours per week of clinical care, Monday through Friday, with structured sober housing available through a partner program.
4. IOP (Intensive Outpatient) — 9 hours per week, morning and evening tracks so you can work or be with family. Continue in sober living with a partner program if you need the structure.
5. Virtual IOP — IOP delivered securely by video for clinically appropriate adults anywhere in Texas.
6. Structured Outpatient (SOP) — one weekly group plus one weekly individual therapy session for step-down accountability.
7. Aftercare & alumni — weekly groups, sponsor introductions, relapse-prevention check-ins.

One admissions call places you in the right level — and in housing if you need it.

Housing + clinical care, coordinated as one

Many people coming out of detox or residential need a structured place to live while they finish treatment. That's where our work with sober living partners comes in: gender-specific sober homes across the Houston metro with house managers, curfews, random screens, and required attendance at Altura's clinical groups.

For Aspire Recovery Homes specifically, families can review sober living for women in Houston and sober living for men in Houston.

• One admissions call places you in clinical + housing
• Transportation coordinated between house and Altura
• Clinical team and house staff communicate weekly
• Continued sober living after PHP/IOP if you need the runway

Sober living partners are separately operated companies. Housing fees are billed independently and are not part of clinical billing.
