Mountainside Treatment Center has partnered with Optum, becoming an in-network provider for Optum, United Health Care, Oxford Health Plan, and Connecticare effective November 15th. This collaboration broadens the reach of the center's holistic addiction treatment services to a wider community. Andre Basso, Chief Executive Officer at Mountainside Treatment Center, stated the organization is thrilled to partner with Optum Insurance to expand its reach and help more individuals and families in need. The center's holistic approach to addiction treatment, combined with flexible and innovative programs, has proven effective in helping individuals achieve long-term recovery.
Mountainside's comprehensive continuum of care offers services designed to meet diverse needs, including medically supervised detoxification, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient programs. The center recently introduced evening and weekend intensive outpatient program services to accommodate individuals with work, family, or other commitments, demonstrating commitment to flexible and accessible care. The treatment approach combines evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational therapy with complementary therapies like yoga, meditation, and acupuncture. This holistic model addresses not only addiction but also underlying issues contributing to substance use disorders.
The center's commitment to quality care is evident in its national recognition and accreditations, holding an ASAM certification and dual accreditation from CARF International and The Joint Commission. The partnership with Optum is significant in the context of the ongoing addiction crisis in the United States, addressing a critical need for more accessible and effective addiction care by expanding access to high-quality treatment. This collaboration has potential to make substantial impact on individuals and families affected by substance use disorders, offering hope and support to those who might otherwise struggle to find appropriate treatment.
Mountainside's Integrative Care Model, which tailors treatment plans to each client's unique needs and interests, is now more accessible to a broader population. This individualized approach, coordinated by a multidisciplinary treatment team, aims to promote long-term sobriety and overall well-being. With services offered in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York, plus virtual care options, Mountainside is poised to make significant impact on addiction treatment accessibility in the Northeast region. The addition of Optum to their network of insurance providers represents a major step forward in making comprehensive, high-quality addiction treatment available to those who need it most.
