Struggling with addiction is hard, and finding the right help can feel overwhelming. If you’re considering recovery, you might have heard about Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT. MAT is a proven method that uses medications to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to focus on healing. But, like many people, you’re probably wondering about insurance coverage, especially if you have United Healthcare. This is where we, at Asana Recovery, can help guide you. We understand the challenges you face, and we’re here to provide clarity and support. This post will walk you through what MAT is, how United Healthcare typically covers it, and how Asana Recovery can be your partner on this journey. We’ll also touch on the various services we provide to support your recovery, because we believe that recovery is a full circle thing.
So, what exactly is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)? Simply put, MAT combines medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. It’s not about replacing one addiction with another; it’s about using FDA-approved medications to help you stabilize and manage the challenges of recovery. These medications work by reducing cravings and relieving withdrawal symptoms. Think of it as having a helping hand as you navigate the rocky path to recovery. These meds allow you to work on your recovery while also having less urges for drugs or alcohol.
There are a few common medications used in MAT. Methadone is one, which is used to treat opioid addiction by reducing cravings and withdrawal. Buprenorphine, often known as Suboxone or Subutex, is another, and it also helps with opioid dependence by reducing cravings and withdrawal without the high that can come with some other opioids. Naltrexone is an option which blocks the effects of opioids. It’s also available in a long-acting injectable form called Vivitrol which requires monthly administration. These medications are all prescribed and monitored by medical professionals, ensuring a safe and effective treatment. The key is that MAT is a part of a much larger treatment that also includes therapies that will help with the root causes of your addiction.
The beauty of MAT is in its benefits. When you are not consumed by intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms, you are able to focus on the things that really matter for your recovery. MAT can significantly reduce the chances of relapse. It also improves the chances of staying engaged in therapy and making positive changes. You are given the physical and mental space to finally make long lasting changes. At Asana Recovery, we understand how crucial MAT can be for a lot of people, which is why we are committed to making it accessible. It’s like getting the tools you need to build a new, healthier life. To explore more about our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), click here.
Insurance can be complicated, especially when you’re dealing with the stress of addiction recovery. United Healthcare is a major insurance provider, and it’s understandable that you’d want to know if your plan covers MAT. The good news is that many United Healthcare plans do offer coverage for MAT, as they recognize it’s a vital part of treatment for substance use disorders. However, the specifics of what’s covered can vary depending on your particular plan. Some plans might have specific co-pays or deductibles, while others might require pre-authorization before beginning treatment. Don’t get overwhelmed, we can break this down so it becomes easy to understand.
The best way to know exactly what your United Healthcare plan covers is to check with them directly. You can call the member services number on your insurance card, or check online through your account. While we encourage this as a starting point, we understand that going through this can be time-consuming and confusing. That’s why Asana Recovery offers Insurance Verification. We take the hassle out of the process by checking your coverage for you. It’s free, and it helps us create a treatment plan that works with your insurance. We have experience working with United Healthcare and can navigate through the system smoothly.
With Insurance Verification, we can also ensure there are no surprises with coverage costs. We want you to have peace of mind and focus on your recovery, not worry about insurance headaches. We know how challenging the process of insurance verification can be, so we try to help you and make it as straightforward and stress-free as possible. Let us take that burden off of your shoulders.
At Asana Recovery, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment plans. When you begin your journey with us, you’ll start with an initial assessment and consultation. This is a chance for us to get to know you and understand your unique situation. This consultation will include a detailed medical and psychological evaluation, so we can develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. We also make sure we get to know you and all the things that make you unique. You’re not just a number at Asana Recovery, we care about you and your story.
If MAT is part of your treatment plan, our medical team will carefully monitor your progress, making any necessary adjustments to your medication regimen. The goal is to find the most effective treatment approach for you. MAT is never done in isolation, it is integrated into a larger holistic plan. We use a combination of therapy, counseling, and support groups to make sure you’re getting all the help you need. Our therapies include both individual counseling and group sessions so you have a support system built into your journey. The idea is to address not just the physical side of addiction, but also the mental and emotional parts as well.
We understand that recovery from addiction is not just about stopping using, it is about building a whole new life. That is why our programs are built with a holistic approach that addresses all aspects of your recovery. These also include Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and even couples therapy if that is beneficial to your recovery. We want to make sure you are well equipped to handle life outside of treatment.
Choosing the right place for treatment is critical, and at Asana Recovery, we’re committed to providing the best possible care. One of the major advantages of choosing us is our experienced and compassionate staff.

MAT is a big part of our offering, but at Asana Recovery, we provide a whole suite of services to help you in your recovery journey. We understand that addiction is a complex disease and requires a multifaceted approach. For people who need more support, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a structured program that allows you to attend therapy and counseling sessions while continuing with your daily life. It’s a great option if you need more support than traditional outpatient care but don’t need to live in a facility full time.
We also offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a type of therapy that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It’s a really effective tool for people struggling with addiction because it can help you understand the underlying causes of your addiction. We also provide Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Addiction which is a therapy that helps people manage difficult emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve their relationships with other people.
We also know that addiction affects not just the person struggling with it, but the entire family. That’s why we offer couples therapy and family support services. Our family therapy program can help your loved ones understand addiction, and how to best support you, all while beginning your healing process together. We believe that healing is done best when you have a strong support system around you. Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone. We have programs for everyone and all situations, and we’re here to help.

It’s normal to have questions about MAT and insurance, especially when dealing with something so sensitive as addiction treatment. One common concern is that MAT might just be replacing one addiction with another. It’s very important to understand that MAT, when done properly, does not replace one addiction with another. MAT uses medications to help stabilize the brain, allowing you to make positive changes with therapy. We also see a lot of questions about long term effects of MAT and we encourage you to speak with our medical professional for detailed guidance specific to your own situations.
Another common question is about how to find out what your insurance plan covers. We’ve already covered how Asana Recovery can verify your insurance, but it’s important to know that you can always contact United Healthcare directly. When you reach out, be sure to ask about coverage for MAT, including medication, therapy, and other services. When looking at different programs, be sure to ask what they cover and if their programs are compatible with your insurance plan. Asking these questions ahead of time will help you make an informed decision. We want to make sure you’re going into this process well informed and prepared.
Some people worry that they won’t be able to afford treatment. At Asana Recovery, we believe that financial obstacles shouldn’t prevent you from seeking help. If you have concerns about your insurance options or if you need to explore other payment methods, you can explore our Private Pay and Payment Options. Our goal is to make treatment affordable and accessible for everyone. You have people who care about you and want to see you succeed, let us be another one of them.
