Optum Insurance for Addiction and Mental Health Treatment at California Recovery Center
Getting help for addiction or mental health challenges shouldn’t be delayed because of financial concerns. If you have Optum insurance, you may already have access to a wide range of behavioral health services without needing to pay the full cost out of pocket.
Optum, a division of UnitedHealth Group, offers behavioral health coverage under many employer-sponsored and individual health plans. California Recovery Center accepts Optum and works directly with the insurance provider to ensure that your recovery journey is both effective and financially accessible.
What Addiction and Mental Health Services Are Covered by Optum?
Optum’s behavioral health plans typically include coverage for a variety of treatment services related to substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Depending on your specific policy, coverage may include:
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
- Dual diagnosis treatment
- Therapy and counseling sessions (individual, group, and family therapy)
- Aftercare and relapse prevention planning
At CRC, we tailor each client’s treatment plan based on clinical needs and what’s covered by their Optum policy. Our admissions team is here to help you navigate the insurance process from start to finish.

Optum in California
California continues to face high rates of substance use and untreated mental health conditions:
- Nearly 3 million Californians struggle with substance use, but only a fraction receive professional help.
- In 2023, opioid-related deaths reached over 7,000 cases statewide.
- 1 in 5 adults in California report poor mental health, yet many cite cost and access as barriers to care.
- Optum covers millions of members across California through employer-sponsored plans, Medicare Advantage, and Medi-Cal managed care.
CRC fills a critical gap by offering accessible treatment options for Optum members who are ready to reclaim their health and build a better future.
