With UMR acting as a third-party administrator for UnitedHealthcare plans, you can access an extensive network of providers covering detox, residential treatment, outpatient services, and medication-assisted treatment. In this article, you’ll learn how residential care works, what UMR covers, the levels of treatment available, and why The Hope House is a strong choice for your recovery journey.
Understand meth residential care
What a residential program is
A residential program places you in a live-in facility where you receive around-the-clock support, structured therapy sessions, and medical supervision. Unlike outpatient settings, residential care removes daily distractions and enables you to focus fully on recovery.
How residential care supports recovery
Residential treatment offers:
- A safe, substance-free environment
- Daily individual and group therapy
- On-site medical and nursing staff
- Peer support from others facing similar challenges
This immersive approach helps you stabilize physically and emotionally, laying the groundwork for long-term sobriety.
Typical program structure
Most meth residential programs follow a phased schedule:
- Orientation and intake: Assessment of medical history, psychiatric needs, and social supports
- Detoxification: Medically supervised withdrawal management
- Therapeutic phase: Individual counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, group sessions
- Skill building: Coping strategies, relapse prevention planning, life-skills workshops
- Aftercare planning: Transition to outpatient or community-based support
If you need to detox before entering residential care, check out our meth detox program with UMR insurance.
Explore UMR insurance benefits
Third-party administrator role
UMR is the nation’s largest third-party administrator (TPA) for UnitedHealthcare plans, handling claims processing and network access without directly underwriting risk. As a TPA, UMR expands mental health and addiction treatment coverage for millions of members [1].
Coverage under ACA and parity laws
Because UMR follows Affordable Care Act requirements and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, substance use disorder treatment must be covered on par with medical and surgical services. As a result, you’re entitled to medically necessary detox, residential programs, outpatient therapy, and medication-assisted treatment.
Coverage details for meth rehab
Your actual benefits depend on your specific UnitedHealthcare policy administered by UMR. Common coverages include:
- Medical detox centers
- Residential (inpatient) treatment
- Partial hospitalization programs (PHP)
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)
- Outpatient counseling and therapy
- Medication-assisted treatment (eg, suboxone)
UMR does not mandate treatment length; instead, your care team and insurer collaborate to ensure appropriate duration based on your needs [2].
Coverage tiers and cost-sharing
Many UMR plans feature tiered prescription benefits and cost-sharing structures. A sample breakdown:
| Coverage tier | Description |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Least expensive generic medications |
| Tier 2 | Preferred brand medications |
| Tier 3 | Higher-cost brands, including medication-assisted treatment |
If you meet your annual deductible, UMR may cover up to 100% of rehab expenses, reducing your financial burden.
Access to nationwide provider network
With UMR’s network of over 3,000 providers, you can find accredited detox and residential centers across the country. This network ensures you receive quality care under your in-network benefits, avoiding surprise out-of-network charges.
Assess treatment level options
Inpatient residential care
Inpatient care immerses you in a full-time treatment environment. You’ll live on-site, participate in daily therapy, and receive around-the-clock medical support. This level is ideal if you need intensive supervision or have co-occurring mental health conditions.
Partial hospitalization program
A PHP offers structured support similar to inpatient care but allows you to return home or to transitional housing in the evenings. You’ll attend therapy and medical appointments for several hours each day, balancing intensity with flexibility.
Intensive outpatient program
An IOP provides multiple weekly therapy sessions while you maintain your daily routines. This level is suited for those stepping down from residential or PHP or for people with strong home supports.
Outpatient therapy services
Outpatient care is the least intensive level, involving weekly individual or group counseling sessions. You remain at home full time, attending scheduled appointments at The Hope House or a network clinic.
| Level of care | Daily structure | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|
| Inpatient residential | 24/7 on-site support | Acute withdrawal, high-risk relapse |
| Partial hospitalization (PHP) | 5–7 hours daily | Stabilizing after detox, high structure need |
| Intensive outpatient (IOP) | 9–20 hours weekly | Moderate support, transitional care |
| Outpatient | 1–4 hours weekly | Ongoing recovery maintenance |

With UMR administration, your detox, residential, and outpatient services integrate seamlessly. You’ll work with a unified care team that shares treatment plans and progress notes, reducing gaps in your recovery journey.

UMR coverage extends to evidence-based and holistic therapies, such as:

- Dialectical behavior therapy
- Trauma-informed care
- Yoga, mindfulness, and art therapy
A diverse therapeutic menu ensures you find approaches that resonate with your unique needs.
