About Optum
Optum runs the behavioral health network for UnitedHealthcare plans, including UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, so a program in Optum's network is how it's in network for many UnitedHealthcare members.
What detox means
Detox (withdrawal management) is care while your body clears alcohol or drugs, with staff watching for and treating withdrawal. It's a first step, not treatment on its own: most people go on to residential, PHP, IOP or outpatient care afterward. See IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care.
Call the member services number on your Optum card and ask whether the program is in network for substance use treatment at the level of care you need, then confirm with the program.
