What residential treatment means
Residential treatment means living at the program, with treatment and support around the clock. It fits when it isn't safe to be at home, or when outpatient care hasn't been enough. See IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care.
Call the number on your UnitedHealthcare card (behavioral health is often managed by Optum) and ask whether the program is in network, then confirm with the program.
