In a significant move to address the growing need for accessible addiction treatment, Mountainside Treatment Center has announced its partnership with Optum, effective November 15th. This collaboration makes Mountainside an in-network provider for Optum, United Health Care, Oxford Health Plan, and Connecticare, broadening the reach of their holistic, best-in-class addiction treatment services to a wider community.
Andre Basso, Chief Executive Officer at Mountainside Treatment Center, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, ‘We are thrilled to partner with Optum Insurance to expand our reach and help more individuals and families in need. Our holistic approach to addiction treatment, combined with our flexible and innovative programs, has proven effective in helping individuals achieve long-term recovery.’
Mountainside’s comprehensive continuum of care offers a range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of individuals struggling with substance use disorders. These services include medically supervised detoxification, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient programs. Notably, Mountainside has recently introduced evening and weekend IOP services to accommodate individuals with work, family, or other commitments, demonstrating their commitment to flexible and accessible care.
The treatment center’s approach combines evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational therapy (MT) with complementary therapies like yoga, meditation, and acupuncture. This holistic model aims to address not only the addiction itself but also the underlying issues that contribute to substance use disorders.
Mountainside’s commitment to quality care is evident in its national recognition and accreditations. The center holds an ASAM certification and dual accreditation from CARF International and The Joint Commission, underscoring its adherence to high standards of treatment and care.
The partnership with Optum is particularly significant in the context of the ongoing addiction crisis in the United States. By expanding access to high-quality treatment, Mountainside and Optum are addressing a critical need for more accessible and effective addiction care. This collaboration has the potential to make a substantial impact on individuals and families affected by substance use disorders, offering hope and support to those who might otherwise struggle to find appropriate treatment.
Mountainside’s Integrative Care Model, which tailors treatment plans to each client’s unique needs and interests, is now more accessible to a broader population. This individualized approach, coordinated by a multidisciplinary treatment team, aims to promote long-term sobriety and overall well-being.
With services offered in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York, as well as virtual care options, Mountainside is poised to make a significant impact on addiction treatment accessibility in the Northeast region. The addition of Optum to their network of insurance providers represents a major step forward in making comprehensive, high-quality addiction treatment available to those who need it most.
