Mountainside Treatment Center has announced a partnership with Optum, effective November 15th, that will expand access to its holistic addiction treatment services. The collaboration makes Mountainside an in-network provider for Optum, United Health Care, Oxford Health Plan, and Connecticare, significantly broadening the reach of its continuum of care.
The partnership is a strategic response to the growing need for accessible addiction treatment in the United States. Andre Basso, Chief Executive Officer at Mountainside Treatment Center, stated, '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 services include medically supervised detoxification, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and outpatient programs. Recently, the center introduced evening and weekend IOP services to accommodate individuals with work, family, or other commitments, demonstrating a commitment to flexible care. The treatment 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.
The center's quality care is underscored by its ASAM certification and dual accreditation from CARF International and The Joint Commission. This partnership with Optum is particularly significant given the ongoing addiction crisis, as it addresses a critical need for more accessible and effective addiction care. By expanding access, Mountainside and Optum have the potential to make a substantial impact on individuals and families affected by substance use disorders.
Mountainside's Integrative Care Model tailors treatment plans to each client's unique needs, coordinated by a multidisciplinary team to promote long-term sobriety and overall well-being. With services in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York, plus virtual care options, the center is well-positioned to serve a broader population in the Northeast region.
