United Healthcare's Commitment to Mental Health and Addiction Treatments
Many United Healthcare health insurance plans include services for therapy, psychiatric care, and addiction treatment, meaning families can pursue help for substance use disorders, drug or alcohol addiction, and co-occurring emotional challenges without feeling overwhelmed or alone. This approach helps teens receive compassionate, structured care without paying for more than they should.

United's Mental Health Coverage for Teens at Key Healthcare
When a teen is struggling, families deserve care that brings real relief. United Healthcare insurance plans can help cover mental health and substance use treatment, giving teens a safe place to heal and parents a sense of steady guidance. At Key Healthcare, we work closely with United Healthcare to provide structured programs, licensed clinicians, and a caring environment where your teen can rebuild confidence, emotional strength, and life skills.
Here, treatment for substance abuse or mental health issues is never one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand each child, assess needs, and recommend the level of care that fits your family’s life, whether that means detoxification, partial hospitalization, or outpatient programs.
Teen Treatment Programs Covered
United Healthcare offers coverage options for a range of treatment settings, meaning your teen can receive the right level of care at the right time. Our treatment model blends proven therapies, family involvement, group therapy, medication-assisted treatment when indicated, and school support, all grounded in compassion and clinical expertise. We’ll help you understand your insurance information, explain how coverage works, and answer questions about deductibles, in-network benefits, and any out-of-pocket expenses.
Teen Residential Treatment Program
Residential care offers full-time care for teens who need structure, safety, and consistent therapeutic guidance to overcome their substance abuse issues and more. With United Healthcare rehab benefits, families may receive coverage for inpatient treatment when medically necessary. Teens live on-site, receive counseling, psychiatric care, and daily therapeutic activities, while parents stay involved every step of the way.
Partial Hospitalization Program
Partial hospitalization provides intensive daytime treatment for substance abuse while still allowing teens to return home at night. This level of support often serves as a step-down from inpatient care or a direct entry point for teens requiring structured care. United Healthcare plans frequently include PHP when recommended by doctors and tied to a clinical need for stabilization.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Intensive outpatient treatment gives teens a flexible schedule as they begin reintegrating into school and home life. With scheduled therapy, group sessions, and regular check-ins, teens receive continued guidance while maintaining daily routines. Many United Healthcare plans include IOP, helping families get care without pausing life commitments.
Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (VIOP)
For families who need treatment at home or live farther from our center, our Virtual IOP offers telehealth services and structured care delivered by licensed clinicians. United Healthcare coverage may include virtual programs, making it easier to stay consistent with treatment and maintain progress even when travel isn’t possible.
Our goal in developing Key Healthcare was to create programs that gave teens the guidance they needed to draw on their strengths and realize their potential to live fulfilling happy lives. Based on our own experiences, we believe that everyone has the ability to change if given the proper structure and connection
