United Community Services offers a range of evidence-based treatment options to help individuals at different stages of recovery. Outpatient substance abuse treatment allows patients to receive counseling, therapy, and support while maintaining their daily responsibilities at home, work, or school. The facility also provides methadone maintenance therapy, a medication-assisted treatment proven effective for opioid addiction that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This comprehensive approach to substance abuse treatment ensures that individuals can access the level of care that best fits their clinical needs and life circumstances. Whether someone requires intensive outpatient programming or ongoing maintenance therapy, United Community Services is equipped to provide professional, compassionate care.
Understanding that financial concerns should never prevent someone from seeking treatment, United Community Services accepts multiple forms of payment including Medicaid, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), state-financed programs, and self-payment options. The facility also offers sliding fee scales and payment assistance to help ensure that cost is not a barrier to recovery. If you have health insurance, federal mental health parity laws require that your coverage for substance abuse treatment be equal to your medical and surgical benefits, helping make treatment more affordable.
