Insurance and Treatment
Why Unity Preferred Coverage for Addiction Treatment Matters
Addiction is a complex medical condition, and professional treatment can make all the difference in a person’s ability to achieve lasting recovery. Having insurance coverage through Unity Preferred can help remove the financial barriers that often prevent individuals from seeking the help they need.
When insurance is in place, individuals can focus on their recovery rather than on cost. Coverage reduces out-of-pocket expenses for treatment services including therapy, counseling, and outpatient programming, making it possible for more people to access care when they need it most. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA), self-insured employer plans accessing a network like Unity Preferred are generally required to provide behavioral health coverage on par with other medical benefits — which means substance use disorder treatment must be a covered benefit under your plan.
Choosing an in-network provider also ensures that you maximize your available benefits, reducing what you pay out of pocket and ensuring that your care is fully recognized by your plan.

How Insurance Can Help
Understanding Your Unity Preferred Addiction Treatment Coverage
Because Unity Preferred serves as a network for self-insured employer plans, coverage specifics are determined by your employer’s health plan. Many plans that operate within the Unity Preferred network include benefits for a range of substance use disorder treatment services, including outpatient care at the PHP, IOP, and standard outpatient levels.
Coverage through a Unity Preferred plan may also include individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health conditions, and aftercare services. The extent of your benefits will depend on your specific plan, so it is important to verify your coverage before beginning treatment.
The ARTS admissions team is here to help. We can verify your Unity Preferred benefits at no cost, walk you through your coverage, and help you understand what to expect before your first day of treatment.

How The ARTS Can Help Unity Preferred Members
In-Network with Unity Preferred The ARTS is in-network with Unity Preferred, which means that eligible members can access our programs at in-network benefit rates. Working with an in-network facility is the simplest and most cost-effective way to put your insurance to work for your recovery.
Individualized Treatment Plans Every client who comes to The ARTS receives a personalized treatment plan developed by our clinical team. We take the time to understand each individual’s unique background, needs, and goals so that we can deliver care that is genuinely aligned with their path to recovery.
Evidence-Based Therapies Our programs draw on proven, evidence-based therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and more. These methods address the underlying causes of addiction and equip clients with practical tools for long-term sobriety.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Many individuals seeking addiction treatment also struggle with co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. The ARTS specializes in integrated dual diagnosis treatment, ensuring that both conditions are addressed simultaneously for more comprehensive and lasting results.
Holistic and Whole-Person Care At The ARTS, we believe that recovery involves healing the whole person — not just stopping substance use. Our programs incorporate wellness elements alongside clinical treatment to support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing throughout the recovery journey.
Aftercare and Long-Term Support Recovery is a lifelong process, and The ARTS is committed to supporting clients beyond the conclusion of formal treatment. We work with each individual to develop a comprehensive aftercare plan designed to sustain the gains made during their time in our program.
What Sets Us Apart
Outpatient Treatment Programs at The ARTS
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Our PHP delivers structured, intensive treatment during the day while allowing clients to return home each evening. It is ideal for individuals who need a high level of clinical support and supervision but do not require residential placement.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Our IOP provides therapy sessions and group programming several days per week on a schedule that accommodates work, school, and family obligations. It is a particularly strong fit for clients transitioning from a higher level of care or those who require more support than standard outpatient treatment provides.
Outpatient Program Our outpatient program offers continued counseling and support as clients apply their recovery skills in everyday life. It is designed for individuals with a stable recovery foundation who are actively working toward sustained, independent sobriety.
Virtual IOP For clients who prefer remote access to care, The ARTS offers a virtual intensive outpatient program that provides the same evidence-based clinical programming as our in-person IOP through secure, convenient online sessions.
