Affordable Online Therapy

Mental health treatment costs can prevent people from getting help when they need it most. Online therapy removes financial barriers while providing the same quality care as traditional office visits.

Sunrise Treatment Center offers affordable online therapy through our telehealth platform, allowing access to licensed counselors and medical providers from your home. Our digital services maintain the same evidence-based treatment standards as our in-person programs while reducing costs and increasing flexibility for working professionals, parents, and anyone with scheduling constraints.

Break free from past trauma with specialized online trauma therapy that connects you with licensed counselors who understand addiction and mental health recovery.

Budgeting for Therapeutic Processes

Mental health treatment costs can add up quickly, especially when you need consistent weekly sessions over several months. Transportation, childcare, and time away from work create additional expenses many people don't consider when budgeting for therapy.

We address these cost concerns through flexible payment options and multiple service delivery methods. Whether you choose online sessions or visit one of our Ohio locations for more traditional therapy, our rates remain consistent, and our billing team works with various insurance plans to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

Our telehealth platform provides an additional option for patients who want to reduce travel costs or need more flexible scheduling. The same licensed counselors and medical providers deliver evidence-based treatment whether you're in our office or connecting from home.

Process loss and grief at your own pace through virtual grief counseling designed for people managing substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions.

Quality Mental Health Care Shouldn't Break the Bank

Sunrise Treatment Center has licensed counselors and physicians specializing in addiction medicine and mental health care. Our staff provides the same clinical expertise whether you meet with them online or at one of our Ohio locations.

We use cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and medication-assisted treatment because they work. These methods have proven effective for treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions when delivered by professionals who understand addiction as a medical condition.

You can easily access our specialized staff without travel time or transportation costs, meet with the same addiction medicine experts who work at our physical locations, making specialized care more accessible regardless of where you live in Ohio.

Online mental health services eliminate barriers to consistent treatment and fit your busy schedule.

Clinical Evidence Supporting Telehealth

Research from major medical institutions confirms that telehealth therapy produces clinical outcomes equal to office visits. Studies analyzing thousands of patients demonstrate that online mental health services deliver the same therapeutic benefits as traditional appointments:

  • Equal Treatment Outcomes: Multiple studies comparing matched patient groups found no significant differences in clinical outcomes between telehealth and in-person mental health treatment (Military Medicine, 2022).
  • Higher Attendance Rates: Community mental health centers reported attendance rate increases ranging from 9.2% to 30.2% after implementing telehealth services (PMC, 2023).
  • Better Treatment Compliance: Telehealth patients showed 8% higher attendance at treatment sessions and 9% higher adherence to prescribed treatment programs compared to in-person therapy (Journal of Physiotherapy, 2024).
  • Strong Patient Satisfaction: 89% of Americans who used telehealth services reported satisfaction with their most recent visit (Public Opinion Strategies, 2024).

Therapy Options That Work Within Your Budget

We offer multiple levels of outpatient care designed to fit different schedules and financial situations. You can start with basic individual counseling or move into more intensive programs as your needs change, without being locked into expensive long-term contracts.

Our outpatient structure lets you keep working and maintain your income while getting treatment. This approach makes therapy more affordable over time compared to residential programs that require you to stop earning money while paying for care.

Individual Therapy Sessions

Sunrise Treatment Center provides individual counseling as the core component of outpatient treatment. Weekly sessions with licensed counselors focus on substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions using cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing:

  • Specialized Staff: Licensed counselors with training in addiction medicine who understand how substance use and mental health conditions interact.
  • Flexible Scheduling: Sessions can be conducted in-person at any Ohio location or through telehealth platforms at the same rate.
  • Personalized Treatment Plans: Counselors develop individualized strategies based on your specific substance use history and mental health needs.
  • Adjustable Frequency: Sessions typically start weekly but can be modified based on your progress and financial situation without penalties.

Group Therapy and Support Communities

Group therapy sessions are offered in in-person and telehealth formats. Our Intensive Outpatient Program includes online group sessions, which provide structured treatment while eliminating transportation barriers.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) delivers nine hours of group therapy per week over three days in three-hour sessions, following a sixteen-week curriculum. These groups focus on relapse prevention, coping skills development, and managing co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders.

Licensed addiction specialists facilitate all group sessions, whether in-person or through telehealth. Online group sessions allow participation from home, removing barriers like transportation, childcare, or work schedule conflicts that can prevent consistent attendance.

How Our Treatment Makes Quality Mental Health Care Affordable

Sunrise Treatment Center's telehealth services reduce many costs associated with getting mental health treatment. Online sessions eliminate travel expenses, parking fees, and the need for childcare or time off work to attend appointments.

Our telehealth platform connects you with the same licensed addiction specialists and mental health professionals who work at our physical locations throughout Ohio. You receive identical clinical care whether you meet with your counselor online or in person, but telehealth removes geographic limitations that might otherwise require long drives to specialized providers.

The flexibility of online sessions makes it easier to maintain consistent treatment, which supports better outcomes. When you can attend regular appointments without transportation barriers or schedule conflicts, you're more likely to complete your treatment program successfully and develop the skills needed for long-term recovery.

Insurance and Payment Options We Accept

Sunrise Treatment Center accepts insurance for online sessions at the same rates as in-person visits. Our billing department verifies telehealth benefits before your first appointment to confirm coverage and explain any costs upfront:

  • Ohio Medicaid Plans: Covers telehealth sessions with no out-of-pocket costs for most patients enrolled in Aetna Better Health, Buckeye, CareSource, Molina, and UHC Community Health plans.
  • Medicare Coverage: Accepts traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans from Anthem, Humana, Buckeye, CareSource, Molina, and United Healthcare for online therapy services.
  • Commercial Insurance: Works with Anthem and other commercial plans that cover telehealth mental health services, though copays and deductibles may apply.
  • Pre-Tax Payment Options: Accepts FSA and HSA funds for online sessions, allowing you to use pre-tax dollars for mental health treatment delivered through telehealth platforms.

Sliding Scale Pricing Based on Income

Sunrise Treatment Center offers reduced-cost therapy through our sliding fee program for patients without insurance or facing financial hardship. The program uses Federal Poverty Guidelines to determine eligibility based on family size and income level.

Our financial assistance applies to telehealth and in-person services at the same reduced rates. Patients can access therapy sessions immediately while their sliding scale application is processed, preventing delays in starting treatment due to financial concerns.

The application requires income documentation and basic family information. Our staff handles applications confidentially and works with patients to determine appropriate fee structures that make consistent online sessions affordable within their budget.

Transparent Pricing Without Hidden Fees

Sunrise Treatment Center provides transparent pricing for sessions with no surprise charges or hidden costs. Our fee structure for telehealth services remains the same as in-person visits, so you know exactly what to expect:

  • Upfront Cost Information: All telehealth session fees are explained before your first appointment, including any additional charges for assessments or testing.
  • No Contract Requirements: Online therapy sessions are scheduled as needed without long-term commitments or cancellation penalties.
  • Flexible Payment Terms: You can adjust session frequency based on your budget and treatment progress without additional fees.
  • Consistent Billing: Telehealth sessions are billed at the same rates as office visits, with no technology fees or platform charges added to your costs.

Getting Started With Online Counseling

Starting online therapy at Sunrise Treatment Center begins with a phone consultation to discuss your needs and verify insurance coverage for telehealth services. Our clinical team explains how online sessions work, reviews technology requirements, and schedules your initial assessment appointment.

Your first telehealth appointment includes a comprehensive assessment through our secure video platform. During this session, we complete clinical evaluations, discuss treatment goals, and develop your individualized plan for ongoing online therapy sessions with our licensed addiction specialists.

We can typically schedule mental health care assessments within 24-48 hours of your initial contact. The telehealth format eliminates travel time to our offices while providing the same thorough evaluation process you would receive during an in-person visit.

Beyond Online Therapy: Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Services

Online therapy addresses many mental health needs, but addiction treatment often requires medical services that telehealth can't provide. Sunrise Treatment Center operates specialized programs for patients dealing with substance use disorders and medical conditions:

  • Medication-Assisted Treatment: Ohio's first buprenorphine-only Opioid Treatment Program with on-site medication dispensing and prescription options for opioid use disorder.
  • In-House Laboratory: Immediate urine toxicology results that support real-time clinical decisions rather than waiting days for outside lab results.
  • Partial Hospitalization Programs: Structured day treatment at Portsmouth locations for patients needing intensive outpatient care.
  • Supportive Housing: Recovery housing in Portsmouth for patients requiring structured living environments during treatment.
  • Specialized Medical Care: Pregnancy services for women in recovery, hepatitis C treatment, and general medical services for patients between primary care providers.
  • Case Management: Assistance in completing benefits applications, social services, and practical barriers that interfere with recovery progress.
