Ohio Medicaid covers online counseling services through licensed mental health providers, removing financial barriers that prevent many people from accessing treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Sunrise accepts all Ohio Medicaid plans for counseling and mental health services in Ohio, provided by licensed therapists specializing in addiction treatment.
Finding mental health professionals who accept Medicaid and offer flexible appointment options can be challenging, particularly in rural areas or smaller communities. Online therapy through Sunrise removes geographic limitations while maintaining the same clinical standards as traditional office visits. Ohio Medicaid members can access individual counseling, medication management, and case management services through secure video sessions with licensed therapists and psychiatric providers throughout the state.
Telehealth services eliminate the need to take extended time away from work or arrange transportation for appointments across town. The results of online therapy depend partly on consistent attendance, which becomes easier when Sunrise offers morning, lunch, and afternoon time slots that accommodate varying work schedules and family responsibilities. This allows you to attend mental health care appointments during breaks without needing to explain absences to employers or miss entire workdays for hour-long sessions.
Many Ohio Medicaid members face practical barriers to attending in-person appointments, including unreliable transportation, lack of childcare, or living in areas with limited public transit options. Online counseling from home removes these obstacles while providing the same quality treatment from licensed mental health professionals who specialize in treating substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and other behavioral health conditions.
Video sessions occur through secure platforms designed for healthcare delivery rather than consumer calling services. Sunrise Treatment Center operates as a certified addiction treatment program subject to federal confidentiality protections that exceed standard mental health privacy requirements, meaning we cannot confirm or deny someone is a patient without written consent, providing additional privacy layers for members addressing substance use disorders alongside other mental health issues.
