Aetna Rehab Coverage

Aetna, which is a subsidiary of CVS Health, offers several forms of insurance. The company’s offerings include employer-provided plans, student plans, international plans, and both individual and family plans through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. 

Aetna policies cover a variety of healthcare services, including treatment for substance abuse and mental health. Aetna’s rehab coverage increases the likelihood that the company’s policyholders can receive the care they need to establish a solid foothold in early recovery. 

Of course, the specific rehab services that a person’s policy covers can vary depending upon a range of factors. To identify the scope of addiction treatment programming that your policy will pay for, please feel free to contact Sanctuary Treatment Center. A member of our team can review the specifics of your policy with you. We can also answer any questions you may have about the extent of your coverage.

When you are seeking professional treatment for an addiction to alcohol or another drug, it is important to explore and understand the many options that are available to you. For example, addiction rehab can involve several types of services that are offered at multiple levels of care. Finding the right provider is a matter of identifying the treatment center whose approach and programming align most closely with your needs, goals, and expectations.

At Sanctuary Treatment Center, our continuum of care for adults whose lives have been impacted by addiction includes detoxification, inpatient rehab, and outpatient treatment:

• Detoxification: Commonly referred to as detox, this short-term program provides medical and therapeutic support to help people rid their bodies of alcohol and other addictive substances. If the pain of withdrawal has prevented a person from ending their substance abuse, detox can be a vital start to their time in treatment.
• Inpatient rehab: When a person enrolls in an inpatient program, they live at the facility where they are receiving care. Features of inpatient rehab at Sanctuary Treatment Center include personalized care plans, a customized array of therapies and related support services, multidisciplinary treatment teams, and detailed discharge planning.
• Outpatient treatment: Once a person has completed inpatient rehab, they may step down to an outpatient program for continued support as they prepare to transition out of treatment. Outpatient programming can also be an ideal option for people who can benefit from structured clinical services, but whose needs are not severe enough to warrant round-the-clock care.

Aetna rehab coverage can fund treatment for several types of substance use disorders (which is the clinical term for addiction). The following are examples of the types of addiction that adults may receive care for at our center in Los Angeles:

• Alcohol addiction (alcoholism)
• Opioid addiction (which includes addictions to heroin and prescription painkillers)
• Benzodiazepine addiction
• Cocaine addiction
• Meth addiction
• Crack addiction

Please note that this is a representative list of the more common types of addiction that we treat. If you or someone in your family has become addicted to a substance that is not listed above, you can still get the help you need at Sanctuary Treatment Center. For a more thorough explanation of our admissions policies, please contact us directly.

Many people who become addicted to alcohol or other drugs are also struggling with co-occurring mental health disorders such as: 

• Anxiety 
• Depression
• Bipolar disorder
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

For addiction treatment to be most effective, it must address the full scope of each person’s needs. This includes both substance-related services and mental health programming. Failing to properly treat a co-occurring mental health concern can undermine a person’s ability to achieve long-term recovery. 

The good news for people who have Aetna insurance is that Aetna’s rehab coverage includes mental health services.
