The high cost of treatment often deters individuals with substance use disorders from seeking help. Many avoid detox and inpatient care, fearing these services are financially unattainable. However, the long-term costs of addiction far exceed those of achieving sobriety. Fortunately, insurance can significantly reduce, or even fully cover, treatment expenses.
If you’re considering drug rehabilitation, you might question whether Aetna Insurance provides coverage and, if so, to what extent. Rest assured, Aetna does cover drug and alcohol rehab. The Affordable Care Act mandates that all insurance companies offer some form of coverage for substance use treatment. The extent of coverage for a rehab program will depend on the state, the healthcare plan, and whether the facility is considered in-network or out-of-network.
Insurance might not be the first thing you think of when considering how to afford rehab, but it can be a vital resource. Coverage varies significantly between insurance companies—for instance, Cigna’s coverage may differ from Aetna’s. Even within the same provider, the extent of coverage depends on your specific plan and the types of services you need. Understanding the details of your insurance policy can make treatment more accessible and affordable.
Aetna also covers a wide range of treatment options beyond initial detox and rehabilitation that are offered as Asana in Southern California. At Asana Recovery, we offer a number of individualized services for those suffering from the devastating effects of alcoholism and drug addiction including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among others. Our world-class staff understands the complex nature of addiction and our overarching services include:
Addiction is often deeply intertwined with mental health disorders, serving as a coping mechanism for underlying challenges such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Achieving lasting sobriety requires addressing these root causes alongside substance use. Comprehensive treatment for addiction often includes care for co-occurring mental health conditions to support a full and sustainable recovery.
If you’re wondering whether Aetna covers mental health services, the good news is that it does. Aetna recognizes the vital connection between mental and physical health, treating mental wellness as an essential part of overall well-being. Their integrated approach leverages data to coordinate mental health care with physical health services, ensuring seamless communication among your healthcare providers. This alignment helps create a personalized care plan that addresses all aspects of your health.
Coverage specifics, however, depend on your Aetna plan. Our team of experts is here to guide you through understanding and maximizing your mental health benefits. Contact us today to gain clarity and access the support you need for a healthier future.
In addition to mental health services, Aetna covers a range of behavioral health and rehab treatment programs. Pre-authorization is required for many of the services included. To get the pre-authorization for coverage, contact Aetna Member Services or their Behavioral Health line. You can also contact them online with their behavioral health provider search. Typically, pre-authorization is not required for outpatient behavioral health services. In most cases, a referral from your primary physician is necessary for coverage. However, it depends on your specific plan, and some sponsors require pre-authorization for all services. Services that require pre-authorization include:
When you’re ready to begin your recovery journey, you have several options for detoxification, including medical support to ease withdrawal symptoms. Many treatment centers use prescription medications like Suboxone and Methadone to help manage opioid addiction safely and effectively. Aetna health insurance provides coverage for a range of treatments, including these medications, under certain plans.
Suboxone treatment is often covered, but the extent of coverage depends on your specific plan. Methadone clinics may also be included in your benefits, influenced by factors such as your policy details, location, and treatment history. To learn more about your coverage for Suboxone or Methadone, contact Aetna directly or connect with one of our knowledgeable advisors today. We’re here to help you navigate your benefits and take the first step toward recovery.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
