The top issue that prevents people who suffer from substance abuse disorders is the cost of seeking treatment. Individuals and their loved ones are intimidated from detox and inpatient care because they worry that the price is out of reach. The cost of sobriety, though, is far less in the long run than addiction. Also, insurance can defray, and in some cases even completely cover, the cost considerably.
You may be wondering if Aetna Insurance covers drug rehab? And if so, how much of your treatment can be covered by insurance? You may be wondering if insurance will cover it at all.
You may not have even considered using insurance to afford rehab. Every insurance company is different. Insurance through Cigna, for example, is different coverage than Aetna. Even within the same insurance company, how much your provider will cover depends on your plan and the services that you require.
Aetna insurance has been making health care affordable for many Americans for the past 166 years. Founded in 1953, Aetna serves 22.1 million medical members. In addition, their care network includes 1.2 million health care professionals to provide you the help that you need when you need it. It provides a wide range of mental and behavioral health services.
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:
Most people wouldn’t think twice about their insurance covering at least part of the cost of their hospital visit. However, many don’t consider insurance as an option when it comes to looking after their mental and behavioral wellness. Aetna insurance, however, understands mental and behavioral wellness is a key factor in physical wellness.
If you’re wondering if this insurance covers drug rehab, it may be hard to know where to turn to find answers. The short answer is yes, Aetna does offer coverage for drug rehabilitation. Aetna partners with CRC Health Group to provide treatment for opioid and alcohol addiction. However, exactly how much Aetna covers depends largely on your specific plan.
Your level of coverage depends on a variety of factors. Your particular needs, such as whether you require inpatient or outpatient services and the length of your stay, will affect the price of your treatment and how much Aetna will cover.
The road to alcohol addiction treatment is not always the same as drug treatment. It may take a while before you or your loved one realize that alcohol has crossed over into becoming a real problem. You may even wonder if your drinking is enough of a reason to be covered by insurance. It may be a relief to know that Aetna covers services for alcohol addiction as well as drug addiction. If you want to quit drinking and find that you need help, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your insurance will agree with you.
Aetna will cover a wide range of services to help you on your journey to sobriety. However, what services Aetna covers specifically depends on your plan and needs. You can contact Aetna customer support to get the answers on your specific policy.
Also, feel free to contact our advisors to get help if navigating insurance feels too overwhelming.
Addiction rarely happens by itself. Often, addiction occurs as a coping mechanism for other mental health disorders. To stay sober, then, you need to treat the underlying issues that contributed to your addiction. When you receive treatment for your drug or alcohol addiction, you may need to obtain additional help for other mental health conditions.
You may wonder, then, whether Aetna covers mental health disorders. The great news is that it does. Aetna understands that mental wellness is foundational for physical wellness. It views services related to the mind as essential for overall health as much as physical check-ups. Aetna’s use of data combines mental health care with your physical services. This united data means that your care is seamless. Your doctors and practitioners can get all the information that they need to make sure that your care is relevant for all your needs, from a physical and mental standpoint.
However, precisely what is covered varies widely depending on your plan. Our experts can help you understand your mental health benefits. Contact our customer service today to get the assistance you need to understand and use your mental health benefits.
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 are ready for recovery, you have many options for detoxification. Sometimes, to ease withdrawal symptoms, treatment centers will provide prescription medication. Common medications prescribed include Suboxone and Methadone. Aetna does cover a variety of mediation, including prescription medication for opioid addiction. Aetna health insurance does cover Suboxone treatment under specific plans. Methadone clinics may also be covered depending on your policy, location, and substance abuse history. Contact Aetna or one of our advisors today to see if Suboxone or Methadone is covered under your plan.
At Asana Recovery, our Orange County Addiction Treatment Center helps facilitate healing and recovery. From luxury living facilities in Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and central Orange County, each client who enters our facility leaves with a comprehensive understanding and strong foothold of recovery. Accompanied by safe and structured sober living, our staff members and support staff understand the grave affects of addiction, and have successfully helped countless others find long-term recovery. If you would like to find out more about Aetna insurance coverage for your addiction treatment, please reach out to one of our experts to find out more. Aetna does in fact cover drug rehab, and can be little to no-cost. Our admissions coordinators can run a free insurance verification to see what is covered under your Aetna policy.

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
