Aetna was formed in the 1800s with a name inspired by an 11,000 foot volcano in Sicily, Italy. In the 1960s, they were the first to write individual life insurance policies to protect American astronauts in the early days of the space program and paid the first Medicare claim in the country.
Today, Aetna is a leader in addressing health disparities; they recently hired their first woman president in the company’s history.
Aetna provides a variety of health-related insurance plans and is today one of the oldest and largest health insurers in the U.S.
In 2018, Aetna was acquired by CVS Health in a move that merged health insurance offerings with an extensive network of pharmacies and services. The company is known for a broad network of providers and a focus on giving members resources to maintain and improve their health.

Soberman’s Estate was everything I needed for my recovery. The staff, the program, physical activity and culinary experience were top notch and essential. The program is well designed and worked better than I expected. The staff is remarkable - professional, considerate and genuinely caring. My time there and being removed from alcohol for five weeks was everything I needed to remove my craving for alcohol. Soberman has changed my life in ways I never could have imagined. I feel confident, secure and grateful for my new life. I have reconnected with my family and friends. Thank you Soberman.

I have been a professional interventionist since 2010. I was introduced to this program in 2012. I have been referring there since then. My clients have always had a positive experience and the clinical and support staff are the most responsive and knowledgeable. They want what’s best for the client and the family and have long term options. They do very well young adult males and most recently I referred a 69 year old man first time treatment. It was a family member and he’s doing very well and committed to 90 days of treatment. I can’t thank the clinical staff and administrators enough for the program they have created. Please contact me if you would like to know more. Thank you STC!!!

BEST PLACE EVER. I have tried various other doctors/clinics and none of them even begin to compare to this one. The staff here is absolutely amazing. I can’t even make a single complaint. Dr Son is the best as well. He explains everything and you truly feel like he understands you. I can proudly say this, this place saved my life. If you or someone you know needs help getting off opiates do it right the first time and come here. You won’t be disappointed. If you are specifically struggling with fentanyl please don’t waste your time with other ways. I have tried 6 other methods from lazer therapy to having the earpiece to suboxone. Methadone is the key to our current fentanyl crisis. This clinic makes recovery possible again!

I didn’t walk in expecting much, but this place really surprised me. Detox was handled professionally and the staff genuinely cared. Residential was structured and real—not just talk. I learned a lot and I’m leaving in a much better place.

Rise really means a lot to me. I’ve been to the Malibu location twice, and both times the team made me feel genuinely cared for, supported, and understood during some of the hardest times in my life. Dr. Mark was awesome to work with, and I also want to thank Ron, Sherry, Nam, Tessa, Zack, and Ryan. You all made a bigger impact on me than you probably know. What makes Rise special is that it never just felt like treatment to me — it felt like family. I’ll always have love for the Malibu team and a lot of gratitude for everything they’ve done for me. Also give my compliments to the chefs

The people there are amazing, especially Ron And Allison, but I wouldn’t even limit to it to them. Everybody there is amazing. The rooms are comfortable and big. The food provided by professional chefs is amazing. Most of all the therapy were provided, saved my life!!

This place is not your ordinary rehab facility. They go beyond your standard rehabilitation and literally "Elevate" your life to a new level you didn't think was ever possible before. The program is structured in a way that you desire to learn more and give more into the healing process. If you take the necessary steps and put your heart into the program you will come out with a newfound appreciation for life and all that surrounds you. Please take this step, as my husband did, to embrace your life and get the healing you deserve and owe yourself.

I think this is a wonderful rehab, the facilities are beautiful, the food is amazing (I have never even had food this good at a restaurant), and above all they have really helped my husband. Obviously anyone that first goes to rehab isn’t happy with their situation but in just two short months he was a changed person. The work they have them do on themselves got him to finally see why drugs and alcohol are no way of life. He’s finally sober and actually enjoying it! This rehab helped him so much he actually chose to stay LONGER, and I am for once excited for what the future can bring.

My experience here throughout my last few months has completely changed my whole outlook on life. Before I got here I thought my life was going towards the end. My body was failing and mental state was terrible. Every part of the program touches on every aspect of the addicts life. Now that I have finished the program and started living daily life with all of the gains I got throughout the program, failure isn’t an option. I know I can truly be happy sober now. I finally gained back the love and support from my life partner and best friend I always knew was still there. My mom also believes in me again which is so important to me. The possibilities and happiness are endless now. Thank you Elevate.

To say All In Solutions of Cherry Hill, N.J. saved my life would be a GROSS UNDERSTATEMENT. As would be any attempt to express my gratitude to their staff with mere words. After 33 straight years of drug & alcohol abuse, I would have never imagined myself making it through even the 1st few days of a recovery program, much less become a man who swears by the life changing process that comes only by properly working a 12 step program. In fact, I'd have laughed at you if you tried to tell me that it could cure my life long ailment. God Bless the entire staff at A.I.S. for patiently taking taking their time to make sure that I actually not only got it right, but got it right this 1st time. It takes more than what is ethically & professionally required of you to have such a profound effect on someone like me. Much, much more. But each & every staff member regularly went well above & beyond their call of duty where my recovery is concerned. Thank you, ALL OF YOU & God Bless you. Please keep doing what you do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aetna Cover Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment?
Yes, most Aetna policies offer coverage for drug and alcohol rehab and are regulated by two federal laws: the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the 2010 Affordable Care Act.
However, there are exceptions to these laws, which is why you must verify your insurance coverage before beginning treatment. Benefits may be limited or require prior authorization and documentation.
Coverage typically includes a range of treatment options depending on your policy and medical needs. These services can include medical detox to manage withdrawal symptoms, residential or inpatient treatment, outpatient programs, medication assisted treatment, or aftercare and support services. Not all policies cover all types of these services.
Does Aetna Cover Suboxone & Methadone (MAT)?
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is a specific type of addiction treatment. It is often an outpatient treatment program that uses FDA approved medications to treat opioid and/or alcohol misuse alongside counseling and recovery treatment. Suboxone and Methadone are two of the most commonly prescribed medications for MAT. MAT is covered by most Aetna plans if medically necessary. Some may cover a generic form of Suboxone instead of the brand name, and you may need to cover co pays for the prescriptions.
Does Aetna Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Aetna’s behavioral health benefits generally include treatment for substance use disorders and mental health disorders. For those struggling with mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression, most Aetna medical plans provide resources and support. Resources include crisis support, preventive care, and treatment. Aetna members can visit the Aetna website or call the customer care number to find mental and behavioral health resources near them and learn which providers are in network and covered by their insurance plan.
Where Does Aetna Offer Coverage?
Aetna offers health insurance in every state of the U.S. and some international locations. While they offer all products in all 50 states and Washington D.C., the details, plan types, and network providers vary by state. Medicaid plans are limited to 16 states.
The availability and specifics depend on state partnerships and regulations. International coverage is provided for individuals and employers with members who live or work abroad. These plans access a global network of providers and facilities. They typically include coverage for emergency care, routine care, and other health services.
What Are Aetna Plans?
Aetna offers individual and family plans on four levels determined by the Affordable Care Act: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The metal levels are based on the level of coverage and costs.
Bronze plans typically have the lower premiums with higher out of pocket costs if you need care, while Platinum plans have the highest premiums with the lowest out of pocket costs for care. Aetna also offers high deductible health plans often paired with health savings accounts for those who want lower premiums and need to save up for the high deductible when care is needed.
Aetna offers Medicare Advantage plans, also called Medicare Part C. These plans coordinate care for Medicare Parts A and B and often offer additional benefits like vision, dental, and hearing.However, Advantage plans do require you to use the provider’s network for care, so be sure that your providers are included before choosing a plan.
For those with Original Medicare, Aetna offers Supplement Plans and Medicare Part D plans. Medicare Supplement Plans, called Medigap, help cover out of pocket costs like copayments and deductibles. Medicare Part D covers the cost of prescription medications, typically including medication assisted treatment for opioid addiction.
Medicaid plans are provided in 16 states, mostly on the East Coast, to help coordinate coverage for low-income individuals and families. These plans include comprehensive benefits and access to a wide network of providers. Benefits vary by state, but some level of mental health and substance use treatment will be covered in accordance with the Affordable Care Act.
Aetna offers several employer sponsored plans that include preferred provider organizations, health maintenance organizations, exclusive provider organizations, and point of service plans. Each has different rules that govern who you’re allowed to see, whether you need a referral to see a specialist, and whether out of network care is covered. If you have an Aetna plan through your employer, talk to your company’s benefits specialist to get all the details of your coverage.
Aetna’s specialty plans help cover dental, and vision services. Some plans also have a cash payout so you can handle expenses quickly. Each plan has different rules and offers various benefits. It’s important to verify your coverage before receiving care.
How to Verify Coverage With Aetna
Since benefits vary between policies, you must verify your coverage before beginning treatment. There are several ways to do this. For instance, when you purchase your plan, you receive documentation of the benefits for your policy.
Aetna maintains a member services phone number where you can call and ask questions about your coverage and limitations. You can also log in to your account online to look for in network providers or coverage information.
However, the easiest and often most efficient way is to work with the addiction treatment center. They can verify your coverage and answer questions about therapy. They can also do an initial assessment and help estimate your potential out of pocket costs.
What Kinds of Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Aetna Cover?
Residential rehab is one type of treatment that Aetna may cover based on your needs. It’s the most well known type of inpatient addiction treatment. Residential rehab pairs intensive exposure to therapy with a stable and sober living environment. It may be a good option if you need to make major changes to your lifestyle to support your recovery.
Another treatment Aetna may cover based on your needs is medical detox. Medical detox also has you staying overnight in a facility. It tends to be shorter than residential rehab, lasting three to ten days on average. The focus is on getting you through withdrawal safely.
In either of these settings you may receive medications to help you with or even prevent you from experiencing withdrawal. You may hear people refer to this as medication assisted treatment (MAT). Qualified clinicians may treat you with MAT in any inpatient or outpatient setting.
With any of these treatments, it’s important to match the intensity of the treatment to the severity of the disease. That’s why a clinician will usually evaluate your situation to determine what treatment your condition warrants. Aetna uses the information from these assessments to inform their decisions about medically needed coverage.
What Kinds of Outpatient Addiction Treatment Does Aetna Cover?
Depending on your treatment needs Aetna may cover services like partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment. These services have you spending time in treatment each day in a treatment center but going home at night. In a partial hospitalization program, you might need to be there all day for five days a week. In an intensive outpatient program you might be there for part of the day, two to three days a week. Either of these options can give you intensive support while you start to practice your new skills and mindsets.
The next step down from intensive outpatient treatment is standard outpatient. Aetna has many outpatient therapists in their network. In standard outpatient treatment you can expect to see an addiction counselor at regular intervals. Appointments can be weekly or monthly or you might agree on another schedule. You may also have appointments with someone to manage your medication if that’s appropriate for you.
MAT might be used together with any of these treatments or separately. Medications can help you manage cravings during treatment so you are able to focus on recovery and avoid relapse.
Again, a number of considerations go into determining what the right treatment is for you at the right time. As with inpatient, Aetna uses information about your clinical condition to inform their coverage decisions.
How Much Does Addiction Treatment Cost With Aetna?
This will vary widely based on what type of plan you have and the type of care you need. You can estimate your costs by knowing your plan’s deductible and copay or coinsurance amounts. You can also look at the out of pocket maximum.
Do take note that these figures might all be higher if you try to get treatment from outside Aetna’s provider network. Some Aetna plans may not cover out of network treatment at all.
How Long is Rehab When I Use Aetna Insurance?
The length of treatment varies from person to person. In general residential rehab can last from two weeks to three months. Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs also can last a few weeks to a few months. Standard outpatient and MAT can continue indefinitely. You should always check ahead with Aetna to verify your coverage for a specific program.
What’s important is that you fully complete your treatment plan. This will give you the highest chance of long term recovery and help you avoid having to go through rehab again in the future.
