If you’ve heard of Aetna you’re familiar with CVS Health Corp’s insurance arm. Aetna originally started in the 1800s as a life insurance company. Throughout its history there have been a lot of fun highlights.
For example in the 1920s they sponsored a women’s basketball team that won the first ever women’s basketball game at Madison Square Garden. In the 1960s the company wrote life insurance policies for the original seven astronauts — which was quite a risk to take. The company joined CVS in 2018 and today the company provides 22.1 million members with health insurance.

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!
My time with ICFR was life changing. Everyone was very helpful and understanding. From my initial phone call after finding there facility’s online to them getting ready to taking me home after my stay. The therapist, facilitators, techs, client care and medical staff were wonderful. Thank you!

The Indiana Center for Recovery in Bloomington, Indiana literally saved my life. A lot of people say treatment for drug abuse saved their life but when I walked into the treatment center on Dec 2, 2025 my blood pressure was at stroke levels and I had no idea. I had literally been walking around with hyper tension for several years and combined with my drug abuse I made bad decision after bad decision after bad decision. I thought I was going in to detox or to reset myself but I realized after a couple weeks that it was a life changing event. The nursing staff got me on high blood pressure meds to stabilize my health and the therapists and facilitators got me into recovery. By practicing meditation, yoga, therapy, group sharing, exercising and eating right I have regained not only my health but my crystal clear clarity. I am now in recovery for three weeks and have about another week to go in the program. Colin Troy and his staff was instrumental in getting me into the program and my therapist Meghan Miller has helped me tremendously along with all the staff at the recovery center and even with a week left I feel like I have a new lease on life. I used to say that I was built for this, in regards, to my drug abuse, but now I have flipped that saying into I am built for recovery. And it's all down to the Indiana Center for Recovery and their amazing staff and program. Highly recommend for those that are serious about their recovery. Wonderful compound, living conditions, with an amazing gym and recreation center. Staff is accommodating, thoughtful, and professional. Plus they use holistic practices like mediation, yoga, art and music therapy, and acupuncture to go along with the traditional therapy and twelve step program education, with the added addition of a Recovery Dharma leaning. After being here I can see why they are now rated number 1 nationally for treatment and recovery centers.

The Haven was great. I was there around 2 years ago so it’s been awhile but great community vibes. The people actually care. They have good treatments meaning my withdrawls were minimal.. overall a great experience. Looking for a new rehab now and wishing I could just come back to the haven but it’s so far away

When I was at my lowest, the haven was there to pick me back up. The facility is clean and well kept, the rooms are spacious and pristine, the food is amazing, the nurses and group facilitators are attentive and well knowledged. Shout outs to all the staff and nurses for helping me realize my life was messy and I had the support and tools to turn it around. Luke, Ashley, Lauren, Sally, Dr.B, Pastor C, Dr Pepper(😉jk), and any or all staff I forgot to mention because im so fried. THANK YOU HAVEN for helping me get my life back on track

I honestly can’t thank this place enough, it honestly saved my life. When I came to the haven I had literally gave up on life. I had overdosed when I got here and they got me to the hospital fast enough to save my life. The next 3 days were pure hell. The staff truly does care. Roni is amazing(has great style to) always had a smile on her face. Anthony and Shawn were my go to if I needed something done, they always made it happen. Ashley and Lauren were great always running around like crazy getting things done for people. Most of the BHT were cool. The night BHT’s were more down to earth. Shaggy is definitely one of my favorites when I wanted to give up he told me to keep pushing. I could keep ranting on and on about how good the place is but we would be here for hours. Thank you to the Haven for giving me my life back!

If it wasn't for Eastway I would have been dead by now. I've been with them for 15 years. But their housing program is okay. I also like the fact that there's a pharmacy right there inside. I've been using Eastway's Pharmacy since they opened up. I definitely like that your meds can be delivered to your front door IF you have No Way of getting to the Eastway building. IF you have (a) prescription(s) that needs to be filled the same day you go in for an appointment with a Doctor they will have it filled by the time you're done with your appointment. I will Always recommend Eastway to someone that needs mental health and proper medications. I like the staff that works there. Everyone is very nice to you and they usually have a smile on their face. I try to get a laugh out of one of them and it usually works. As long as Eastway has their doors open I will continue to go there. The staff is wonderful. I'm glad that I have a case manager for longer than two years. My case manager now (and has been for 4 solid years.) She goes above and beyond the call of duty. (She's been there for about 20 years). She helps me go grocery shopping and soon to do laundry up the road. I Pray everyday that I don't lose the case manager I have now. I have pleasant feelings for Eastway. IF you get the chance to be a client at Eastway, remember that getting the right medication can take some time. It took them close to 13 years of trying different medications to get the right regimen that works for ME. I also like the fact that there's a Bus Stop right out front of the building. 😎🤗🤓💜✌️🤙👌💟☮️. I hope you can enjoy the care and staff there. Everyone there is a happy, pleasant person. I LOVE EASTWAY!!! The ONLY way I'll go somewhere else is IF they close their doors. My mother told me about Eastway and when I started the "Journey" there I had a sense of good things to come my way. The rollercoaster of emotions that I was going through finally ended when I became a client at Eastway. At first I didn't like it there because of TWO case managers they Always had a funky attitude towards me and dismissed the fact that I'm there for Mental Health. I'm getting treatment for my Bipolar Disorder. Looking back I'm Glad that I got help from them. IF I didn't make the first appointment to go there, I HIGHLY DOUBT I would be alive right now making this post. Eastway is the one facility that I recommend EVERYONE to go to for Mental Health. In my opinion and experience, Eastway is the place to go get help. Thank you Eastway for your help and this "journey" I'm on with y'all.

This facility and The Haven Foundation has always been a stepping stone for me in kicking off my sobriety. The staff really care about you and truly want the best for you. One person in specific that stood out to me was Angel the alumni coordinator!
What makes him truly special is that the support doesn’t end when treatment does. He stays in touch, checks in, and follows you through every step of your recovery journey. Whether it’s a tough moment or a big milestone, he’s always the first one to reach out, cheer you on, or help guide you back on track.
His commitment to the alumni community is unmatched. You can feel that he cares , not just during your time in treatment, but long after you leave. Having someone like him in your corner makes all the difference.
If every treatment center had an alumni coordinator like him, recovery would feel a lot less lonely. I’m truly grateful for everything he does.

I have been to a few rehabs and Detox‘s only one different Detox, but The Haven Detox Center has gone above and beyond from the intake process all the way through to the BHT‘s to the janitorial staff the medical staff The meal prep kitchen, chef staff has created such a dynamic environment in under a year of their first year anniversary that has Made the people that are clients are patients full of hope, spirit morale, and just genuinely compassionate empathetic and loving towards each other naturally because of the environment that this staff has provided !!!!! And on a sidenote, I would definitely have to give a huge shout out to Marcus the Detox supervisor that guy is not only leading by example, but he’s leading from the front and that’s how you run up company enterprise any type of business transactional environment that’s the type of leadership you look for someone to willing to lead from the front and lead by example !!!
As a peer support member and a mental health coordinator, Indiana Center for Recovery has been a great resource for our members. Being able to handle dual diagnoses, makes ICR the place to call when help is needed.

Indiana Center for Recovery (ICFR) is an outstanding inpatient addiction treatment facility and a trusted partner we work with regularly. Their team is professional, compassionate, and truly committed to helping people find lasting recovery. They are incredibly easy to collaborate with and very responsive.
Nick Gore, in particular, goes above and beyond in every sense. His passion for this work is evident in everything he does. He genuinely cares about the people he serves and consistently takes extra steps to ensure individuals and families feel supported, informed, and hopeful. It’s clear this isn’t just a job for him, it’s a calling.
We are grateful for the partnership with Indiana Center for Recovery and for the integrity, heart, and excellence they bring to the recovery community.

As a union representative for a Local Union, Indiana Center for Recovery is a trusted resource we rely on when our members are in need of support.
Nick Gore has been excellent to work with. He communicates clearly with our Union Members Assistance Committee, is always responsive, and shows up when we need him. He treats our members with respect and understands how important it is to handle these situations the right way.
It’s a pleasure working with Nick, and I truly appreciate everything he does for our union and our members. I would highly recommend Indiana Center for Recovery to anyone who is in need.
I, like all, was at ICFR at the worst time of my life. I had several doctor appts that I needed to make when I went in. The travel was accommodated for me to be able to be taken to so I didn't miss them and that was one of my biggest concerns. When I had a major issue, Nick Gore (regional VP)was ON IT quickly to guide me thru it. The program was a vital step in saving my life and here I am almost 2 yrs sober now. Thankful for this facility!

Thank you client care, the techs, the nursing staff, the social workers etc. I will never forget you and the wonderful friends I have made. I now have a strong network and for that I am thankful. Much love and appreciation to all!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does CVS Health Corp Cover Drug Rehab?
Through Aetna, CVS offers health coverage to millions of Americans. But if you’re struggling with substance use will the insurance help pay for rehab?
Most Aetna policies pay at least some of the cost of rehab treatment. That’s because a law passed in 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), requires it for most plans. The law lists 10 services that are considered essential health benefits, and addiction treatment and mental healthcare are on the list. However, the law has some exceptions, so be sure to get the full details of your plan.
What types of rehab do they cover? Your insurance plan will have its own details, but in general they will focus on covering the type of addiction treatment your doctor recommends in your care plan. This could include inpatient or outpatient rehab.
Don’t forget that every insurance plan is different. Some plans have a big provider network, while others are smaller. Some plans will pay some of the cost if you use providers outside the network, and others won’t. Make sure you talk to the insurance company to get the specifics you need to get started with a great rehab.
What Types of Insurance Are Offered by CVS Health Corp?
The CVS health insurance company, Aetna, offers a wide variety of plans. You can get individual or family insurance through the ACA Marketplace in 21 different states. Or you might have Aetna through your employer. They also offer plans for students and insurance that covers you when you travel internationally.
If you qualify, you might have a Medicare Advantage plan through Aetna or have Medicaid through the company.
Most of these plans should have at least some level of coverage for drug rehab. You may have to pay some out of pocket costs, like a deductible or copayment. A deductible is an amount you pay before your coverage begins. For example, you might have to pay $1,000 before the insurance coverage kicks in. A copayment is an amount you pay for each service, and the insurance pays the rest.
Be sure to talk to the insurance company to get the details for your plan. It’s important to know what to expect.
What Types of Inpatient Rehab Does CVS Health Cover?
For those needing inpatient treatment, many CVS Health/Aetna plans cover options like inpatient detox and residential care. Their Aetna 360 behavioral health program will work with plan members and their healthcare providers to develop a treatment plan to support the individual’s path to recovery. This includes a 24/7 toll free call line where members can speak with a care advocate to help in locating participating providers and facilities and discuss treatment options.
For those who need it medically supervised detox can be done in an inpatient hospital setting or residential rehab facility. During medical detox individuals with alcohol and substance use disorder receive close medical supervision from qualified professionals and may receive FDA approved medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent potentially serious health complications. This type of treatment is especially beneficial for those with serious addictions especially when the addiction is to alcohol or barbiturates and/or opiates. Detox can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks with the average completion time of 5 to 14 days. After completion of medical detox you will typically enter inpatient rehab or outpatient treatment depending on your needs.
Inpatient or residential rehab centers include individual and group therapy in a structured setting with 24/7 support. In some programs you can continue with a longer term medication assisted treatment (MAT) depending on your unique needs. Many inpatient programs also use other therapy methods such as music and art therapy along with holistic treatment options such as massage and yoga.
Coverage differs between plans so it is important for members to work with their insurance provider to determine whether a referral or prior authorization is required before starting treatment. Additionally it’s important to know what out of pocket costs to expect.
What Types of Outpatient Addiction Treatment Does CVS Health Corp Cover?
Outpatient alcohol and substance use disorder treatment is covered by CVS Health/Aetna. These services include medication assisted treatment and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) along with intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and peer support services.
Medication assisted treatment has been proven to decrease relapse rates and cravings that can lead to overdose deaths. For some individuals the use of FDA approved medications to support the recovery process is a short term need. For others the use of MAT is needed for weeks or months or even years. It is important to remember that each individual has their own unique needs in their sobriety journey and that each treatment plan is created to meet those specific needs.
CVS/Aetna has partnered with MAP Health Management to offer peer support as a covered benefit. This program benefits people in their recovery journey through telephonic or video chat for up to one year after discharge from a treatment program. These peer support professionals can share knowledge about the recovery process and teach practical recovery techniques. Peer support programs have been shown to be an important part of post treatment care and can decrease relapse rates and support long term recovery.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)is a full day program that’s similar to residential care except you don’t live at the facility — you go home at night.
In deciding if a PHP is right for you The American Society of Addiction Medicine suggests that you and your healthcare provider consider several factors including the severity of the substance use disorder and your overall physical health. Your doctor will also consider if there is a strong support system available and how great the risk of relapse may be along with your willingness for change before choosing this type of treatment.
The goal of a PHP is to help with sustained recovery and prevent relapse by helping individuals improve coping skills and develop a relapse prevention plan while putting together a community support system.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is often the next step in recovery once residential or PHP treatment is completed. Understanding that early recovery can be difficult an IOP offers individuals intensive treatment for nine or more hours per week and a structured plan for recovery. You might also be able to receive MAT during treatment.
The goal of IOP is to help individuals prevent relapse and develop coping strategies and behavioral change along with establishing or re establishing support systems. Individuals participate in individual counseling and group therapy sessions and may include vocational training and case management services.
You should check with their insurance provider to determine if a referral or prior authorization is needed before starting treatment. Some insurance plans require that deductibles be met before services are covered and you may have other out of pocket expenses.
Does CVS Health Corp Cover Methadone & Suboxone (MAT)?
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is used during medical detox and for some individuals it is appropriate for longer term treatment. MAT is generally used for those who struggle with opioid or alcohol use.
MAT uses FDA approved medications combined with other therapies to treat substance use disorders. These medications may include naltrexone or methadone or buprenorphine. MAT programs generally include counseling and individual and group therapy in addition to medication maintenance. Keep in mind you may need a referral to a MAT program to get insurance coverage, and your doctor might need to preauthorize the care with the insurance company before you begin.
CVS Health plans may cover expenses for any prescription medications that are required for your addiction treatment including MAT. The specific plan determines how much you’ll have to pay out of pocket.
As with all addiction treatment it’s important to reach out to the insurance company to verify your coverage before you begin the program. You may need a referral or preauthorization depending on your plan.
Does CVS Health Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Services for mental health care are covered by most CVS Health insurance plans. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) these services are part of the 10 required essential health benefits. However not all plans are subject to the ACA so it’s important to verify your coverage before you start treatment.
A co occuring disorder refers to situations where an individual has alcohol or substance use disorder while also having one or more other mental health conditions. For example if you struggle with substance use and also have bi-polar disorder or anxiety or depression that would be a co occurring disorder.
As with all health services coverage differs between plans. Be sure to check with your insurance provider to determine if a referral or prior authorization is required. You’ll want to look into your out of pocket costs as well.
Can I Travel Out of State for Treatment With CVS Health Corp?
Out of state treatment may be covered for individuals with CVS Health/Aetna insurance but it depends on your plan. Some plans require you to stay within the provider network and that is unlikely to extend beyond your state.
Some plans do allow out of network coverage but you’ll pay far more out of pocket. If possible it’s best to find a high quality in network provider to maximize your insurance and minimize your personal costs.
