Humana began its storied history of service not as an insurance provider but as a nursing home facility called Extendicare, which was launched in 1961 by David A. Jones Sr. and H. Wendell Cherry. By 1968, Extendicare had grown into one of the largest elder care provider networks in the country.
In the 1970s, the company transitioned from elder care to acute and general hospital care services. It was rechristened under the Humana brand in 1974. By the 1980s, Humana expanded its services once again to include managed care and health insurance coverage and by the 1990s, it sold its hospital interests. Today, Humana is one of the top health insurance providers in the US.

This place is amazing! Sobermans truly saved my life! I had been to 2 places before & unfortunately neither one helped in the long run. I was literally on the verge of destroying my entire life with an opioid addiction & don’t even remember the days before detox or the first few days in detox, it was that bad. So while I was in detox, I was on the verge of hopelessness sitting in regret & overwhelmed by past trauma when someone came to me and said, your only option at this point is Soberman’s. I had never heard of them before, but at this point I’m willing to try anything so, let’s get it going as soon as I leave detox. All I can say is this place is magical! From the first night until the last I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. For the first time in my life everything made sense & I felt safe because of Soberman’s way of doing things. The labyrinth has an energy like I’ve never felt before, it’s like everyone who had been there before left a little part of themselves to help those to come. The staff all have stories of their own & are some of the most beautiful human beings I’ve had the pleasure to be around. The Alumni are great & very supportive! I was fortunate enough while I was there to do 2 Alumni dinners, so I was able to meet a lot of them during the dinner. I’ve also had the pleasure of going to one dinner since I’ve been out which was fun. The Alumni are very supportive & always available, which is something I’ve never had before. A group you can always call on & they also have a weekly zoom call to check in too. Sobermans helped guide me to my recipe for success & I will forever be grateful! I’ve been Sober for 8 months now & have no desire to use, but if I do I now have the skills to deal with it in a healthy way. Thank You to everyone at Sobermans!

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.

The staff truly cares about their patients and provided care that met my needs. The whole program exceeded my expectations and I can't thank everyone enough for the impact they made on my life and mental health. Deciding to seek treatment was not an easy thing for me but I am so glad I chose Footprints to Recovery. It wasn't all just sitting around doing therapy all day and we got the chance to do yoga, art and music therapy, and also go outdoors with Adventure Recovery. If you are considering treatment I highly encourage you to invest in yourself and give Footprints a call!

Footprints was an absolutely stellar facility to go to after completing inpatient addiction treatment. The staff were all very patient and understanding during my biggest ups and downs during treatment, and I never felt any judgement even at my lowest points.
Recovery is such a serious rock to carry but the groups and providers helped me collect the tools necessary to be able to tackle this journey on my own.
The nursing team was incredibly helpful in finding me medications that are actually helping my mental health and addiction cravings. I've had more success in the three months I got to share with Footprints than the years I've worked with my primary care and therapist.
Andrew with case management is hilarious and hugely helpful with resources and managing work and life alongside treatment.
Anika is an incredible therapist and I am sad to leave her care, but know she will continue to do amazing things for other clients.
If you are struggling with any substance abuse, I highly recommend seeking help with Footprints. They will absolutely get you back on your feet.

I have been in the DARKEST place for so long. Symetria was my saving grace. My counselor Callie (my saving grace) showed me that I actually really do matter and gave me a sense of belonging for the FIRST time in my life! She truly cares and has helped me in so many ways that I can't thank her enough. If it weren't for her, I'm not sure where I'd be in life right now without her. Ms Callie, if you see this, thank you again. To all of the concerned mothers/fathers out there, I promise you, this is the best methadone clinic in the United States. Thank you for taking the time to read my comment, I promise I wouldn't steer you the wrong direction. <3 Please take into consideration coming to Symetria. I finally have hope.

My time at treehouse recovery changed my whole trajectory in life. It’s rare that anyone give themselves a chance to hit stop and spend 3 months dedicated to only growth and healing from the past. I will always look at treehouse as the pivotal point when I decided to do what I needed for myself. I can’t stress enough how amazing this program is. I have seen so many men come in different stages of spiritual decomposition and leave glowing and empowered with new purpose and strength. 100/10.

Tree House Recovery PDX saved my life. I hit a new rock bottom during the holidays. I was reluctant to going to a typical, 30-day, institutional rehab center like I did over the summer because that didn't work. But then I saw that Tree House was a three month program with a focus in physical exercise, writing, and learning to work as a team. My expectations weren't met -- they were exceeded. I recently graduated on April 3rd and am a better man now than I was before I started using and drinking. I've learned how to be empathetic, hold myself and others accountable, find gratitude in my daily life, lean on my teammates during times of struggle, and how to celebrate little and big wins in my life with healthy pride.
The staff is amazing too. Rob, Nevin, Doug, Bryan and Kevin are all great men who are now role models in my life. They challenged me, listened to me, and gave me advice and suggestions I have taken to help me soar.
If you're struggling, you don't have to do it alone. I would highly recommend this program for any man who is having trouble with addiction and needs to turn his life around.
Thank you, Tree House.

It can be a scary and painful process going through any program I suspect. But The Ridge staff and their support program made it a very compassionate, Informative, and a truly helpful process. The accommodations were excellent. From counseling through the course work and group work, the program Is a fine balance of healing, education and preparation. Every member of the staff from the cooks and the counselors to the doctors and administration, all were genuinely concerned with my overall well-being and recovery.
I highly recommend The Ridge for anyone seriously considering changing their future for the better.

There is alot more freedom here than other places. I think more personal counseling would be beneficial with trauma. No caffeine and no sugar took some getting used to but i got so healthy while being there, I felt great when I left! I had a medical emergency while in residential treatment and the input i got from Dr.Soto was completely wrong, i can count on one hand how many times i interacted her, she had no idea what she was talking about but the rest of the staff made up for that. Overall I had a great experience at the Ridge. I would recommend this to everyone. The staff is amazing and they genuinely care about what's going on in your life ❤️

The Plymouth House is a beautiful facility where all and I mean ALL the staff have your best interest at heart. I’m a chronic relapser who is tired of coming to treatment. The clinical team works hand in hand with recovered 12-Step staff to bring the clients closer to the truth in what keeps addiction rolling. I’m extremely optimistic for my future having graduated from Plymouth House. 10/10 - Would send my loved ones here if they suffered from the disease of addiction like I do.

The Plymouth House was a vital part in my recovery, through my time as a guest there in residential and PHP. I was able to build bonds that will last a lifetime and learn things about myself I didn’t know were possible or I was capable of. The staff gave me the tools I needed to find myself again and grow into the individual I want to be and continue to build on that in life in general. I am forever grateful for what the Plymouth House has given to me, my family and the rest of the people I care about in life, by helping me show up as the best version of myself I could ask for.

I am truly grateful for Springhill Recovery. Immediately I was made to feel at ease, safe & secure. I quickly realized that I was in competent, caring hands with all of the staff that I met.
I learned so much about myself here! I can see where I need to work on a few things and I now have some of the tools to do that, thanks to the amazing groups, clinicians, RS staff & case managers at Springhill.
I leave here confident in my sobriety & excited to continue my recovery program. I will seek connections with other people who are also in recovery because I’ve learned that absolutely nobody can do this alone!
Thank you Springhill Recovery for teaching me how to like myself again! I am forever grateful for the gift & privilege of my new life ahead of me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Humana Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
Most Humana health insurance plans cover substance abuse treatment. The amount of coverage depends on your specific plan, the treatment you choose, and whether the drug or alcohol rehab is in-network or out-of-network.
Treatment generally starts with a visit to the primary care physician who can then seek authorization to refer you to a substance use treatment provider. To learn more about your coverage and any out of pocket expenses, call the number on the back of your insurance card to speak with a Humana representative.
Plans vary, but coverage often includes treatment options such as medical detox, inpatient or residential treatment, and outpatient care. You may also have coverage for medication assisted treatment, which is helpful for opioid and alcohol misuse.
Does Humana Cover Suboxone & Methadone?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) uses FDA-approved medications along with other therapies to treat addiction. Humana insurance coverage for MAT prescriptions, such as Suboxone and methadone, depends on your specific plan. You may need to choose a MAT provider that’s within the plan’s network to get the coverage you need.
Does Humana Cover Other Mental Healthcare?
Mental and behavioral health coverage is available for most Humana members. Humana plans pull from a network of 65,000 mental and behavioral health professionals. Many of Humana’s mental and behavioral health services are provided by the company’s subsidiary, Humana Behavioral Health.
Most Humana plans cover behavioral and mental health services. This can be very helpful since many people who struggle with substance use issues also have mental health concerns. Having both of these co-occurring disorders treated in an integrated way is essential for long term recovery.
Keep in mind that mental health, behavioral health, and substance use treatment may require preauthorization or a referral from your primary doctor before they will be covered by insurance. Before you enroll in a program, be sure to contact your insurance provider to verify coverage.
What Are Humana Plans and Coverage Areas?
Humana offers lots of plan types. You can look at individual or family plans in the Marketplace. If you qualify you can get Medicare or Medicaid plans from Humana. They also offer useful supplemental plans like vision and dental.
You can buy the supplemental through the Marketplace in your state or your employer might offer them. Since vision and dental aren’t part of most health plans, it can be helpful to have this coverage.
Humana offers Medicare Advantage plans (Medicare Part C). If you have Original Medicare you can buy your Part D drug coverage, a Medicare supplement (Medigap) plan or a special needs plan through Humana.
They also work with the state and federal government to provide Medicaid plans referred to as Humana Healthy Horizons. Participants can enroll through their state’s marketplace or through their state’s Medicaid agency.
Every state has their own eligibility requirements for coverage. These include: income guidelines, qualified medical conditions, pregnancy and age. Services covered will depend on what state an individual resides.
Humana offers Medicare plans in 49 states Washington DC and Puerto Rico. Their Medicare prescription drug plans are available in all states and include Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico. Humana Medicaid is available in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Carolina.
What Types of Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Humana Cover?
Individuals requiring inpatient alcohol and substance use disorder treatment will need to meet medical necessity requirements. Covered services include medical detox, counseling services, and case management. Individuals should check with their insurance provider to determine coverage and what out of pocket expenses will be. Clients are often required to seek care at Humana participating facilities.
For individuals using the Humana Health Horizons (Medicaid) coverage differs from state to state. Verification of covered services is recommended and prior authorization may be required before services are initiated.
What Types of Outpatient Addiction Treatment Does Humana Cover?
When you attend a few hours of treatment a week but otherwise live at home that’s known as outpatient treatment. It could be an intensive program with more hours per week or a general one with fewer. You can also access aftercare services to stay on track outside of treatment. Outpatient rehab often includes individual and group counseling. Medication assisted treatment may be an option for those struggling with opioid or alcohol misuse.
For members with Humana Health Horizons covered services can differ between states and should be verified prior to seeking care. In many cases Humana will help individuals find participating facilities and providers for care.
How Much Does Addiction Treatment Cost With Humana?
Costs will depend on the type of Humana plan an individual participates in. It is important to check the benefits summary of your policy or contact a Humana representative to understand what services are covered and an estimated cost of out of pocket expenses. Many services will require prior authorization, medical necessity and Humana participating providers.
How to Verify Coverage With Humana
Individuals should check with their insurance provider by speaking with a care representative on the telephone or by logging into their online account to verify their coverage is active.
Through the online account an individual can check for in network providers and can utilize their care management professionals to assist in locating participating providers and facilities.
Additionally individuals can work with treatment centers to verify insurance plan participation and determine out of pocket expenses. It is important to have policy information available because coverage differs between Humana plans.
What to Do if Humana Won’t Cover the Full Cost of Rehab
Sometimes you’ll find that Humana covers some of the cost but not all of it when it comes to rehab. Other times the program you are interested in is not part of the network, so you have to pay out of pocket.
In a case like this, you can work with the treatment center to create a payment plan. Some centers also offer scholarships to those who need it. You can even apply for health credit such as CareCredit to pay the amount off over time. Finally you can find low cost or free treatment offered by nonprofits or your local community. Resources for these services can be found on SAMHSA website at SAMHSA.GOV.
What’s the First Step in Getting Addiction Treatment With Humana?
It is important for individuals to work with their health care providers to determine what is the best course for treatment to meet their unique needs. For those with insurance coverage many times prior authorization is required before obtaining care. For optimal coverage, you need to work with in network or participating facilities and providers.
Humana has resources on their website to aid in locating participating providers. Depending on what type of coverage an individual has they may provide case management services to help those with alcohol and substance use disorder locate facilities that accept Humana insurance.
For many individuals it is important to find programs that not only meet their treatment needs but recognize unique needs such as LGBTQ+, veterans issues, and spiritual/religious preferences. These should be considered when selecting a facility or provider.
Help in selecting appropriate services can be obtained by speaking with the facility or provider, researching different treatment centers, and by working with Humana case management to determine what will benefit you on their recovery journey.
By calling the helpline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses. There is no obligation to enter treatment.
Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider.
