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.

I have been in and out of treatment for 15 years, and this is by far the best recovery center I have ever been to. The staff genuinely care about every client and their well-being. They aren’t just out for money or treating people like another number—they truly want to see you heal, grow, and succeed. I have felt supported, understood, and cared for throughout my time here. Recovery is not easy, but this center has given me hope and the tools I need to build a better life. I’m incredibly grateful for this place and would recommend it to anyone who is ready to make a change.

I would not be where I am today without the help of Recovery Unplugged. I had two 30 day visits with them back in 2019 before moving on to a 90 program in Arizona. Everyone was friendly and you felt like you actually mattered. The musical component of it all was life changing and is still a huge support in my life today. It's outside of the box recovery and if you are looking for a place to start, this is it. I'm coming on six years of sustained recovery and now hold a masters in divinity while thriving in Tucson. AZ. None of this would have been possible without Recovery Unplugged and I could not be more grateful for all they provided in early recovery.

The program and support is great, but once you finish no resources are provided. No follow-up with patients. They are all about profit. The providers can't even provide outside resources. This should be a warning sign they are out to make money.

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.

RCA and its facilitors were exceptional. Intake and discharge was streamlined and efficient. A variety of flexible groups and speakers were scheduled weekly. Educational classes regarding medications and planning for discharge are also available. The facility provides lesiure activities such as fishing, recovery walks, and a gym. Facility was well maintained and clean. A variety of meals are offered for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a night snack. Substitute protein options are also available. RCA will meet and exceed expectations and provide all one needs for a successful recovery.

My stay at RCA Bracebridge was truly life-changing. This was my first experience in rehab, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but it exceeded everything I could have imagined.
The groups were both educational and life-changing, providing valuable knowledge and tools that I can carry with me throughout my recovery. The staff were exceptionally supportive, caring, and informative. It was comforting to know that someone was always there whenever I needed help or support.
My therapist, Jessica V., is amazing, and I will never forget her. Mr. Dan, Mike H., Mrs. Jessie, and Mrs. Amber were also incredibly supportive and generously shared their knowledge and experience, which made a meaningful difference in my recovery.
The RSS staff were outstanding, and words cannot fully express my gratitude for everything they did. The kitchen staff, especially Eric, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. That support allowed us to focus on what mattered most—our recovery.
Mr. Tariq always listened and showed genuine care and compassion toward the clients. His kindness and willingness to be there for us meant a lot.
I will forever be grateful to RCA Bracebridge for helping save my life and giving me the coping skills and tools I need to continue recovering one day at a time. I am leaving with gratitude, hope, and a renewed commitment to my recovery. Thank you to everyone who played a part in this journey

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.

These people run a great place - referred a friend and they are doing great - some of the best people around. They really care. If you find yourself or a loved one in a tough position - Courtney and her team will go above and beyond. Addiction is a tough thing. It’s hard on everyone who is involved and if you have to go through it, that is the place you want on your side. 10 stars.

Detox can be a daunting and dangerous experience. I’m so glad I found Gallus Detox Phoenix. I felt safe and protected the entire time. The facility was impeccably clean and provided me with all the necessary medical, personal and nutritional needs. Most importantly, the staff, to include the physician, clinicians and administrators were knowledgeable, compassionate, kind, and confidential. Without hesitation, I can give Gallus
Phoenix, my highest recommendation.

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 ❤️

I was struggling with my alcohol use and going into treatment with NIRC changed my life! The staff, techs, facilitators and therapists are incredibly supportive and knowledgeable with many of them having real life experience giving them a place of empathy and advocacy to serve from. In-patient housing, outpatient PHP and IOP options allowed me a platform to move through early recovery at my own pace. The group therapy offerings allowed more personalized options for topics that applied to me individually. Individual therapy helped me to work through to the root issues underlying my addiction through self-directed mentoring, alternative methods and connections with medical and psychiatry professionals on-site. After a couple months, I successfully completed treatment and left NIRC feeling like I have a new lease on life. I was connected with so many community resources to continue my recovery journey and at nearly 4 months sober, I am a version of myself I haven't been connected with in years! I am a better wife and mother, but I also have found my purpose and become a student, a friend, a coach and a productive, self-confident and SOBER part of my community. I owe it to NIRC and I hope to, one day, give back to the organization that has given me a life I am proud of and excited to live every day! Thank you!!

Summit Wellness in Roswell gave me the structure and honesty I needed at a point when I really needed it. The clinical staff were the difference, masters-level therapists who actually knew what they were doing and treated me like a person, not a case file.

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.
