Your Insurance May Cover The Cost Of Detox and Rehab
Supporting Families Through Recovery
Aetna is one of the largest insurance providers in the country, with an estimated 36 million members nationwide. Aetna, a CVS Health® company, has made a name for itself as one of the most reliable insurance providers with coverage for healthcare basics and specialties.
At Tulip Hill Healthcare, we’re proud to partner with Aetna to help people reduce their financial burden and confidentially enroll in mental health, drug and alcohol treatment. We believe everyone deserves access to effective addiction treatment in TN and KY, which is what our accomplished staff at our multiple care centers offer.
Will Aetna Insurance Cover Addiction Rehab?
Aetna is one of many insurance providers with addiction coverage, including detox and outpatient services. According to Aetna, they do provide coverage for several addiction treatments, including opioid medication like Naloxone and Buprenorphine, through Medicaid and employer-based insurance.
The Affordable Care Act also requires all major insurance providers to cover mental health and substance abuse treatment, making it easier for individuals with Aetna insurance to receive the necessary care.
Additionally, Aetna offers a mental health provider and resources directory on their website, allowing members to easily find healthcare providers who specialize in addiction treatment. This directory includes therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and other specialists who can provide comprehensive care for those struggling with addiction.
In addition to coverage for traditional treatments like therapy and medication-assisted treatment, Aetna also covers alternative therapies such as acupuncture and yoga. These holistic approaches can be beneficial in conjunction with regular addiction treatment.
In short, yes, Aetna does cover addiction treatment. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, it’s important to seek help and know that there are resources available. Contact Aetna or check your insurance plan to see what specific coverage options are available for addiction treatment. Tulip Hill Healthcare is here to help you navigate the process and find the best treatment options for your specific needs and treatment goals.Â
Why Aetna Insurance Can Be a Key to Your Recovery
When you choose treatment at a Tulip Hill Healthcare facility, having Aetna insurance is a major advantage. Aetna is one of the leading healthcare providers in the United States, offering a wide range of coverage options for addiction treatment services. Aetna’s insurance plans make it easier for individuals to access the care they need without financial barriers.
Comprehensive Behavioral Health Coverage
Aetna’s insurance policies offer broad coverage for behavioral health services, including those for substance use disorder. This includes access to inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, detoxification, and medically-assisted treatment (MAT). Aetna’s commitment to behavioral health means that you can get the treatment you need without worrying about coverage gaps.
Personalized Treatment
One of the key benefits of having Aetna insurance is their focus on personalized care. Aetna’s 360 Behavioral Health program helps to ensure that members receive a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. The program involves case management, where an Aetna Care Advocate works directly with you to create a plan that fits your individual goals, preferences, and challenges.
This personalized approach not only increases the chances of successful treatment outcomes, but also ensures that every client is supported throughout their journey toward recovery. At Tulip Hill Healthcare, we work with Aetna’s case management system to guarantee a seamless experience for our clients, ensuring that every need is met at every stage of the recovery process.
Network of Trusted Providers
Aetna provides a large network of in-network treatment providers, making it easier for you to access high-quality care without having to worry about exorbitant out-of-pocket costs. Because each detox and rehab facility in the Tulip Hill Healthcare family is an in-network provider with Aetna, our clients can receive top-tier treatment services while minimizing their financial burden.
Is Rehab Worth the Cost?
The cost of drug and alcohol rehab can vary greatly depending on the type of program, length of stay, and location. It’s important to weigh the potential benefits against the financial investment when considering if rehab is worth it. While it may seem expensive upfront, the long-term benefits of recovery are priceless.
In addition to breaking free from addiction and improving overall physical and mental health, completing a rehab program can also lead to financial stability. Substance abuse often leads to job loss or difficulty maintaining employment, so investing in treatment now could potentially save money in the long run.
How Can I Go to Drug and Alcohol Rehab Without Insurance?
Even if you don’t have Aetna Insurance Coverage for Drug and Alcohol Rehab, don’t worry. There are still many ways you can get substance abuse treatment without insurance in TN and KY.Â
Medicaid
Medicaid, known as TennCare Medicaid in the Volunteer State, provides affordable or free health coverage to low-income families and individuals, including those in need of drug and alcohol rehab. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you can receive comprehensive substance abuse treatment services through TennCare Medicaid.
Medicare
For those over the age of 65 or with a disability, consider applying for Medicare. Medicare is a federal health insurance program that offers coverage for certain medical expenses, such as hospital stays, doctor visits, prescription drugs and more. It is divided into four parts: Part A (hospital insurance), Part B (medical insurance), Part C (Medicare Advantage plans) and Part D (prescription drug coverage).
Medicare can also provide coverage for substance abuse treatment services, including detoxification, counseling and inpatient rehabilitation. However, it’s important to note that there may be limitations and restrictions on the type and length of treatment covered by Medicare.
State-Funded Programs
Another option for those without insurance is state-funded drug and alcohol rehab programs. These programs are typically run by the state’s department of mental health or addiction services and offer affordable or no-cost treatment options for low-income individuals. However, keep in mind that there may be long waiting lists for these programs.
Sliding Scale Payment Plans
Many drug and alcohol rehab facilities offer sliding-scale payment plans, where the cost of treatment is based on your income level. Talk with an admissions team member at the rehab facility to see if this option is available and to determine if you qualify.
Scholarships or Grants
Some drug and alcohol rehab programs may offer scholarships or grants for individuals who cannot afford treatment. These opportunities are often based on financial need, but some may also consider other factors such as individual circumstances or merit. It’s worth researching different programs to see if they offer any type of assistance like this.
Drug and Alcohol Rehab Services Covered by Aetna
Comprehensive Detox
The recovery process often begins with detoxification, which is a process designed to help your body rid itself of harmful substances. This is a vital first step, because your mind cannot receive the lessons of recovery until free from the compulsion to drink and use.Â
At Tulip Hill Healthcare, we offer safe, effective detox programs tailored to your needs:
- Medically-supervised detox offers 24-hour, around-the-clock clinical supervision by a team of doctors, nurses, and addiction specialists. If appropriate, medications can be administered to alleviate withdrawal symptoms.
- Nonmedical detox utilizes both counseling and adopting lifestyle changes as preparation for an ongoing treatment program.
Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment
Once you successfully detox, you may transition to an outpatient program where you continue to receive therapy while living at home and maintaining your daily responsibilities.Â
At Tulip Hill Healthcare, we offer several levels of outpatient recovery, including Partial Hospitalization Program(PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and Outpatient Rehab (OP). These programs are designed for anyone who needs continued support as they reintegrate into their daily lives. This gives you flexible treatment options that fit into your work, school, and family life.

CALL TODAYÂ to find out more about how Aetna-approved dual diagnosis treatment at Tulip Hill Healthcare helps you regain not only your sobriety, but also your emotional health.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual-diagnosis treatment is an essential component of addiction treatment and recovery. Unfortunately, not all addiction treatment facilities offer dual-diagnosis treatment, which is why it’s important to seek out a facility that specializes in treating co-occurring disorders.
Dual diagnosis refers to the presence of both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder. These two conditions often go hand in hand and can greatly impact an individual’s overall well-being and recovery journey. Some common mental health disorders that co-occur with substance use disorders include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Bipolar disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Treating both the addiction and the underlying mental health issue is crucial for long-term recovery. Without addressing both issues simultaneously, there is a higher risk of relapse or ongoing struggles with mental health symptoms.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Mental health experts call the combination of anti-addiction medications and psychotherapy the “gold standard” of substance abuse treatment. This strategy is particularly effective because these medications ease drug cravings that lead to relapse. In some cases, they block the effects of drugs of abuse entirely.
Now that the person is no longer overwhelmed by irresistible drug cravings, they are more able to abstain from use, and they can focus on acquiring and applying the skills needed for successful recovery.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, MAT has multiple benefits:
- Improved patient survival
- Increased retention in treatment
- Decreased illicit opiate use and criminal activity among people with SUD
- Increases patients’ ability to find and keep a job
- Improved birth outcomes among pregnant women with SUD
Tulip Hill Healthcare uses MAT at all our facilities because the science tells us that it gives you the best chance to regain and maintain your long-term sobriety.
