We Work with Cigna Insurance

At The Duck House Recovery, we love to work with Cigna Insurance.  Cigna is a great partner in the field of addiction treatment because of its dedication to helping people recover from drug and alcohol addiction.  Our Drug and Alcohol Detox in Costa Mesa, California prides itself on providing high-quality, compassionate care to our clients and Cigna has supported us in our efforts. 

Cigna is an insurance provider that places an emphasis on its client’s health and mental well-being. Cigna has over 95 million clients worldwide.  Cigna covers a range of different addiction treatments including medical detox, outpatient programs, and inpatient rehab.  Cigna also provides insurance for various co-occurring mental health disorders like anxiety and depression.

The level of coverage that a patient receives from Cigna is determined by the particular plan that they subscribe to and the state where they live.  Most addiction treatment programs require pre-authorization from your doctor to make sure a alcohol or substance abuse disorder is present before recommending the proper course of treatment.

What Addiction Treatments Will Cigna Cover?

Depending on your individual insurance plan, Cigna will cover a range of different treatments to help you recover from alcoholism or drug addiction. 

Medical Detox

The first and most important aspect of addiction treatment is a medically supervised detox, also referred to as Acute Inpatient Substance and Drug Detoxification.  This ensures that the physical dependency on alcohol or drugs is removed from the patient.  It also makes sure that any complications that may occur due to the symptoms of drug and alcohol withdrawal are addressed immediately by a medical professional.  

Outpatient Addiction Treatment

Outpatient rehab is preferable for people who cannot completely step away from their responsibilities at work or in their personal life during addiction treatment.  People in outpatient programs will go home or to a sober living facility at night after their treatment has concluded. 

Outpatient care can be given at an addiction treatment center, a hospital, or a counseling center. These treatment programs can last up to a year and typically involve group and individual counseling sessions that take place from 3 to 5 times a week.

Inpatient Rehab

An inpatient, or residential addiction recovery program, is the highest level of care a person can get to treat their alcohol or substance use disorder.  During a stay at a 30 to 90-day inpatient rehab, a patient’s life will revolve completely around recovery.  From morning meditation to AA or similar 12-Step Meetings at night, the structured framework of these programs is designed to reboot a person’s behavior.  

For many people, this is a necessary step in order to remove themselves from a toxic pattern of behavior and a web of negative, triggering influences.  Inpatient rehab is also a good option for people suffering from co-occurring disorders, where addiction is coupled with a mental health disorder like anxiety, depression, or OCD.  An inpatient environment is beneficial when medications are being administered either to ween a person off of opioids or benzodiazepines.

What types of Addictions Does Cigna Cover?

Most Cigna plans that include addiction treatment will be able to provide coverage for any addiction that falls under the umbrella of a substance use disorder.  Our Medical Detox Center in Costa Mesa can help you overcome an addiction to any addictive substance, whether it be an illicit drug or a pharmaceutical medication.  Similarly, Cigna Insurance will cover treatment for a variety of different addictions.
