Aetna Insurance Coverage for Addiction and Mental Health Treatment at California Recovery Center
When you’re ready to take the first step toward recovery, understanding how your insurance works can be overwhelming. At California Recovery Center, we want to make the process as smooth as possible, especially if you’re covered under Aetna insurance. Aetna is one of the nation’s leading health insurance providers and offers broad behavioral health coverage that can significantly reduce the financial burden of addiction or mental health treatment.
Whether you’re looking for detox, inpatient rehab, or outpatient therapy, we work directly with Aetna to make sure your treatment plan is covered and aligned with your personal recovery goals.
What Addiction and Mental Health Services Does Aetna Cover?
Aetna provides mental health and substance use treatment coverage as part of its behavioral health benefits. While the specifics of each plan may vary, most Aetna policies cover the following:
- Medical detoxification: Safe and supervised withdrawal management
- Residential treatment: 24/7 care in a structured environment
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): Intensive daytime treatment without overnight stays
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): Structured support several days a week while living at home
- Dual diagnosis treatment: Care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
- Individual and group therapy: Evidence-based talk therapy and peer support
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Medications that support long-term recovery and reduce cravings
At CRC, we tailor each client’s care plan based on both their clinical needs and their Aetna coverage so that treatment is both effective and financially manageable.

Why Aetna Coverage Matters in California
Substance use and mental health issues are a growing concern in California, and Aetna’s coverage plays a crucial role in expanding access to treatment. Consider the following:
- Over 2.7 million Californians live with a substance use disorder, but only 1 in 10 receive any form of treatment.
- More than 5.5 million adults in California report experiencing a mental health condition.
- Nearly 1 in 3 young adults (ages 18–25) in the state suffer from either a substance use disorder, a mental illness, or both.
- Cost remains a major barrier—over 1.5 million adults in California have reported not seeking care because they couldn’t afford it.
- Despite the need, treatment deserts still exist in many counties, leaving insured individuals unsure of where to turn for help.
That’s why having an insurance provider like Aetna can make all the difference. Together, we help bridge the gap between those who need care and those who receive it.
