You’re searching for drug rehab covered by Cigna insurance, and you deserve clarity on your options. Whether you need medically supervised detox, residential treatment, or ongoing outpatient support, Cigna’s behavioral health benefits can ease your financial burden. At The Hope House, we work directly with Cigna to help you access comprehensive care—including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with Suboxone, and individual or group therapy—while minimizing out-of-pocket costs. In this guide, you’ll learn how Cigna coverage works, compare levels of care, and discover why The Hope House stands out as an in-network provider ready to support your recovery journey.
Understand Cigna coverage
Navigating insurance details can feel overwhelming. Understanding what Cigna covers for substance use treatment sets the stage for choosing the right program.
Coverage for substance use treatment
Cigna insurance plans typically cover a continuum of care for substance use disorders, from basic outpatient therapy to medically managed inpatient treatment. According to American Addiction Centers, some policies may cover all or part of:
- Inpatient detox and residential rehab
- Outpatient counseling and support groups
- Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs)
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
Coverage varies by plan type and location, so it’s essential to verify your specific benefits.
Coverage for co-occurring conditions
Many Cigna plans extend benefits to mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder as part of a comprehensive treatment package. This integrated approach ensures that you can receive therapy for both addiction and underlying mental health issues without switching providers.
Medication and prescriptions
Cigna may cover medications used during and after treatment, including Suboxone, naltrexone, and other FDA-approved therapies for opioid and alcohol use disorders. By including prescription benefits, you can maintain continuity of care from detox through long-term recovery [1].
Network requirements
To maximize your benefits and reduce out-of-pocket expenses, it’s important to choose an in-network facility. The Hope House is contracted with Cigna as a preferred provider, which means:
- Lower copays and coinsurance
- Reduced deductibles
- Streamlined authorization and billing

Explore levels of care
Cigna’s coverage supports a range of programs designed to match your clinical needs and personal circumstances. The Hope House offers every level of care, so you can transition smoothly as you progress in recovery.
Residential detox and inpatient care
During medically supervised detox, you’ll live on-site under 24/7 medical oversight. In addition to managing withdrawal symptoms safely, you’ll engage in evidence-based therapies and participate in:
- Medical assessments and vital-sign monitoring
- Individual counseling for crisis stabilization
- Group sessions focused on coping strategies
Your stay may range from 5 to 14 days, depending on the severity of withdrawal and medical necessity guidelines.
Partial hospitalization programs
A PHP is a day program that provides intensive treatment without an overnight stay. You’ll attend clinical services for six to eight hours daily, five days a week. Common components include:
- Structured group therapy
- Individual counseling sessions
- Psychiatric evaluations and medication management
- Creative therapies (art, music, mindfulness)
PHP bridges the gap between inpatient care and less intensive outpatient services.
Intensive outpatient programs
IOPs offer a flexible schedule, meeting three to five times weekly for three to four hours per session. You’ll benefit from:
- Group therapy for peer support
- Skill-building workshops on relapse prevention
- Family education sessions
- Coordination with your work or school schedule
Outpatient therapy and support
Once stabilized, you can continue treatment on an outpatient basis. Options include:
- Weekly individual counseling
- Support groups like 12-step meetings
- Aftercare planning and alumni groups
Outpatient care keeps you connected to support while you reintegrate into daily life.
Medication-assisted treatment
MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling to enhance recovery outcomes. At The Hope House, we offer Suboxone programs that:
- Reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms
- Are tailored to your dosage and taper schedule
- Include coordination with prescribers and pharmacists
MAT may extend into outpatient services to maintain long-term stability.
Compare out-of-pocket costs
Insurance benefits differ by plan tier. Understanding typical cost-sharing structures helps you plan for any remaining expenses.
Example plan tiers
Cigna plans range from bronze to platinum. Generally:
- Bronze plans feature lower premiums but higher deductibles and coinsurance
- Silver plans balance premiums and out-of-pocket costs
- Gold and platinum plans carry higher premiums with lower deductibles and coinsurance
Your level of care, facility rates, and plan tier all influence your final costs.
Coverage comparison table
| Level of care | Bronze plan (approximate) | Gold plan (approximate) |
|---|---|---|
| Inpatient detox and rehab | 50% coinsurance after deductible | 20% coinsurance after deductible |
| Partial hospitalization (PHP) | 40% coinsurance after deductible | 15% coinsurance after deductible |
| Intensive outpatient (IOP) | 30% coinsurance after deductible | 10% coinsurance after deductible |
| Outpatient therapy and support | $40–$60 copay per session | $15–$30 copay per session |
| Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) | 20–30% coinsurance | 5–15% coinsurance |
These figures are illustrative. Check your plan documents for exact numbers.
By selecting an in-network provider, you’ll pay lower coinsurance rates and enjoy simplified billing.
