Does Cigna Cover Alcohol Addiction Screening or Testing?

Yes! Cigna alcohol rehab insurance benefits often include screening and testing measures, as these can be a valuable tool for your clinical team. The use of screeners and testing may begin during your first contact, or shortly thereafter. The continued use of these tools allows professionals to gauge your progress and symptoms as you move through your treatment program. 

Screening and testing measures come in many forms including questionnaires, screeners, structured interviews, projective tests, functional assessments, and specialized scales. Screeners and other related tools can target the symptoms you are experiencing, your level of functioning, and other areas that your clinical team will be interested in. If you have questions about the assessments or screeners being used during your treatment, we encourage you to ask questions! Some find that talking about their results, and what that means regarding their mental health provides a sense of clarity and validation for their experiences. 

Does Cigna Cover the Cost of AUD Treatment and Recovery?

Yes, Cigna provides coverage for alcohol abuse treatment coverage. This often includes detoxification programs, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, and counseling services. These programs tend to offer dual diagnosis and medication-assisted treatment options for those who need them. The specifics of coverage depend on your specific plan, so it is important to check the details of your specific policy.

Cigna’s insurance coverage meets the standards and expectations of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which ensures that individuals who have insurance can receive inpatient mental health care, and addiction treatment, and engage in psychotherapy. These are known as essential health services and can have a lasting impact on individuals who are living with various mental health concerns or difficulties.

Does Cigna Cover Medications Used to Manage AUD?

Yes, Cigna’s prescription drug coverage often includes medications that are commonly used in medication-assisted treatment for those who are struggling with alcohol use disorder. Medications are commonly a component of comprehensive care and can be included during the detoxification phase, and later stages of recovery to provide a continued source of support.  

• Disulfiram:: Disulfiram is a pill that can make an individual experience unpleasant symptoms when they consume alcohol. The thought behind this medication is that the symptoms it creates can cause an aversion to drinking, making it less appealing for those who have been unable to reduce or stop their drinking.  

• Acamprosate: Acamprosate is typically taken multiple times a day, and included in a comprehensive treatment plan. This medication can support those who are working to maintain abstinence in their recovery. It may help reduce your withdrawal symptoms and the frequency and intensity of cravings. 

• Naltrexone: Naltrexone can be used to treat alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder. This medication works by blocking the euphoric effects of alcohol, which may decrease an individual’s drinking behaviors. This medication is available as an oral pill or an intramuscular injection, more commonly used as a pill for those struggling with AUD. 

Can You Recover from Alcohol Addiction without Medication?

Yes, it is possible to recover from an addiction without the use of medications. You may be able to navigate your recovery with the support of behavioral therapies, counseling, support groups, and lifestyle changes. Medications should be thought of as a tool that can be used to support you in your recovery. 

Medications are not a cure for alcohol use disorder and are more effective when used with other therapeutic interventions and modalities. If you find that you have reservations or concerns about taking medications that could support you in your recovery, we encourage you to speak with your medical provider about your concerns to explore the beliefs or perspectives that are coming into play. You have the right to decline the use of medications in your recovery, which is why we recommend that you speak with your providers.
