Review covered treatment options
Cigna plans typically cover multiple levels of care based on medical necessity. Below is an overview of core services you may access when you are in-network.
Detoxification
Medical detox provides 24-hour monitoring to manage withdrawal safely. Cigna covers inpatient detox when you meet criteria such as moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms or a history of complications [1]. You can learn more about covered detox services on our page for drug detox covered by cigna or see details on alcohol detox cigna insurance accepted.
Residential rehabilitation
Once you complete detox, Cigna may authorize a stay in a residential rehab program if you have ongoing substance use or high relapse risk without 24-hour care. These programs combine individual therapy, group sessions and holistic support. Cigna tends to approve residential blocks in 7- or 14-day increments, with reviews for continued necessity.
Outpatient programs
If you have a stable home environment and mild withdrawal risk, outpatient care offers flexibility. Covered services include:
- Standard outpatient therapy
- Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs)
- Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)
Cigna covers these levels when deemed medically necessary [2]. For specifics on your plan, visit our guide to outpatient rehab cigna insurance.
Medication-assisted treatment
Cigna strongly supports medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Commonly covered medications include buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone, often with prior authorization requirements to confirm medical necessity.
