The Recovery Village Columbus works with Aetna to help eligible members across Ohio access comprehensive addiction treatment and mental health services.

Substance use disorders continue to affect individuals and families throughout Ohio, often creating serious health, emotional and social consequences. Many people delay seeking help because they are unsure whether treatment is covered by insurance or affordable. When insurance benefits can be used, professional treatment often becomes more accessible and less overwhelming.

If you are covered by Aetna, your insurance plan may help cover treatment for alcohol or drug addiction, as well as co-occurring mental health conditions. Understanding how your Aetna benefits work can make it easier to take the first step toward recovery with greater confidence.

Coverage Can Make a Difference

Cost concerns are one of the most common reasons people hesitate to seek addiction treatment. Because addiction is recognized as a medical condition, many insurance plans, including Aetna, provide coverage for substance use disorder treatment when medical necessity criteria are met.

Using insurance benefits can significantly reduce the financial burden of care. The Recovery Village Columbus works with Aetna members to help verify benefits and determine whether treatment may be covered under their specific plan. In many cases, using in-network coverage allows insurance providers to cover a greater portion of treatment costs compared to out-of-network services.

Aetna coverage can vary depending on your plan type and policy details. Factors such as deductibles, copays, coinsurance and prior authorization requirements may apply. Some plans may also have guidelines related to approved levels of care, length of stay or clinical documentation. Verifying your benefits ahead of time can help clarify what services are covered and what costs to expect.

Even when insurance covers part of treatment, some out-of-pocket expenses may still apply. These costs are typically far lower than paying privately for treatment and can make professional care more attainable. For individuals without active insurance coverage, private pay options may also be available.

To learn more about your Aetna benefits, you can contact Aetna member services directly, review your plan documents or reach out to The Recovery Village Columbus for a confidential insurance verification. Our admissions team can help explain your coverage and guide you through the next steps.

If you are helping a loved one explore treatment options, insurance questions are a natural part of the process. Having the insurance card available, along with the member ID and plan information, can help streamline verification. Our team is available to support individuals and families throughout this stage.

Treatment Designed for Life-Long Recovery

The Recovery Village Columbus is a premier treatment facility centrally located in Groveport, Ohio. Our campus serves individuals from across Ohio and surrounding regions, offering a full continuum of evidence-based treatment programs designed to support recovery at every stage.

Because insurance coverage can differ by level of care, understanding how your Aetna benefits apply can help you plan an effective treatment path. Some individuals may begin treatment with medical detox to safely manage withdrawal symptoms, followed by inpatient care for structured support. Others may enter treatment at a partial hospitalization or outpatient level depending on clinical recommendations and coverage guidelines.

Each client works with a multidisciplinary treatment team that may include physicians, licensed therapists, nurses and case managers. Together, they develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses substance use and contributing factors such as stress, trauma or mental health concerns. When appropriate, treatment may also include care for co-occurring mental health conditions.

Long-term recovery extends beyond the initial phase of treatment. Aftercare planning is a core part of the process and may include continued therapy, outpatient services, support group involvement and referrals to community resources. The goal is to help clients leave treatment with a clear plan and ongoing support.

Navigating insurance coverage while dealing with addiction can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone.
