Aetna Rhode Island: Rehabs in RI that Take Aetna Insurance
Rhode Island might be most famously known for being the last of the 13 colonies to join the Union; in addition, the state was the first target of British troops that came to put an end to the rebellion when the U.S. declared independence.1
Aside from its long history, Rhode Island also has a population of people who struggle with substance misuse and addiction. In 2020, there was a significant increase in deaths from overdose, with 20% of cases being due to prescription drug misuse and 72% to illicit drug use.2 In particular, fentanyl overdoses are increasing, with 70% of overdose deaths involving fentanyl.2
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that all long-term health insurance plans include coverage for 10 essential benefits, which includes mental health and substance use treatment.3 That means that, depending on your Aetna plan type, you should be able to get at least some help paying for addiction treatment.
