Get the Care You Need Covered by Your Insurance
SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) estimates that over 20 million adults need help overcoming substance abuse, but that very few actually receive treatment. Of those that don’t seek treatment, 37% cited a lack of insurance of funds to cover the cost of treatment. An additional 10% did have healthcare insurance, but it did not cover treatment for substance abuse.
Cigna healthcare does cover drug and alcohol detox programs, and through their partnership with Detox of South Florida, they will get you the care you need to overcome your addiction.

FAQ: Get Answers to Your Cigna Insurance Questions
Will my Cigna policy cover my detox?
The coverage varies and will depend on your personal circumstances. Factors that need to be taken into consideration include the level of coverage you have, and what prior treatment you have received. Typically, Cigna will cover a patient’s detox but will require that you receive treatment from a pre-approved vendor (of which Detox of South Florida is one). There may also be some costs that will not be covered.
Should I Talk to Cigna, or Ask Detox of South Florida to Deal With Them Directly?
This depends on your preference. Insurance companies have strict procedures in place that may be difficult to navigate first time around. Our customer care staff are trained to help you navigate some of the obstacles to receiving the treatment that you need and as such will deal with your insurance company on your behalf. They will be able to answer any questions that you might have about your policy quickly and in a way that is easy to understand.
What Does Detox Coverage Include?
The process is adapted for each individual depending on the person’s specific needs. A medically-supervised detox includes 24-hour access to a doctor that is specialized in the process of detoxification. The end goal of any detox program is to successfully rid the patient’s body of a physical dependency on a substance (usually drugs or alcohol).

If you still have a few more questions, take a look at our FAQ’s below:
What characteristics should I look for in a good detox Florida center?
Research studies on addiction treatment have shown that some alcohol and substance addiction treatment and follow-up procedures are more successful than others. At Detox of South Florida, we emphasize on using the best approaches in alcohol or drug detox.
What type of addiction treatment do you provide?
Our goal is to ensure that all our patients regain their physical and mental states of health. Our treatment is therefore tailored to address each patient’s unique conditions. The treatment involves a combination of detoxification procedures such as opiate detox, alcohol detox, and heroin detox, just to mention a few, with other intervention procedures such as group and individual therapy, relapse prevention education, after-care planning, and in-house completion programs aimed at ensuring long-term sobriety and prevention of relapses.
How long do the addiction treatment and rehabilitation take?
Every patient has his or her unique type and level of addiction which is why the treatment period will normally vary from one individual to another. While some patients go through a 30-day rehab program, others will require a 60-day or 90-day program to recover from alcohol or drug addiction. The time it takes to recover will depend on the assessment report provided by the assigned medical professional who evaluates your case.
What happens in the case of a relapse?
As the best rehab in Florida, we believe a relapse should not be viewed as a failure but rather as a sign to help you get back on track by making necessary adjustments to your treatment.
How much does the overall addiction treatment and rehabilitation cost?
Our rates generally depend on the services provided. The overall cost will be determined by factors such as professional treatment fees, facilities, food, and utilities.
Do you allow visitations?
Unlike other addiction treatment centers across the country, at Detox of South Florida, we take your treatment and recovery process very seriously. Your treatment against addiction is a comprehensive process that may be affected by unwarranted interruptions. All visitations must, therefore, be approved well in advance by the treating therapist. We do this to ensure that your safety, focus on recovery, and stability are maintained at all times. The only visitors allowed are significant members of your family and close friends.
