What is Aetna Insurance?
Aetna is one of the United State’s most trusted health insurance providers, serving millions of Americans through employer-sponsored plans, individual marketplace policies, and government programs including Medicare and Medicaid.
Dating back to 1853, Aetna has established itself as a leader in recognizing the critical importance of mental health care, offering robust behavioral health benefits that reflect modern understanding of psychological wellness.
As part of the CVS Health family, Aetna continues to expand its network of qualified mental health providers and enhance coverage options, making quality residential treatment more accessible and affordable for individuals seeking comprehensive care.

Our Residential Treatment Programs That Work With Aetna
Kingston Wellness Retreat specializes exclusively in residential mental health treatment in Georgia, providing immersive, evidence-based care that Aetna recognizes as medically necessary for individuals requiring intensive therapeutic intervention.
Our residential programs offer the structured, supportive environment essential for deep healing and lasting recovery from complex mental disorders.
Our comprehensive residential mental health treatment program addresses a wide spectrum of conditions including mood disorders, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders through individualized therapy, group sessions, and holistic wellness practices.
This program typically spans 30 to 60 days, allowing sufficient time for stabilization, skill development, and sustainable recovery planning. The residential setting provides 24/7 clinical support, removing external stressors and distractions that often impede healing in outpatient settings.
For individuals facing the complex challenge of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, our dual diagnosis treatment provides specialized, integrated care that addresses both conditions simultaneously. This approach recognizes that treating one condition while ignoring the other often leads to incomplete recovery and higher relapse rates. Our dual diagnosis program combines psychiatric care with evidence-based addiction recovery methodologies, all within the safety and support of our residential environment.
How Much Will My Out-of-Pocket Costs Be?
Understanding your financial responsibility for residential mental health treatment through Aetna requires examining several components of your specific insurance plan. Unlike standard outpatient mental health visits that may have simple copay structures, residential treatment typically falls under your plan’s major medical benefits, which means your costs will be determined by deductibles, coinsurance percentages, and out-of-pocket maximums.
Our financial counselors work closely with each resident and their families to develop payment plans and explore all available options for managing out-of-pocket costs, ensuring that financial concerns don’t become barriers to receiving necessary care.
How Long Will Aetna Cover Mental Health Treatment For?
Aetna’s coverage duration for residential mental health treatment is governed by medical necessity rather than arbitrary time limits, thanks to federal mental health parity legislation that ensures equal treatment of mental health and medical conditions. This means your coverage continues as long as our clinical team can demonstrate that residential treatment remains clinically appropriate and necessary for your recovery.
The coverage process typically begins with initial authorization for residential treatment, usually spanning 7 to 14 days while our clinical team conducts comprehensive assessments and develops your individualized treatment plan. During this period, our psychiatrists, therapists, and medical professionals gather detailed information about your mental health history, current symptoms, and treatment needs to establish a clear clinical rationale for continued residential care.
Continued stay reviews occur regularly throughout your treatment, with our clinical team providing detailed progress reports to Aetna that demonstrate ongoing medical necessity for residential treatment.
As you progress through treatment, our team works collaboratively with Aetna to plan your transition to lower levels of care when clinically appropriate.
This step-down planning often includes coverage for intensive outpatient programs, partial hospitalization, or intensive outpatient programming, ensuring continuity of care as you move through different phases of recovery.
Types of Therapies Aetna Covers
Aetna’s comprehensive mental health coverage typically includes the full spectrum of evidence-based therapeutic interventions offered at Kingston Wellness Retreat.
Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy forms the cornerstone of residential treatment, with Aetna covering one-on-one sessions between residents and licensed therapists utilizing proven approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy.
Group Therapy
Group therapy receives coverage under most Aetna plans. Our group therapy program includes process groups where residents explore interpersonal dynamics and relationship patterns, skills-based groups that teach specific coping strategies and wellness techniques, and psychoeducational sessions that provide important information about mental health conditions, medication management, and recovery strategies.
Family Therapy
Our family therapy program utilizes systemic approaches that address family dynamics, communication patterns, and relationship healing, often including multiple family members in treatment sessions both in-person and through telehealth technology.
Psychiatry
Psychiatric services including medication evaluation, management, and monitoring by board-certified psychiatrists represent essential covered services under Aetna mental health benefits. Our psychiatric care includes comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, medication trials and adjustments, and regular monitoring sessions that ensure optimal medication management throughout the residential treatment process.
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy includes yoga therapy, meditation instruction, and somatic experiencing, addressing the connection between mental health and physical wellbeing.
