Cigna Substance Use Centers of Excellence

What is Cigna’s Substance Use Centers of Excellence Program?

When you or a loved one is ready to seek treatment for a substance use disorder, you want not only a facility that provides high-quality care but also one that’s properly accredited and sanctioned by as many third parties as possible. The Cigna Substance Use Centers of Excellence Program offers an additional assurance that the facility provides quality, cost-effective care.

To make Cigna’s list of Substance Use Centers of Excellence, facilities must:¹

• Offer inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs).
• Be cost effective as determined by Cigna.
• Meet annual admission and re-admission standards.

Whether or not you have Cigna insurance, this designation offers additional third-party validation, which can help you to make better-informed decisions when searching for a treatment facility.
