Louisiana—the 18th state to be admitted to the United States—is home to 4,590,241 people.1,2 Located along the Gulf of Mexico, the Pelican State had a higher prevalence of reported past-year substance use disorder from 2017 to 2019 among those aged 12 and older.3 Roughly 8.3% of those in this age group, or roughly 318,000 people, reported past-year substance use disorder during that period—higher than both the regional average (6.6%) and the national average (7.4%) at that time.3 So, if you’re a Louisianan struggling with addiction, this statistic shows you’re not alone.
Many people enter a treatment program to overcome addiction. If you have a Humana health plan, you may be able to use your insurance to help cover the costs associated with drug or alcohol rehab. American Addiction Centers (AAC) has a team of admissions navigators available 24/7 who can explain your Humana coverage for addiction treatment in Louisiana.
