About GEHA

GEHA, the Government Employees Health Association, is one of the largest carriers in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) program. It began in 1937 as a mutual aid association for railway postal clerks and today covers federal employees, retirees, and their families across the country. Because GEHA is a nationwide plan with a national provider network, your coverage works the same way in Florida as it does at home.

GEHA offers several medical plan options, and benefits differ between them. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, all of them cover mental health and substance use treatment on terms comparable to other medical care. Which plan you have determines your deductible and cost share, so it is the first thing we confirm.

How GEHA Coverage Works for Detox

Is detox covered?

GEHA plans generally cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including medically supervised detox, residential treatment, medication-assisted treatment, and individual, group, and family therapy.

Is authorization required?

Inpatient detox and residential treatment usually require prior authorization. Our admissions team submits the request, our clinical team provides the documentation, and we keep you updated until it is approved.

What will I pay?

Your cost depends on your plan’s deductible, copays, and coinsurance, and on whether Allure is in network for your plan. Every GEHA plan has an annual out-of-pocket maximum, and once you reach it, covered services are paid in full for the rest of the year. We go over the expected costs with you before admission so there are no surprises.

Treating Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

Many people who struggle with drugs or alcohol are also living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or another mental health condition. Treating one without the other rarely leads to lasting recovery: substance use often masks the underlying symptoms, and untreated symptoms raise the risk of relapse. GEHA plans cover integrated treatment for both.

At Allure, our medical team screens for co-occurring conditions during intake and coordinates dual diagnosis care so both are addressed at the same time.

Medical Detox at Allure

Every client is medically assessed on arrival and given an individualized plan for managing withdrawal. Depending on the substance and the severity of dependence, medications are used to ease symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, and clients are monitored around the clock by a team that specializes in addiction medicine. Individual and group therapy begin once you are medically stable.

Detox is the first step. Before you leave, our team works with you on what comes next, whether that is residential treatment at Allure or a program closer to home, and plans relapse prevention and ongoing medication management so there is no gap in care. Our alumni community is there after treatment too.
