GEHA COVERED DRUG REHAB PROGRAMS
Our Residential Treatment Programs provide comprehensive and continuous support for individuals struggling with substance abuse. Our method integrates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with holistic recovery approaches such as detoxification, counseling, mindfulness, yoga, and nutritional education. We aim to help individuals overcome the underlying causes of addiction and provide them with the necessary skills to achieve lasting recovery and prevent relapse.
Our Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) for substance abuse provide a structured and comprehensive route toward recovery. Available five days a week for six hours daily, our PHP features intensive daytime care, including therapy, group meetings, and holistic practices, eliminating the necessity for overnight stays. This approach enables individuals to address and navigate their addiction challenges while arming them with vital skills and support needed for long-term sobriety. By promoting accountability and encouraging the application of learned strategies in daily life, our PHP helps participants move forward in their recovery journey.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) begins the treatment pathway, succeeded by our regular Outpatient Program, and operates three days a week, with scheduling flexibility to accommodate individual responsibilities and commitments. These Outpatient Programs encompass diverse therapeutic approaches, including individual counseling, group therapy sessions, and workshops aimed at developing skills. Through our holistic approach, we facilitate a supportive path to recovery and rebuilding lives affected by addiction.

Alumni Client Family Testimonial
I feel like Cornerstone gave him all the right tools. He knew how to do it. It was something we could have never done. I just could totally see kind of a personality change in him of wanting, and knowing, that he could achieve and do higher things and greater things. That has to be the people (at Cornerstone).”

FAQs About GEHA
Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about rehab coverage.
What types of rehab programs does GEHA cover?
Coverage for drug and alcohol rehabilitation under GEHA insurance varies depending on your plan’s details.
Still, many policies broadly support a spectrum of treatment options aiding members on their path to recovery.
Consulting your plan’s Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) is crucial for obtaining precise information about what your policy covers.
Our team can assist in this process through our insurance verification service.
Typically, GEHA insurance may encompass treatments such as:
- Detoxification: Medical detox assists in safely managing withdrawal from substances with medical oversight.
- Residential Treatment: Offers a live-in structured setting for comprehensive care, including therapy and medical supervision.
- Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP): PHPs provide intensive care for several hours daily, permitting patients to spend evenings at home.
- Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): IOPs deliver outpatient care with more intensity than standard programs, often involving treatment for several hours across multiple days weekly.
- Outpatient Programs: These programs involve therapy and counseling sessions for a few hours weekly, enabling ongoing daily life activities alongside treatment.
- Therapy Sessions: Coverage often extends to various therapy formats, including individual, group, and family sessions, targeting addiction’s psychological and emotional facets.3
- Aftercare and Recovery Support Services: Some GEHA plans may include aftercare services such as recovery coaching, offering continued connection and support post-treatment.
What types of addictions does GEHA cover treatment for?
GEHA provides two insurance plans, each covering addiction and substance abuse treatment.
Eligibility for treatment is based on specific criteria, and it’s important to identify the particular type of rehabilitation needed.
Covered addictions under GEHA insurance include:
*Cornerstone offers treatment for these and other substance abuse issues.
Coverage for Dual-Diagnosis or Co-occurring Disorders Under GEHA
Mental health challenges often accompany addiction.
The link between deteriorating mental health and substance abuse is significant, as poor mental health may drive some to seek relief through substances, or chronic substance use may alter brain chemistry, leading to mental health disorders.
Recognizing substance abuse disorder as a mental health condition, GEHA covers a wide array of behavioral therapies under its health insurance plans.
Individuals seeking mental health support can access it both within and outside of rehabilitation settings.
While GEHA supports numerous therapeutic approaches, it’s vital to ensure the available programs match your specific needs and treatment goals.
This is essential for holistic recovery and mental well-being.
How much will I pay out of pocket for treatment?
Federal regulations require all insurance providers, including GEHA, to provide coverage for essential services.
While coverage for different treatments may vary, substance abuse and mental health services are considered essential and are therefore covered by GEHA.
Additionally, GEHA has set a maximum limit on the amount members need to pay out-of-pocket annually by imposing a cap on deductibles, which is great news for policyholders.
How do I find out my coverage?
Coverage for drug rehab under GEHA is contingent upon the specific duration and type of treatment chosen.
For instance, if a client is eligible for a 30-day alcohol rehab program, GEHA will probably provide coverage.
Typically, GEHA offers coverage for up to six weeks of inpatient rehab and twelve weeks for intensive outpatient programs.
Furthermore, the insurer ensures the treatment is medically necessary and may offer extended coverage in critical situations.
Managing Out-of-Pocket Expenses
The insurance plan you select is crucial in determining your out-of-pocket expenses.
Opting for a premium healthcare experience, such as a luxury rehab resort, may incur costs outside your coverage.
GEHA identifies which services, medications, and treatments are eligible for coverage under your plan.4
Consequently, those enrolled in High Option or HDHP (High Deductible Health Plans) are less likely to face additional charges, as these plans offer comprehensive coverage.5
On the other hand, standard plans may require higher deductibles.
Even though GEHA sets a deductible limit, paying thousands of dollars yearly before insurance coverage starts can be a significant financial burden for some people.
The deductibles must be fulfilled before coverage can be activated.

We’ll provide a detailed explanation of your coverage.
