Beacon’s MHSUD (mental health and substance use disorder) solution meets the unique needs of employers, health plans, and state agencies involved in Beacon Health detox in Georgia. Coverage for treatment of substance use disorders varies by plan.
However, Beacon usually covers most types of addiction, including:
- Alcohol
- Opioids
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Methamphetamine
- Benzodiazepines
No two addictions are the same. As such, the appropriate treatment will depend on the situation and someone’s specific needs. Beacon plans may cover these common treatment components of substance use disorders:
- Assessment
- Detox
- Medications, including (MAT)
- Dual-diagnosis treatment
- Therapy
- Inpatient/residential stay
Again, the limits of coverage depend on the type of Beacon plan one has. The plan may have deductibles, coinsurance, co-pays, or a combination of these.

Will I Have a Deductible for My Beacon Coverage?
The exact cost of treatment at The Retreat of Atlanta for Beacon members can vary. The cost will mostly depend on two factors: one’s plan’s benefits and whether their therapist is in-network with Beacon Health Options.
Additionally, the plan will likely have a deductible. This is the amount that is paid by the member before the insurance begins to pay for services. Once the deductible is met, BHO will cover the cost of some or all of the treatment services.
