Coverage in Florida

A growing list of commercial health plans cover Accountable, with more added each month; check your coverage in a few minutes. In-network members get the breathalyzer device included and pay whatever co-pay or deductible their plan sets. One detail matters for a lot of people who come to us from South Florida programs: if you went to a treatment provider in Florida and have since moved home to another state, the program travels with you. Coaching, groups and testing work the same anywhere in the country.

Federal employees and their families in Florida who carry GEHA have recovery coaching and monitoring as an included benefit, described at /geha.

If you would rather not involve insurance, private pay starts at $375 per month for weekly one-on-one coaching plus all groups. Self-pay members pay $125 once for the breathalyzer device. There is no contract and no facility to check into.

You can check your coverage here or call the care team at (646) 450-7641. Someone will walk through your plan with you and tell you plainly what it covers before you commit to anything.

How it works here

Same program, wherever you are in Florida

Nothing about Accountable requires you to be in a particular Florida county. You meet your coach, a certified peer specialist who is in recovery, once a week on video. You join daily peer groups as often as you want. Your family gets a weekly Zoom group of their own, whether they are in Tampa, Tallahassee or Toledo. Sessions are scheduled on your clock, Eastern time for most of the state and Central time for the western Panhandle, including evenings. Messaging with your coach is mostly business hours with some after-hours coverage. Accountable is not a crisis line; for a crisis, call 988 Florida Lifeline (DCF, 2026).

Testing comes to your door. Saliva screening is assigned at random through the week: an instant 10-panel strip, plus a lab-confirmed oral fluid test when the substance calls for it or a result needs confirmation. If alcohol is part of your story, you blow into a remote breathalyzer twice a day. You do not choose whether you test. You choose who sees the results, which for many Florida members means a spouse, a sober living manager or a physician, with your written consent and nobody else. Nobody tracks your location.

For Florida clinicians and programs: Accountable is built to sit alongside your discharge plan as ASAM Criteria, 4th Edition, Level 1.0, Long-Term Remission Monitoring. We work with 13 treatment programs and clinicians in Florida. With a signed release we send coaching attendance and test results back to you on your schedule, coordinate with a certified recovery residence listed in the FARR registry, and stay with your client when they leave the state. Clinicians can call the care team directly to arrange a warm handoff.

What recovery looks like in Florida right now

Overdose deaths in Florida are falling, and the work is not finished

Florida recorded 5,501 fatal overdoses in 2024, according to the Florida Department of Health's substance use dashboard (FLHealthCHARTS, 2025). CDC provisional counts put Florida's drug overdose deaths at about 3,980 for the twelve months ending April 2026, compared with roughly 7,330 in calendar 2023, close to half in a little over two years (CDC NCHS, 2026). Florida's medical examiners report the same pattern: opioid-caused deaths fell 32 percent in 2024 and another 42 percent in the first half of 2025 (FDLE, 2025; FDLE, 2026). Fentanyl is still the leading substance in those deaths.

Alcohol is the bigger number most families do not talk about

Across 2021 through 2023, 9.3 percent of Floridians aged 12 and older had an alcohol use disorder in the past year, 8.0 percent had a drug use disorder, and 15.2 percent had a substance use disorder of some kind (SAMHSA, 2024). Nationally, excessive drinking kills about 178,000 people a year (CDC, 2024).

Most people who need help are not getting it

Nationally, 48.4 million people aged 12 and older had a substance use disorder in 2024, and only about one in five (19.3 percent) received any substance use treatment that year (SAMHSA, 2025). In Florida, part of the gap is what happens after treatment. The Legislature has written into law that people do better when they can "build a stronger foundation by living in a recovery residence while receiving treatment or after completing treatment" (Fla. Stat. 397.487). Many of our Florida members are leaving exactly that setting and need structure that travels with them.

Naloxone and the law that protects the person who calls

Florida's Emergency Treatment and Recovery Act lets a pharmacist dispense naloxone under a standing order without a patient-specific prescription and authorizes family members and caregivers to carry and use it (Fla. Stat. 381.887). DCF's I Save Florida program has distributed more than two million free kits (DCF, 2026). Under Florida's 911 Good Samaritan Act, a person who "acting in good faith" seeks medical help for someone who appears to be overdosing may not be arrested, charged or prosecuted for possession found because they made that call, and the same protection covers the person overdosing (Fla. Stat. 893.21). Keep naloxone in the house and call 911 first.
