Levels of Care Available to La Vergne Residents
Addiction rarely resolves at a single level of care. Most patients move through multiple stages, and having all of those options within one provider organization eliminates the handoff friction that often leads to relapse. Here is what Freeman Recovery Center offers for patients coming from the La Vergne area:
Medical Detox
For substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, and opioids, withdrawal carries real medical risks. FRC’s medically monitored detox, located at the Burns, TN campus, provides 24/7 medical and clinical supervision throughout the withdrawal management process. The focus is on managing withdrawal symptoms safely while preparing patients for the treatment phase that follows. Detox at FRC is the entry point into a continuum of care, not a standalone endpoint.
Residential Treatment
Following detox, or as a standalone entry point for patients who do not require medical withdrawal management, FRC’s residential program provides structured, immersive treatment. Patients live on-site at the Burns campus with daily programming that includes individual therapy, group therapy, trauma-informed counseling, 12-step and non-12-step tracks, gender-specific support groups, case management, and medication management where clinically indicated.
Residential stays range from short-term options (7, 14, 21, and 30-day programs) to longer formats of 60, 90, and 180 days, depending on clinical need and personal circumstances.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
PHP is the most intensive outpatient level of care, structured for patients who need concentrated daytime clinical programming but can live outside of a treatment facility. For La Vergne residents stepping down from residential care, or those who need a high level of support without full inpatient admission, PHP at FRC’s Dickson campus provides that structure. Patients who need stable housing during PHP can access Freeman’s sober living homes in Middle Tennessee.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The IOP at Freeman Recovery Center is designed for people who are maintaining work, family, or school responsibilities while engaging in serious addiction treatment. Evening programming is available, which is a practical consideration for La Vergne residents balancing commute times. IOP involves multiple days of structured therapy sessions per week, including individual counseling, group sessions, relapse prevention training, and ongoing clinical oversight.
Standard Outpatient and Continuing Care
After completing a higher level of care, ongoing outpatient visits provide continuity and accountability during the transition back to everyday life. For La Vergne residents managing longer commutes, telehealth outpatient options are available to maintain treatment contact without requiring frequent in-person travel.
Sober Living
Freeman’s gender-specific sober living homes across Middle Tennessee provide structured transitional housing for patients completing residential treatment or participating in outpatient programs. For La Vergne residents who need stable, substance-free housing during treatment, these homes remove a barrier that frequently derails recovery efforts.

Addiction Treatment for La Vergne Residents: What FRC Treats
Freeman Recovery Center addresses the full range of substance use disorders at the clinical level, as well as the co-occurring mental health conditions that frequently present alongside them.
Substances treated include:
- Alcohol (including withdrawal management and long-term recovery support)
- Opioids and opiates: heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, codeine, Suboxone, methadone, Vicodin
- Benzodiazepines: Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan, Librium, Restoril
- Stimulants: methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine
- Sedatives and prescription drugs: Ambien and related compounds
Co-occurring mental health conditions addressed through dual diagnosis treatment include:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression and mood disorders
- PTSD and trauma-related conditions
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
- ADHD
- OCD
- Schizophrenia
Dual diagnosis treatment means both conditions are treated simultaneously, by the same integrated clinical team, rather than sequencing addiction treatment before or after mental health care. For many patients, untreated mental health conditions are a primary driver of substance use, and addressing only one side of that equation leaves recovery incomplete.
Why La Vergne Residents Choose Freeman Recovery Center
Distance is a common concern for La Vergne residents considering FRC. What tends to matter more is what is available when they arrive.
More than 50% of FRC’s clinical staff are personally in recovery. This is not an incidental detail. It shapes how patients are received, how conversations happen, and how the clinical environment functions. Staff members with lived experience bring a different kind of understanding to the work than clinicians who have not faced addiction personally.
The “Arise” faith-based recovery track offers an optional Christ-centered program framework for patients whose recovery is grounded in faith. Secular and non-12-step tracks are equally available for patients who prefer a different philosophical foundation.
Joint Commission accreditation means Freeman Recovery Center has met the highest clinical and operational standards in healthcare accreditation. FRC has held this accreditation since 2014 and is also licensed by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (TDMHSAS), LegitScript certified, and a member of the NAATP.
Scale without losing structure. With 200 beds across its continuum, 60-plus properties across Tennessee, and 350-plus patients served daily, FRC has the infrastructure of a large organization. The clinical teams at each level of care still operate in structured, targeted programs rather than large, impersonal environments.
Freeman Health Partners, FRC’s integrated sister organization, extends clinical depth beyond standard addiction treatment. Psychiatric services, primary care, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression, and MAT administration are all available through this integrated clinical network.
Insurance Accepted for La Vergne Residents Seeking Addiction Treatment
Most major insurance plans are accepted at Freeman Recovery Center. Patients from La Vergne holding the following coverage can typically access treatment with benefits:
Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (including BCBS of Tennessee), Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Magellan, TRICARE, Humana, Ambetter, Medicaid/TennCare, Amerigroup, Molina Healthcare, Carelon, Oscar Healthcare, and others.
Veterans and military family members can use TRICARE, CHAMPVA, and VA CCN/Optum VA CCN coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions: Addiction Treatment Near La Vergne, TN
How accessible is Burns from La Vergne?
Burns is about an hour and 15 minutes northwest of La Vergne via I-24 west and I-40 west. Our Dickson outpatient location is similar in distance. La Vergne residents can practically use the full Freeman continuum, with residential at Burns and outpatient commute distance for PHP/IOP working for many clients.
What if I’m worried about being in a rehab full of people I don’t relate to?
Substance use disorders affect people across every demographic, and our residential population reflects that range. You’ll meet clients from different professions, backgrounds, ages, and life situations. The shared experience is the substance use disorder itself, not specific demographic alignment. Most clients describe being surprised at how universal the underlying patterns feel, even among very different people. The community-building aspect of residential is part of the therapeutic value.
Does Freeman have intensive options for early-stage substance use?
For people whose substance use hasn’t progressed to severe addiction but who recognize a problem developing, the clinical assessment determines whether outpatient counseling, IOP, or a more intensive level of care fits best. Catching substance use early, before it progresses to severe disease, generally produces better outcomes and shorter treatment timelines. Don’t wait until things are catastrophic to consider treatment. Earlier engagement is clinically easier than later engagement.
How does Freeman handle clients with co-occurring eating disorders?
Eating disorders co-occur with substance use disorders more often than people realize, and treating one without addressing the other often produces poor outcomes. We coordinate eating disorder care during substance use treatment when both diagnoses are present, with referral to specialized eating disorder treatment when the eating disorder is the primary clinical issue requiring more intensive specific care than we provide. The integrated approach matters; the substance use shouldn’t get treated in isolation when other significant conditions are present.
Can my children stay with me during treatment?
Residential treatment at Burns is for adult clients only, not for children of clients. Family sessions and visitation include children when developmentally appropriate, and we structure family programming to support parent-child relationships during treatment. For parents with active childcare responsibilities, planning the residential phase requires coordinating childcare and family logistics. We discuss this directly during admission so the planning is realistic.
What about clients who are pregnant?
Pregnancy adds significant clinical complexity to substance use treatment, particularly for opioid or alcohol use disorder where withdrawal can be medically risky for the pregnancy. We coordinate with obstetric providers and may refer pregnant clients to programs with specific perinatal substance use treatment expertise when their needs exceed what we can safely deliver. The clinical priority is the safety of both the client and the pregnancy, which sometimes means specialized referral.
