About Freeman Recovery Center

Freeman Recovery Center began on an air mattress in our founder’s mother’s basement, built on a simple belief: people matter. Today we care for hundreds of Tennesseans across a full continuum of treatment, from medically monitored detox through residential care, PHP, IOP, outpatient services, recovery housing, and lifelong alumni support, all under one organization. You never have to start over with a new provider as your needs change, because your team already knows your story.

That care is held to the highest standards in the industry. Freeman is accredited by The Joint Commission, LegitScript certified, a member of the NAATP, and licensed by the state of Tennessee. More than half of our staff are in recovery themselves, so the people guiding you understand what you are facing. With locations in Burns and Dickson, just west of Nashville, help is close by whenever you are ready.

Getting Started at Freeman

Taking the first step is often the hardest part, so we work to make it simple. These questions cover how admission works at Freeman, what your first call looks like, and how quickly you can begin.

How do I get started at Freeman Recovery Center?

Getting started begins with one phone call to (615) 645-3677. Our admissions team completes a free, confidential assessment to understand your history, your substance use, and any co-occurring mental health needs. From there, we verify your insurance, recommend the right level of care, and build a treatment plan around you, then coordinate your admission, often within the same day.

What happens during my first call with admissions?

Your first call is a conversation, not an interrogation. A member of our admissions team listens to what you are going through, answers your questions, and gathers the basics needed to help. There is no pressure and no judgment. By the end of the call, you will have a clear picture of your options and a recommended next step.

Can I get same-day admission?

Often, yes. Freeman is known for a quick, supportive admissions process, and same-day availability is frequently possible once your assessment is complete and your care is arranged. If waiting is not an option, say so when you call and we will move as fast as we safely can.

Do you offer a free assessment?

Yes. A free, confidential assessment is part of our admissions process. It helps our clinical team understand the severity of your situation, identify any co-occurring conditions, and match you to the right level of care. There is no cost and no obligation to enroll.

What should I bring when I am admitted?

What to bring depends on the level of care you enter, so our admissions team gives you a clear packing list before you arrive. Generally, plan for comfortable clothing, any current medications, and your ID and insurance information.

Where will I go first, Burns or Dickson?

It depends on the care you need. If you are starting with medically monitored detox or residential treatment, you begin at our Burns facility at 1615 HWY 96, open 24/7. If you are entering PHP, IOP, or outpatient care, you attend our Dickson facility at 250 State St.

Insurance and Paying for Treatment

Worrying about how to pay should never keep you from getting help. These questions cover insurance and the options available if you are paying another way.

Does Freeman Recovery Center accept insurance?

Yes. Freeman accepts most major insurance plans. Our admissions team verifies your benefits quickly and confidentially, then explains what your specific plan covers before you begin. Call (615) 645-3677 and we will handle the verification for you.

What if I do not have insurance?

You still have options. Freeman offers flexible payment arrangements, and income-based sliding-scale fees are available through Freeman Health Partners. Our team talks through what fits your situation so that cost does not stand between you and care.

Will you tell me my costs before I commit?

Yes. Once we verify your benefits, we explain what your plan covers and what your out-of-pocket responsibility may look like, in plain language, before you enroll. You are never locked into anything just for finding out where you stand.

Our Treatment and Programs

Knowing how treatment works makes the decision feel less daunting. These questions cover the levels of care we offer, the therapies we use, and the specialized care that sets Freeman apart.

What levels of care does Freeman offer?

We offer a full continuum under one organization: medically monitored detox, residential treatment, PHP, IOP, outpatient and telehealth services, supportive recovery housing, and alumni support. You can step down or step up as your needs change without switching providers.

What therapies does Freeman use?

We use evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, contingency management, relapse prevention training, trauma-informed counseling, and family therapy. For alcohol use disorder, the Sinclair Method is available when clinically appropriate.

Do you treat co-occurring mental health conditions?

Yes. Freeman provides dual diagnosis care that treats substance use and conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma together. Through Freeman Health Partners, you also have access to integrated psychiatric care, medication management, and TMS for conditions like depression.

Do you offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?

Yes. MAT is available when clinically appropriate, pairing FDA-approved medications with counseling to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings. It is coordinated through our clinical team and Freeman Health Partners physicians and always combined with therapy.

Is there a faith-based treatment option?

Yes. Our optional Arise track is a Christ-centered, biblically based program for anyone who wants a spiritual foundation for recovery. It is completely optional, and non-religious tracks are available with the same quality of care.

Who does Freeman treat?

Freeman treats adults and offers programming for men, women, young adults, veterans and military families, professionals, LGBTQ+ individuals, older adults, people who have experienced trauma, and those with co-occurring conditions.

Do you accept veterans and TRICARE?

Yes. Freeman serves veterans and military families and accepts coverage including TRICARE, CHAMPVA, and VA CCN. Our admissions team can verify your specific benefits and explain what your care would look like.

Daily Life at Freeman

It helps to picture what your time in treatment will actually feel like. These questions cover a typical day, the people you will work with, and the environment at our facilities.

What does a typical day in treatment look like?

Your day balances structure with support: individual counseling and group therapy led by licensed clinicians, often drawing on 12-step principles, plus trauma-informed counseling, gender-specific groups, peer mentoring, case management, and structured routines. Optional faith-based services are available, and medication management is included when needed.

Who will I work with at Freeman?

You work with licensed clinicians and therapists, board-certified physicians, and registered nurses, alongside peer mentors and recovery coaches. Because more than half of our staff are in recovery, the people supporting you genuinely understand what you are going through.

What are the Freeman facilities like?

Our facilities are built to feel safe, comfortable, and welcoming. The Burns campus sits on peaceful grounds with comfortable common areas, quiet spaces, and an on-site chapel. Our Dickson facility houses outpatient programs and admissions in a clean, professional, supportive setting.

Are men and women treated separately?

Freeman offers gender-specific support groups as part of treatment, and our recovery housing includes gender-specific homes across Middle Tennessee, giving you space to do the harder work of recovery among peers who understand your experience.

Do you offer online or telehealth treatment?

Yes. Through Freeman Recovery Online, you can access PHP and IOP care from home via secure video, with licensed professionals and live individual and group sessions. It is a strong option if you have transportation barriers, work commitments, or prefer privacy.

Family and Recovery Housing

Recovery is stronger with support, and the people around you matter. These questions cover how family fits into treatment and the housing available during outpatient care.

Can my family be involved in treatment?

Yes. Freeman offers family therapy to help rebuild communication, trust, and support. Involving the people closest to you creates a stronger foundation for lasting recovery, both during treatment and after.

What is supportive recovery housing?

Supportive recovery housing gives you a safe, stable place to live while you take part in outpatient levels of care. Freeman offers recovery housing, including gender-specific homes, across Middle Tennessee, removing the triggers and pressures of daily life so you can focus on getting well.

Can I stay in touch with my family during treatment?

Staying connected to loved ones can be an important part of healing, and our team explains how family contact works at your specific level of care during admissions. If it is a concern, raise it when you call and we will address it directly.

Do you offer sober living after treatment?

Yes. Freeman connects you to sober living and recovery housing across Middle Tennessee as you transition out of more intensive care, giving you continued structure and community while you rebuild independence.

Life After Treatment

Lasting recovery continues well beyond your final session. These questions cover what happens when a program ends and how Freeman stays in your corner.

What happens after I complete a program?

As you stabilize, we help you step down into the next appropriate level of care, whether PHP, IOP, outpatient services, or sober living. You also gain access to our alumni community and recovery support services, so you leave with a plan and ongoing connection, not just a discharge date.

Does Freeman have an alumni program?

Yes. Our alumni program keeps you connected through alumni nights, community events, and an alumni app. Alongside recovery coaching, peer mentoring, employment counseling, and outcome follow-up, our aftercare is built to support you for the long haul.

What kind of support do you offer after discharge?

Freeman’s recovery support extends well past your last day. It can include sober living connections, recovery coaching, peer mentoring, employment counseling, discharge planning, overdose education, and follow-up on how you are doing after you leave.

Can I come back if I relapse?

Yes. Freeman is known for a welcome-back culture rather than a judgmental one. If you have been with us before and need help again, reach out. We will meet you where you are and help you get back on track.

Privacy and Confidentiality

Your privacy is part of feeling safe enough to heal. This question covers how Freeman handles your information.

Will my treatment be confidential?

Yes. Your privacy matters to us, and we handle your personal and medical information with care and discretion throughout your time at Freeman. If you have specific questions about confidentiality, our admissions team is glad to answer them when you call.
