How FRC Uses Your First Health Network Plan
Freeman Recovery Center accepts First Health Network as part of a broad network of insurance partners, and the team at FRC is experienced in navigating behavioral health benefits for alcohol treatment. Accepting your insurance is just the starting point. What matters practically is how your benefits apply to the specific level of care that fits your clinical situation.
The continuum at Freeman Recovery Center runs from medical detox all the way through sober living and alumni support, with every level of care available under one provider organization. That matters for your coverage because:
Transitioning between levels of care, for example from residential treatment to PHP, is clinically seamless when you stay within the same organization. There is no gap in authorization, no new facility to credential with your insurance, and no disruption to the clinical team managing your case. First Health Network benefits can apply continuously as you move through the appropriate levels of care based on your progress.
For alcohol use disorder specifically, FRC’s clinical team is equipped to treat everything from early-stage alcohol misuse to severe alcohol use disorder with complex withdrawal. The level of care recommended for you will be based on a clinical assessment, not a one-size-fits-all intake protocol, and that recommendation will guide how your First Health benefits are applied.

What First Health Network Typically Covers for Alcohol Treatment
First Health Network operates as a preferred provider organization (PPO) network, meaning members can access a broad range of in-network providers at reduced out-of-pocket alcohol rehab costs. When it comes to alcohol use disorder treatment, behavioral health benefits under First Health Network plans generally align with federal mental health parity requirements, which mandate that insurers cover substance use disorder treatment at the same level they cover other medical conditions.
That said, every First Health plan is structured differently. The specific benefits you have, such as which levels of care are covered, what your deductible is, and what cost-sharing you may owe, depend on the plan your employer or marketplace selected. The most reliable way to know what you’re working with is a formal verification of benefits, which the Freeman Recovery Center admissions team handles for you at no charge.
Alcohol use disorder treatment coverage through First Health Network may include:
- Medical detox for alcohol withdrawal (often the most urgent and most commonly covered level)
- Residential inpatient treatment (30, 60, 90, or 180-day programs depending on clinical need)
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for structured daytime programming
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), including evening tracks for working adults
- Standard outpatient care for ongoing recovery maintenance
- Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved medications such as naltrexone, acamprosate, or disulfiram
- Dual diagnosis treatment when a co-occurring mental health condition is present alongside alcohol use disorder
Coverage eligibility, prior authorization requirements, and out-of-pocket amounts vary by plan. Freeman Recovery Center’s admissions team works directly with First Health Network to confirm your coverage before your first day of care.

Levels of Care at FRC That First Health Network May Cover
Freeman Recovery Center offers a full continuum of alcohol treatment programs across two facilities in Middle Tennessee. Here is what that looks like in practice and how your First Health Network plan may apply to each level.
Medical Detox for Alcohol in Burns, TN
Alcohol withdrawal can be medically serious, and for many people it is the right starting point before residential or outpatient treatment. Freeman Recovery Center’s medically monitored detox program is located at the Burns, TN campus and provides 24-hour clinical supervision throughout the withdrawal process. Medical detox is among the most commonly covered levels of care under behavioral health benefits, including First Health Network plans.
Residential Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder
Also located at the Burns, TN campus, FRC’s residential program provides structured, around-the-clock care for individuals who need an immersive treatment environment. Programs range from short-term (7, 14, 21, or 30 days) to long-term (60, 90, or 180 days). The clinical team works with your First Health Network plan to obtain the necessary authorizations and determine the appropriate length of stay based on medical necessity criteria.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Dickson, TN
PHP at Freeman Recovery Center is based at the Dickson outpatient campus and delivers intensive daytime clinical programming while patients live off-site, either at home or in one of FRC’s sober living homes. PHP is often used as a step-down from residential care, and First Health Network coverage for PHP is common, though prior authorization requirements may apply.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Alcohol Treatment
FRC’s IOP provides several hours of structured therapy per week and is available in evening formats for adults with work, family, or school obligations. For many people with First Health Network coverage, IOP represents the most accessible and affordable level of care after completing a higher intensity program. Sober living through FRC is available for IOP patients who need stable housing to support their outpatient participation.
Standard Outpatient and Telehealth Options
For individuals further along in their recovery or stepping down from IOP, standard outpatient visits and telehealth-based care through Freeman Recovery Online are available. The telehealth option delivers live individual and group therapy sessions remotely, accessible from anywhere in Tennessee. This is particularly useful for patients with transportation barriers or those who live at a distance from the Dickson or Burns campuses.
When First Health Network Covers Dual Diagnosis Alcohol Treatment
Alcohol use disorder frequently co-occurs with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood disorders. Treating both conditions simultaneously, rather than addressing alcohol use alone, is the clinical standard and tends to produce more durable outcomes.
Freeman Recovery Center’s dual diagnosis programming addresses this intersection directly, with trauma-informed counseling, evidence-based therapies including CBT and DBT, and access to psychiatric services through Freeman Health Partners. Many First Health Network plans cover dual diagnosis treatment under behavioral health benefits, particularly when both the substance use disorder and the co-occurring condition are clinically documented and medically necessary.
If you believe a mental health condition may be contributing to your alcohol use, let the admissions team know during your initial conversation. It will shape both the clinical assessment and the benefits verification so there are no surprises on coverage.
