What Makes Freeman’s Residential Treatment Different

Many centers offer residential treatment, but how it works at Freeman Recovery Center sets us apart. We built our program around lived experience, whole-person care, and a true therapeutic community. You are not a number on a chart here. You are a person we walk beside through every stage of recovery, starting on day one.

Here is what makes our residential treatment different:

  • Lived experience on staff: More than half of our team is in recovery, so the people guiding you understand what you are facing.
  • Whole-person care: We treat your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health, not just the substance use.
  • The Arise faith-based track: An optional Christ-centered program for anyone who wants a spiritual foundation for healing.
  • A therapeutic community: You recover alongside peers who support and challenge you, which builds accountability and connection.
  • A full continuum under one roof: From medical detox through alumni support, you never have to switch providers as your needs change.

These are not slogans. They trace back to how Freeman began, on an air mattress in our founder’s mother’s basement, built on the belief that people matter. That conviction still shapes the care you receive today. Call (615) 645-3677 to learn what residential treatment can look like for you.

How Do You Know if You Need Inpatient Rehab?

How Do You Know if You Need Inpatient Rehab?

Inpatient rehab is the right choice when outpatient support is not enough to keep you safe and stable. It gives you a secure, structured environment, around-the-clock care, and distance from the people and places tied to your substance use. If recovery on your own has not held, inpatient care may be the change you need.
You may need inpatient rehab if you:

  • Have relapsed after trying to quit on your own or through outpatient care
  • Need medical detox to manage withdrawal safely
  • Find your substance use unmanageable, even with counseling or 12-step support
  • Are living with mental health conditions that fuel your addiction
  • Are struggling to get through withdrawal symptoms safely
  • Face safety concerns like an unstable home environment or overdose risk
  • Have been court-ordered to enter an inpatient program

If any of these sound familiar, you are not out of options. Our team completes a free assessment and helps you find the level of care that fits. Call Freeman Recovery Center at (615) 398-4497 to talk it through.

    Does Insurance Cover Residential Treatment at Freeman?

    Does Insurance Cover Residential Treatment at Freeman?

    Yes. Private health insurance often covers residential treatment at Freeman Recovery Center, though coverage varies by policy and provider. Many plans include benefits for addiction treatment that can cover part of your inpatient care, including medical supervision and therapy. Details like covered duration and out-of-pocket residential treatment costs depend on your specific plan.

    You do not have to decode your policy alone. Our admissions team verifies your insurance benefits quickly and confidentially, then explains exactly what your plan covers before you arrive. If insurance does not cover the full cost, we also offer flexible payment plans and income-based sliding-scale fees. Confirming coverage early eases financial stress and helps you focus on recovery.

    A Day in Our Residential Program: What Treatment Looks Like

    A day in our residential program balances structure with genuine support. From morning to evening, your time is shaped around therapy, connection, and rest, all within a safe and welcoming environment. The structure is not about rigid rules. It is about building the routine and stability that recovery depends on.

    Your day includes individual counseling and group therapy led by licensed clinicians. Group work often draws on 12-step principles, with AA and NA aligned programming available. You may take part in gender-specific groups, trauma-informed counseling, and peer mentoring, surrounded by people who understand what you are going through.

    Beyond therapy, your days include structure that rebuilds healthy habits, from shared chores and community service to life skills work and case management. If a mental health condition is part of your story, medication management and dual diagnosis support are built in. Faith-based services are available too, always optional and never required.

    What Substances We Treat in Residential Care

    Our residential treatment at Freeman Recovery Center addresses a wide range of substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. With 24/7 care, you receive a personalized plan that treats both the physical and psychological sides of addiction, from detox through intensive therapy and long-term recovery support. Whatever brought you here, we meet you where you are.

    No matter the substance, addiction is a medical condition that changes the brain, not a sign of weakness. Our residential program treats it with the seriousness and respect it deserves. If you are ready to begin, call Freeman Recovery Center at (615) 645-3677 today.

    Therapies and Clinical Approaches We Use in Our Residential Care

    Our residential program uses evidence-based therapies, not guesswork. Every approach is chosen because research shows it helps people recover. Your treatment plan combines several of these methods, tailored to your needs, the substance involved, and any co-occurring conditions. The aim is lasting change you can carry into life after treatment.

    The clinical approaches you may experience in residential care include:

    • Motivational interviewing: A client-centered method that helps you find your own reasons for change rather than being pushed toward it.
    • Cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy: Practical tools to reshape the thoughts and behaviors that drive substance use.
    • Contingency management: Positive reinforcement that rewards your progress and participation in treatment.
    • Relapse prevention training: Structured work to identify triggers, build coping skills, and protect your sobriety.
    • Trauma-informed counseling: Care that treats unresolved trauma as a root cause, not a side issue.
    • Family therapy: Sessions that involve your loved ones, rebuilding communication and support for your recovery.
    • The Sinclair Method: A medication-based option for alcohol use disorder, available when clinically appropriate.

    You will not get a one-size-fits-all program. Our clinical team draws on these approaches and adjusts them as you progress, because recovery is personal. To understand which therapies might fit your situation, call Freeman Recovery Center at (615) 645-3677.

    Life After Residential: Aftercare and Alumni Support

    Recovery does not end when residential treatment does. At Freeman Recovery Center, the connection continues long after you leave. Treatment gives you the tools, and our aftercare and alumni programs give you the ongoing support to keep using them. You leave with a plan and a community, not just a discharge date.

    Your continued support at Freeman can include:

    • Step-down care into PHP, IOP, or outpatient services as you regain independence
    • Sober living homes across Middle Tennessee, including gender-specific options
    • Alumni nights and community events that keep you connected to people who understand
    • An alumni app for continued connection and support between events
    • Employment counseling and job training to help you rebuild stability
    • 12-step and non-12-step groups, recovery coaching, and outcome follow-up after discharge

    Research shows that the longer you stay engaged with a comprehensive program, the better your chances of lasting sobriety. That is exactly why our support continues well past your stay. You will always have a place to return to.

      I love this place! I look forward to coming back Freeman Alumni I will forever be greatful for you giving me my life, family, sobriety, and marriage back! I came in and instantly wanted to leave I was scared and assumed how this place was based on looks then I made it to class and met the people and employees and fell in love! Like anywhere else its what you make of it. The EMDR therapy was phenomenal I was not a believer but it was one of the most helpful things I did I also enjoyed the Acupuncture. The only complaint I have is the staff that I loved are no longer there. Please reconsider bringing them back they helped me see the light!

      This is my second review. It will be just wonderful as my first. My husband was here last year and they were wonderful. Unfortunately at no fault of anyone there he is now back. This second time they were just as wonderful. They got him a bed the first day he called them. When he arrived they all welcomed him again. No one ever wants to have their family member to have to go through addiction but thank God for people like Freeman who truly care and want nothing but the best. I look forward to watching my husband’s progress and being there every step of the way. Thank you Freeman for caring and not ever giving up.
