Access to addiction and mental health treatment is a key part of comprehensive healthcare, and insurance providers like First Health Insurance play an important role in helping individuals and families obtain needed support. Substance abuse, alcohol misuse, and mental health disorders can significantly affect physical health, relationships, and daily functioning. First Health Insurance offers coverage options that may include addiction treatment services across multiple levels of care, from outpatient programs to more intensive treatment settings. Coverage varies based on the member’s plan, provider network, and specific treatment needs. This page explains how First Health Insurance coverage works, what services may be included, and how benefits impact individuals seeking recovery from substance use disorders.
First Health Insurance is a provider of healthcare coverage that operates as a subsidiary of the Health Care Services Corporation (HCSC). First Health Group is a leading health group that partners with major insurers, including Aetna, to offer a broad network of providers and insurance coverage for addiction treatment. With a network of over 1 million healthcare providers and facilities, First Health Insurance is dedicated to helping its members access the care they need.
While First Health does not sell individual insurance policies, it supports a variety of plan types offered by employers and health organizations that utilize its PPO network. These may include:
Plans that use the First Health PPO network to provide access to in-network and out-of-network providers, with lower costs for in-network services.
Employers may use First Health’s national provider network to offer comprehensive medical, mental health, and addiction treatment benefits to employees.
Many TPAs incorporate the First Health network to offer behavioral health and addiction treatment coverage through employer-backed plans.
Some supplemental and limited-benefit health plans include the First Health network to expand provider access nationwide.
Because First Health works as a network rather than a standalone insurer, coverage details depend on the member’s specific health plan and employer-sponsored benefits.
Addiction and mental health treatment involves structured programs, including drug rehabs, designed to help individuals overcome substance use disorders, behavioral addictions, and mental health conditions. Care is provided by trained professionals at a treatment facility and may include detox, therapy, counseling, coping skills training, and supportive services tailored to each person’s needs. Individualized treatment plans are developed to address each patient’s unique challenges and goals throughout their recovery journey. The goal is to address the physical, psychological, and social aspects of recovery, reduce symptoms, and improve overall well-being. Treatment options vary based on the severity of the condition and can include inpatient, outpatient, outpatient addiction treatment, and dual diagnosis programs for comprehensive support.
First Health is a national network of healthcare providers and facilities—not a standalone insurance company—so it does not sell insurance plans directly. Instead, many insurance companies and employer-sponsored health plans use the First Health network to offer members access to addiction treatment, mental health services, and drug or alcohol rehab. Because substance use and mental health services are considered essential health benefits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), plans that utilize the First Health network often include coverage for these services.
First Health insurance coverage may support individuals seeking treatment across multiple levels of care, including inpatient rehab, outpatient programs, and medication-assisted treatment. Coverage details depend on the specific health plan, but many plans include therapy, counseling, detox services, and dual diagnosis treatment. An insurance specialist can help verify First Health coverage, explain benefits, and determine what treatment options are available within the network.
Rehabs that accept First Health Insurance generally provide coverage across the full continuum of care, from medical detox to outpatient rehab and long-term aftercare. Coverage may include therapy, counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and services that support flexible, accessible recovery options. First Health Insurance plans often include benefits for drug and alcohol rehab, mental health treatment, and dual diagnosis care, helping individuals with both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions receive integrated support at every stage of recovery. Many rehab centers offer residential care in specialized residential treatment centers, providing a supportive and structured environment for recovery. These centers deliver a full spectrum of recovery services, from detoxification to long-term support, to guide clients through every stage of the recovery process.
Rehab centers that accept First Health Insurance offer multiple levels of care to ensure treatment aligns with clinical need and plan benefits.
Medical detox helps individuals safely manage withdrawal under clinical supervision. First Health detox coverage may include inpatient or outpatient detox, depending on the member’s plan.
Inpatient or residential rehab provides 24/7 structured care in a live-in environment. Coverage may include therapy, counseling, medical monitoring, and recovery-focused support.
PHP offers intensive daytime treatment with the ability to return home in the evenings. Coverage may include individual therapy, group therapy, physician oversight, and relapse-prevention services.
IOP provides structured therapy several days per week while allowing clients to maintain daily routines. First Health IOP coverage is often used as a step-down level of care or as a flexible recovery option.
Outpatient rehab includes scheduled counseling and therapy sessions for individuals with milder symptoms or those transitioning from higher levels of care. Coverage often applies to long-term recovery and maintenance.
Sober living offers structured, substance-free housing for individuals in early recovery. Coverage may be available when considered medically necessary or as part of coordinated discharge planning.
Coverage may include evidence-based therapies such as individual counseling, group therapy, and family therapy that address both addiction and mental health needs.
MAT uses FDA-approved medications alongside therapy to treat opioid or alcohol use disorders. First Health MAT coverage helps reduce cravings and support long-term recovery.
Coverage supports integrated care for co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder, ensuring treatment addresses both mental health and substance use.
CBT helps individuals change negative thought patterns and behaviors related to addiction. Coverage typically includes CBT in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
DBT combines behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and emotional regulation strategies. It is often covered for individuals with emotional dysregulation or trauma histories.
MI helps individuals explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. MI is often included in covered counseling services.
Some rehab centers offer holistic options such as yoga, meditation, and art therapy. Coverage varies by program and plan.
Plans may include support groups like 12-step programs or alternatives such as SMART Recovery as part of aftercare coordination.
Aftercare for members with First Health may include continued therapy, relapse-prevention planning, medication management, and regular check-ins. Many rehab centers also provide alumni programs, peer support, and long-term recovery resources to help individuals maintain progress after completing treatment.
