Symetria - Chicago Outpatient
Chicago, Illinois
6 treatment centers across Illinois that work with First Health.

First Health appears on all six of the Illinois treatment centers listed in this directory — a plan name that only about two percent of listings nationwide report, making it dramatically more common among these Illinois programs than across the directory as a whole. All six also report Humana and Optum, and five report MultiPlan, which suggests these are programs used to working with network-rental and PPO-style arrangements rather than a single carrier.
Every one of the six reports Military Tricare as well, twice as common here as in the directory generally, and four of the six say they serve veterans and military families. Reported acceptance is a starting point, not a promise: what your plan pays, and whether a given program sits in your network, depends on your individual policy and needs to be confirmed with your insurer and the facility itself.
All six Illinois programs listed report outpatient rehab and dual-diagnosis or co-occurring care, and every one treats co-occurring disorders. Four also report PTSD and trauma, three report eating disorders and two report ADHD.
Five of the six offer dialectical behavioral therapy, notably more common here than across the directory, alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and individual therapy at all six. Five report group therapy, and all six describe their approach as evidence-based and trauma-informed.
Five of the six report virtual or telehealth services — a practical difference for people in rural Illinois counties where the nearest program may be an hour or more away. Confirm with your plan whether telehealth behavioral health is reimbursed the same as in-person care.
Beyond First Health, all six report Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana and Optum, with two dozen more carriers recorded across the listings. Medicare, Tricare, private insurance and self-pay are each reported by all six.
Illinois runs a wide split between the Chicago metro and the rest of the state, and that shapes how people reach care. Residents of central and southern counties often drive to a larger city for structured programming, or use telehealth instead — five of the six Illinois listings here report virtual or telehealth services, and three report intensive outpatient, a format that can sometimes be delivered remotely depending on the program and your plan's rules.
Illinois Medicaid and commercial coverage are separate systems, and a person can move between them. If a commercial plan lapses, ends with a job, or leaves too much unpaid, HFS-funded and state-licensed programs may be an alternative; three of the six Illinois listings report state licensure, one reports CARF accreditation and one is SAMHSA-listed. Ask any facility which funding streams it accepts, because the answer often differs from the insurance list.
Most commercial plans include substance use and mental health benefits, and federal parity law together with Illinois insurance rules requires those benefits to be handled comparably to medical and surgical care. What that means in dollars, sessions and prior-authorization steps depends entirely on your specific plan document, so confirm the details with the number on your card and with the facility's billing staff.
All six Illinois programs listed here report accepting First Health, and all six also report Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana and Optum, with five reporting MultiPlan. Reporting acceptance is not the same as being in network for your particular plan, so ask each facility to confirm its network status against your member ID before admission.
Call the member services number printed on your card and ask about in network rehab First Health Illinois options, prior authorization rules, and what your plan expects for each level of care. Then call the facility with the same questions — the two answers should match before you commit.
Cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance and whether the program is in network, so no directory can quote a figure honestly. Ask the facility for a written estimate for the specific level of care recommended, and ask your insurer what portion your plan is expected to pay.
The six Illinois listings here report outpatient rehab and dual-diagnosis care rather than detox, so First Health detox coverage questions are worth raising directly with your plan and with a hospital or withdrawal-management program. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines can be medically serious, so speak with a clinician before stopping on your own.
Five of the six Illinois programs listed report virtual or telehealth services, which is often how people in downstate and rural counties attend outpatient sessions without a long drive. Ask whether your plan reimburses telehealth behavioral health at the same level as in-person visits, since that varies by policy.
Both, depending on the facility. Six of the six serve young adults aged 18 to 25, five serve adults 26 to 64, five serve seniors 65 and older, and three accept adolescents aged 13 to 17.
Yes — six of the six Illinois listings report Medicare, private insurance and self-pay, and all six report Military Tricare, which is twice as common here as across the directory overall. Four of the six also report serving veterans and military families.
Have your member ID card in hand, call the number on the back to ask what your plan covers for outpatient and dual-diagnosis care in Illinois, then call the facilities listed here directly using their own contact details to confirm network status and openings. If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call or text 988, or dial 911 for an emergency.
