15 treatment centers across Virginia that work with First Health.

Day treatment is the standout here. All 15 Virginia treatment centers in this directory report offering PHP or day treatment — a level of intensity roughly 4.6 times more common among these listings than across the directory as a whole, where about 22% report it. Every one of the 15 also reports accepting First Health, against roughly 2% directory-wide, which is why this set of facilities is worth comparing side by side rather than one at a time.
That combination matters practically. PHP gives you clinical hours close to residential intensity while you sleep at home, and it is often the level a commercial plan will authorize sooner than a 30-day residential stay. Whether your own plan covers it, and at what share, depends entirely on your policy — confirm that with First Health and with the facility before you commit to a start date.
Seven of the eight Virginia listings that report substances treated include prescription drugs — around 88%, against roughly 6% across the directory. If pain medication, stimulants or sedatives are part of the picture, that is unusually well represented among these facilities.
Eight of the 15 report treating suicidal ideation, a far higher share than the roughly 1% seen directory-wide. All 15 report dual-diagnosis care and treat co-occurring disorders, with 14 addressing depression and 13 addressing PTSD or trauma.
All 15 report both evidence-based and holistic approaches, and 10 report trauma-informed care. Five of the 15 offer nutrition therapy, which is roughly a third of these listings against about 1% across the directory.
Adults aged 26 to 64 are served by all 15, young adults 18 to 25 by 14, seniors 65 and over by eight, and adolescents 13 to 17 by seven. Age eligibility narrows fast at both ends, so confirm it before travelling.
Geography shapes care in Virginia more than in most states. Southwest Virginia, the Southside and the Eastern Shore have few residential beds, so people routinely drive toward Richmond, Hampton Roads, Charlottesville or Northern Virginia for admission — a three- or four-hour trip that becomes impossible as a daily commute once PHP or IOP begins. That is where the 14 of 15 facilities reporting virtual or telehealth services change the arithmetic, letting someone step down to remote care after a residential stay rather than dropping out of treatment entirely.
Payment routes overlap here too. All 15 report accepting Medicaid alongside private insurance, and Virginia's Medicaid addiction benefit covers a full continuum, so a household where one member has a commercial plan and another qualifies for Medicaid can often use the same facility. Eleven of the 15 report serving veterans and military families, which reflects Virginia's large service population around Hampton Roads and the Northern Virginia corridor.
Coverage for addiction treatment depends on your specific plan, not on the carrier name alone. First Health networks are often used as the provider network behind an employer or third-party administered plan, so the benefit details — deductible, prior authorization, day limits — sit in your plan documents. Call the member number on your card and ask the facility's admissions office to confirm what they see on their end.
Ask your insurer three things: whether the specific facility is in network, whether the level of care you need requires prior authorization, and what your remaining deductible and coinsurance are for behavioral health. Then give the facility your member ID and let its admissions staff run its own check, because facilities often see network status that a member-services script does not.
All 15 Virginia facilities in this directory report accepting First Health, and all 15 also report accepting private insurance and Medicaid. Reporting acceptance is not the same as being in network for your particular plan, so confirm that with both the facility and your insurer before admission.
Alcohol treatment cost varies with the level of care, the length of stay and how your plan splits the bill, so no honest figure can be quoted in advance. Ask the facility for a written estimate of your expected patient responsibility once it has verified your benefits.
Detox is a separate benefit from residential or outpatient care on many plans, and it frequently requires its own authorization. Confirm First Health detox coverage under your plan directly, and if the Virginia facility you are considering does not run its own detox, ask which withdrawal-management provider it typically works with.
Virginia has both a state parity law and federal parity rules, which generally require plans that cover substance use and mental health care to apply comparable limits to those benefits as to medical and surgical care. Self-funded employer plans follow federal rules rather than Virginia's, so ask your HR or plan administrator which set applies to you.
Yes. All 15 Virginia listings report Medicaid alongside private insurance, and 12 of the 15 also report state-funded or free care. If your First Health benefits run out or a level of care is denied, ask the facility what other payment routes it accepts, including the 14 of 15 that report self-pay.
Fourteen of the 15 Virginia facilities listed report virtual or telehealth services, which matters if you live hours from a metro area or cannot leave work and family. Check whether your plan reimburses telehealth behavioral health at the same rate as in-person visits, since that varies by plan.
Write down your member ID, then call two or three of the Virginia facilities listed here directly using their own contact details and ask admissions to verify your First Health benefits and quote your expected patient responsibility in writing. Call your insurer separately with the same questions so you can compare answers. If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call or text 988, or call 911.
