Freedom Health Insurance Coverage for Drug Rehab
Discover Freedom Health’s Medicare Advantage plans in Florida, covering drug rehab and addiction treatment. Explore options for personalized care today!
Freedom Health is a managed care organization (HMO) that offers Medicare Advantage insurance plans in Florida. Plans are available to people who are eligible for Original Medicare due to their age or disability.
Freedom Health also offers chronic special needs plans (C-SNPs) and dual special needs plans (D-SNPs) that are available to people who have both Medicare and Medicaid.
Freedom Health’s headquarters are in Tampa, Florida. The company was founded in 2005 and currently has more than 62,000 members throughout 24 Florida counties. As an HMO, Freedom Health utilizes its own network of doctors and specialists to provide services to members.
Freedom Health’s provider network consists of primary care doctors, specialist providers, and pharmacies. Freedom Health has a Medicare rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5) for its Medicare Advantage plans.
Does Freedom Health Cover Drug Rehab & Addiction Treatment?
Freedom Health Medicare Advantage plans do cover mental health and substance abuse treatment in addition to medical treatments. Substance abuse treatment options will differ depending on the policy chosen. Copays or coinsurance may apply. Some policies may also have limitations on certain services.
Freedom Health plans may require you to use doctors and centers in the plan’s network to get coverage, so be sure to check out your plan’s specific details before you commit to treatment. For those plans that have out of network coverage, you’ll pay quite a bit more in out of pocket costs if you use a non network provider, so keep that in mind.

Thee best experience in recovery I've ever had. If anyone needs help with drug or alcohol addiction please call Serenity Springs. Their staff is amazing.
Serenity Springs Recovery truly saved my life. When I went through their inpatient program, I gained the strength, guidance, and tools I needed to finally turn things around. I have been sober ever since my stay there, and I continue to use the lessons I learned every single day. The staff genuinely cared and went above and beyond to support me on my journey. I am extremely grateful for my time at Serenity Springs and for the new life it helped me build. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking real recovery.

As an attorney, I referred my client to Fifth Street Counseling and the results were outstanding. They worked towards providing a tailored program for my client and my client consistently praised the staff’s professionalism, empathy, which provided a safe and transformative environment for growth. It is rare to encounter a facility so committed to excellence in care with the kindness they show. The communication with my office was seamless and prompt with any outstanding or follow up questions I had. Both Garry and Adam were a pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend Fifth Street to anyone seeking professional and compassionate counseling and treatment services.

I’m not a patient, I bring family members here, so this is a caregiver’s perspective. Both patients I bring express that they’ve connected well with their therapist and Dr. They are benefiting from services, which are offered on a sliding scale for those without insurance. May be $0 for people with no income and no insurance. I’m grateful these services are available in our community!! If I ever need to, I will go here.
And Heather, (front office) you are always so kind and so helpful. We appreciate you so much!

Our daughter is there for 3 weeks now and is showing more signs of improvement than we saw in years. Dr. Moran and the team really know what they are doing and have tools and desire to make a difference. Plus now we are more equipped then ever to keep on track for recovery once she comes back home, thanks to all education we received from FCRF. I finally have hope! I know if you are reading these reviews, you are desperate, same as I was a month ago. You don’t need to be, don’t wait! I recommend this place without reservation!
Update: it has been almost 2 months after my daughter left FCFR and it’s the healthiest 2 months we’ve seen in a long while. She hasn’t used any substances, found a part time job which she loves, graduated her failing semester with As and Bs and about to get her drivers license! It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, we still need to work hard daily on keeping things on track, but now the hope is getting more real every day!
10 months update: FCFR has truly been a game changer for us! Now my daughter is just a difficult (normal) teenager, but the disaster and desperation is so far behind, it’s almost hard to recall how it has been. Now she is committed to getting better and going on with her life, and that’s the most important part. Of course there will be ups and downs, but the terror of being constantly afraid for her and of her is far behind and I never ever want to go back. If we ever go back (it gives me anxiety to even write those words), we know who to call.
One last thing. There are a lot of comments about lack of tender, love and care at the facility. TLC FCFR does not provide indeed. But they provide something better: treatment THAT WORKS. I’m sure every story is different, but I’m also sure a lot of people have experienced the same thing I did: TLC does not treat psychiatric illness.

The police ministry at this center has been a blessing for my life. The guest speakers they bring in every month have nurtured me spiritually and everyone at this place is so welcoming and kind. The head minister Jorge is a great man of God and he works very hard to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ that is so wonderful.

I love the school. My daughter can read and write her name. Very happy with the school
I want to sincerely thank Daneyis Perez Sandoval for her professionalism, compassion, and dedication in helping me through the process of supporting a family member in need. From the beginning, she took the time to listen carefully, explain each step clearly, and make sure everything was handled properly and respectfully.
Daneyis went above and beyond to ensure that everyone involved was informed, cared for, and treated with dignity. Her kindness, patience, and thoroughness made a difficult situation much easier to navigate.
I’m truly grateful for her support and the genuine concern she showed for everyone’s well-being. She’s a true professional and an asset to her organization.

With Deepest Gratitude to Southern Winds Hospital
There are moments in life when words simply aren’t enough—and this is one of them. Our family will forever hold a special place in our hearts for Southern Winds Hospital and every single person who walked alongside us during one of the most painful and uncertain times in our lives.
After our beloved father suffered a brain stroke, worsened by arthritis in his neck, he developed dementia. We were devastated, unsure of what the future would hold, and feeling lost. But from the moment he arrived at Southern Winds, we were embraced by a team whose compassion, dedication, and humanity gave us something we thought we had lost—hope.
From the front desk staff who greeted us with warmth and friendly smiles, to the security team who made us laugh with gentle jokes—knowing our hearts were hurting—every interaction brought comfort. The cleaning crew, nurse technicians, and every staff member who passed by us made sure we were okay. They didn’t just care for our father—they cared for us, the family, with genuine kindness.
Every day, our father was bathed, shaved, and dressed in clean, regular clothes. He smelled fresh, looked peaceful, and was clearly being cared for with love and dignity. These small but powerful gestures reminded us that he was being treated not just as a patient, but as someone deeply valued.
We especially want to thank Social Worker Ernesto, whose guidance and support were a lifeline. Ernesto took the time to explain everything clearly, helping us understand the steps needed to bring our father back home. He was patient, compassionate, and truly committed to our father’s well-being. Alongside Ernesto, the physician assistant, nurses, caregivers and the doctors treated our father as if he were their own father or grandfather—with tenderness, respect, and unwavering care.
The medical team kept us informed every single day, calling us with updates and making sure we felt involved and reassured. Their dedication went far beyond duty—it was personal, and it meant the world to us.
If we could list every single name of the staff members who touched our hearts, we would end up writing a book. That’s how many people made a difference. From the smallest gestures to the most critical decisions, every act of care mattered.
To the board of Southern Winds Hospital: please recognize the incredible team you have. The doctors, nurses, social workers, technicians, and support staff are not only skilled professionals—they are healers, comforters, and heroes. They gave our family peace, hope, and the gift of more time with someone we love deeply.
Today, our father is home. He is responding to treatment, showing signs of joy, and doing better than we ever imagined. Even with the challenges of dementia, he is thriving—and we truly believe that the love and care he received at Southern Winds played a vital role in his recovery.
To everyone at Southern Winds Hospital: thank you. Thank you for your kindness, your professionalism, your laughter, and your heart. You gave us more than medical care—you gave us healing, hope, and love. We will never forget what you’ve done for our family.
With all our love and gratitude,
From a Family Forever Thankful

Staff is excellent and the doctors actually take the time to sit with patients to properly diagnose them in order to help. Nurses are caring and attentive. The techs definitely need raises because of the situations that they deal with professionally and effectively. Beds are not comfortable and individual therapy or counseling sessions would be very helpful for those that would like them.

Mrs. Karen is by the greatest lady I have delt with.she genuinely cares about my son. We had many obstacles over the last 5 years with his ADHD and she was always following up checking in finding the best solution for him and our family. She has even helped us with the school to get recommendations to tge programs the school was dragging thier feet on. Mrs Jennifer was our child and family coordinator/ therapist and she was more than patient with us. My son loves her and tho he doesn't see her anymore she has made an everlasting impact in all our lives and family as a whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Types of Inpatient Rehab is Covered By Freedom Health?
Drug rehab treatment options that may be available through Freedom Health’s Medicare Advantage insurance policies include a range of inpatient services.
Detoxification to remove drugs from the body, as part of alcohol or opioid addiction treatment, may be covered through some Freedom Health insurance plans. During detox, typically one of three FDA-approved medication-assisted treatment (MAT) medications–methadone, naltrexone, or buprenorphine–are used. Detox treatment is often administered as part of inpatient hospitalization.
Inpatient drug rehab in a clinic or a hospital may be covered by Freedom Health, just as it is available through Original Medicare Part A. Inpatient care must be verified as medically necessary by a physician.
Inpatient mental health treatment is also part of Freedom Health plans, but it also must be verified as medically necessary and you’ll need to choose a clinic that is approved by Medicare and accepts your specific insurance plan.
What Types of Outpatient Rehab are Covered By Freedom Health?
When you’ve completed inpatient treatment, or if your doctor recommends that you start with outpatient care, there are a variety of programs that may be available to you.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), which are also called day programs, are delivered as outpatient treatment in community mental health hospitals or community mental health centers. In PHP programs patients attend sessions during the daytime and return to their homes at night.
PHPs following Medicare guidelines must be directly supervised by a physician. Treatments must be outlined in an individualized care plan ordered by the doctor. Most PHP sessions last 4-8 hours a day and take place over three to five days a week.
A total of at least 20 hours of treatment per week for 3-4 weeks are typical. However, treatment can last up to two months or more, if the treatment plan specifies it. PHP treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling, along with addiction and relapse prevention education; it may also include mental health medication when it is needed.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) often include 9-20 hours of treatment per week, with these hours spread across 3-5 days. A recommendation of 90 days of treatment is typical for IOPs.
IOP programs include individual, group, and family counseling sessions, plus addiction and relapse prevention education. 12-step programming may be offered. Some intensive outpatient programs are structured as opioid treatment programs, which have been covered by Medicare since 2020.
General outpatient care meets once or twice a week and can help you maintain and reinforce everything you’ve learned in previous levels of addiction and mental health treatment.
Medicare Part B covers telehealth services by phone or internet when these services are provided by a physician or a mental health counselor who is contracted with Medicare as a provider. For services that treat addiction, mental health, or both, you don’t have to be in a specific area; instead, you can receive telehealth treatment from home.
Because Medicare Advantage plans must cover at least as much as Original Medicare, your Freedom Health plan will also include these telehealth options.
Are There Additional Benefits Available With Freedom Health?
Many Medicare Advantage plans offer additional benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t have. Freedom Health is one of the company that offers a variety of extra benefits and coverage.
For example, they have premium reimbursement for some Medicare Part B fees, which is returned to you in your Social Security check. Freedom Health plans also provide free wellness checks and screenings, 24/7 access to a nurse advice line, and a Free Silver Sneakers® fitness program membership.
You may also get a monthly pharmacy allowance of up to $125 for over the counter drugs and transportation to provider visits. Members of the special needs program (SNP) plans have access to caseworkers who can help you manage finances, keep your home safe, access the medication you need, and connect you to other resources.
What Are Freedom Health Plan and Care Levels?
Freedom Health offers 3 types of Medicare Advantage plans. They are Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Special Needs Plan (SNP), and Point of Service (POS) plans.
Their HMO plan offers participants the ability to choose their own primary care provider from a list of participating health professionals. Should a patient require the services of a specialist the PCP is able to send a referral to that provider for coverage. Some of these plans have no monthly premium costs and have low copayment requirements.
The SNP plan is for individuals who qualify for Medicaid or Medicare due to a chronic illness regardless of age. This plan helps individuals to offset the out of pocket cost of their medical treatment and prescription costs. Some of these plans have no monthly premium costs and have no copayment requirements.
Freedom Health’s POS plan offers the participants the option of seeing both in network and out of network providers and hospitals. The amount of coverage is greater when individuals see in network providers. For out of network care there is a higher out of pocket cost. Referrals to specialists may be required from the patient’s primary care provider.

Premium reimbursement for Medicare’s Part B fees. Money is returned via your Social Security check.
Free wellness checks and screenings
24/7 access to a Nurse Advice line
