Understanding First Health Network for Addiction & Dual Diagnosis at The ARTS
If you are a member of a health plan that uses the First Health Network and you are seeking addiction treatment, The ARTS IOP is here to help. The ARTS is an in-network provider with First Health Network, a leading national preferred provider organization (PPO) network that gives members access to a broad range of contracted healthcare providers — including behavioral health and addiction treatment programs.
First Health Network itself does not issue insurance or make coverage decisions. Instead, it serves as the network behind many employer-sponsored plans, commercial insurance products, and third-party administrator (TPA) programs. Your specific benefits are determined by your underlying insurance plan, but members whose plans use the First Health PPO Network frequently have access to coverage for substance use disorder treatment, including outpatient programs like those offered at The ARTS.
Read on to learn more about how First Health Network coverage may apply to addiction treatment, what programs may be covered, and how The ARTS can support you on your path to recovery.
Insurance and Treatment
Why Insurance Coverage for Addiction Treatment Matters
Accessing quality addiction treatment is one of the most important steps a person can take, and having insurance coverage in place can make that step significantly easier. For First Health Network members, understanding your coverage options can remove a major barrier to getting the help you need.
Insurance coverage for addiction treatment helps reduce the financial burden associated with care, making professional treatment more accessible to a wider range of individuals. When out-of-pocket costs are reduced, individuals are more likely to seek treatment promptly, and early intervention tends to lead to better outcomes. Coverage also supports continuity of care — allowing clients to progress through multiple levels of treatment, from intensive programs to aftercare, without interruptions driven by financial concern.
Knowing that your plan supports addiction recovery can also reduce the stigma many people feel when considering treatment. It sends a clear signal that substance use disorders are medical conditions deserving of real, professional care — and that your health plan recognizes that.

How Insurance Can Help
Exploring First Health Network Addiction Treatment Coverage
Because First Health Network operates as a PPO network used by many different insurance plans and TPAs, coverage details vary by the specific plan you are enrolled in. That said, many plans that access the First Health PPO Network include benefits for substance use disorder treatment as an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).
Coverage through a First Health-linked plan may include outpatient treatment programs such as partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and standard outpatient care. Many plans also cover medication-assisted treatment (MAT), individual counseling and therapy, and dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions.
The best way to confirm your specific benefits is to contact your plan directly using the number on the back of your insurance card, or to reach out to The ARTS admissions team. We can help verify your coverage at no cost and walk you through what to expect before treatment begins.

We Can Help
How The ARTS Can Help First Health Network Members
First Health Network In-Network Provider The ARTS is in-network with First Health Network, which means that members whose plans use the First Health PPO can access our programs at in-network rates. Choosing an in-network facility is one of the most important steps you can take to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.
Individualized Treatment Plans No two people experience addiction in exactly the same way, and no two treatment plans at The ARTS are exactly alike. Our clinical team develops personalized plans built around each client’s unique history, needs, and goals to ensure the most effective path forward.
Evidence-Based Care Our treatment programs integrate proven, evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, EMDR therapy, and more. These methods give clients practical tools for managing triggers, building coping skills, and sustaining long-term recovery.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment Addiction rarely occurs in isolation. The ARTS specializes in treating co-occurring mental health conditions — such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder — alongside substance use disorders, ensuring that every client receives truly comprehensive care.
Aftercare and Continued Support Recovery extends well beyond the conclusion of a formal treatment program. Our team works with each client on individualized aftercare planning to support a smooth transition and help maintain the progress made during treatment.
What Sets Us Apart
Outpatient Treatment Programs at The ARTS
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Our partial hospitalization program provides highly structured treatment during the day while allowing clients to return home in the evenings. PHP is ideal for individuals who need intensive, clinically supervised support but do not require around-the-clock residential care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Our intensive outpatient program offers a flexible treatment schedule of therapy sessions and educational groups several times per week, making it possible for clients to continue meeting work, school, or family responsibilities while receiving meaningful clinical support.
Outpatient Program Our standard outpatient program is designed to provide ongoing support, counseling, and resources as clients actively apply the coping skills and recovery tools developed earlier in treatment. It is well suited for individuals with a stable foundation in recovery who are working toward lasting, independent sobriety.
Virtual IOP The ARTS also offers a virtual intensive outpatient program for clients who prefer or require remote access to care. Our virtual IOP delivers the same evidence-based clinical programming as our in-person program through secure, convenient telehealth sessions.
