East TN Addiction Specialists

Integrated Substance Use and Mental Health Care

The center combines substance use treatment and psychiatric care in one multi-setting outpatient clinic. Board-certified addiction medicine physicians lead an evidence-based medical model that addresses substance use, mental health, and co-occurring needs together. Care includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), individual psychotherapy, and telehealth sessions. Clinicians consider environment, lifestyle, physical health, education, and psychological history when creating care plans.

Flexible Outpatient and Day Treatment Programs

The facility offers several levels of care so clients can match treatment intensity to their needs. Standard outpatient care may include individual visits, medication follow-up, and counseling. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) adds a structured schedule with group therapy, individual counseling, and life-skills training, designed to fit around work, school, and family responsibilities. The partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides a higher level of day treatment, with frequent therapy groups, individual sessions, and medication management while clients continue living at home.

Medications for Addiction Treatment And Psychiatry

For opioid use, the center offers medications for addiction treatment, including Suboxone and Vivitrol, along with medically supervised withdrawal. Doses are adjusted based on individual needs. Physicians monitor safety with medical exams, laboratory testing, and metabolic syndrome checks. A range of psychiatric medications is available for people living with serious mental illness, supported by integrated primary care services.

Practical Support for Housing, Work, And Daily Life

Beyond clinical services, the program offers recovery support aimed at long-term stability. Case management helps coordinate care and connect clients with housing services, supported housing options, and community resources. Supported employment and vocational rehabilitation services provide help with job readiness, workplace adjustment, and return-to-work planning. Mentoring, peer support, and life-skills training build practical tools for managing finances, routines, and relationships in recovery. The facility provides counseling and medications for tobacco cessation for clients who want to quit smoking.
