More Information

Before you agree to enroll in a Tennessee drug treatment center, you might like to see some proof that treatment works and that the time you’ll spend in treatment will help you to pull your life back together. The Tennessee Access to Recovery 2004-2007 Outcomes Evaluation Report may provide you with the facts you need.

As this study makes clear, treatment for addiction really does work. If you’ve been avoiding enrollment because you’re not quite certain that you’ll benefit, hopefully this information will help persuade you to change your mind and accept the help that Tennessee drug treatment programs can provide.
Typical Components of Care

When you enroll in care, you’ll be treated like an individual, and your treatment team will work hard to learn more about your addiction history and the challenges you’ll face in maintaining your sobriety when you head home once more. You’ll do a significant amount of work in therapy sessions with a licensed counselor, but you might also be asked to participate in support group meetings, such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. You might also be provided with medications that can help you to keep your cravings for drugs under control.

Starting Your Search

The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services maintains a list of service providers, and that list can allow you to search for facilities that are located close to your home. But, you may find that facilities in other cities or states might be better equipped to help you with your specific needs. As mentioned, all treatment programs are highly tailored, and some programs are specifically attuned to the needs of a specific subset of the population.

You may feel more confortable in a treatment program that’s filled with people who are just like you, and that treatment program may be located miles away from your home.
