Mental Health Treatment in Tennessee

A continuum-of-care approach is what works best for most patients who are seeking addiction treatment. This means you don’t do one type of rehab program, and once it ends, you’re finished. Rather, you gradually work through treatment as you’re ready. You prepare for lower-intensity treatment at your own pace.

For most clients seeking addiction treatment, medical detox is the first step. You can participate in a medical detox onsite at a Tennessee drug and alcohol rehab center, which makes the transition to your next phase of treatment easier and more seamless.

During medical detox, the focus is on stabilizing withdrawal symptoms a client may be experiencing. Withdrawal symptoms range in severity and, on the worst end of the spectrum, can be life-threatening without appropriate medical management.

The staff of a medical detox provides monitoring and medications as needed. When medically appropriate, these might include medication-assisted treatments specifically for withdrawal.

A medical detox creates a safer, more comfortable experience and better prepares clients for what’s next.

Inpatient Rehab

Whether you receive inpatient treatment at a Tennessee drug and alcohol rehab center or decide to go to another state, this is the most intensive care level.

Inpatient rehab offers unique advantages to clients. The environment is one that’s structured and alleviates temptations and triggers. A sense of routine and predictability is beneficial in the earliest days of recovery.

There’s the support that comes from the staff during inpatient rehab, as well as other clients.

The treatment day is usually full, including group and individual therapy sessions. Holistic activities to support recovery might be parts of the day, such as yoga, meditation, or art therapy.

Inpatient rehab uniquely allows being fully immersed in the treatment process, often yielding the best outcomes.

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient treatment can vary quite a bit in terms of intensity.

For example, Centric Behavioral Health offers several types of outpatient rehab at our Tennessee drug and alcohol center and other locations.

Partial hospitalization programs tend to be the most intensive level of outpatient care, sharing similarities with residential treatment. These programs require a significant time commitment, but at the end of the treatment day, clients can return home or if needed, to a sober living house.

The next step down from partial hospitalization in terms of offerings at Centric Behavioral health is an intensive outpatient program.

Then, there’s traditional outpatient treatment, with the most flexibility and opportunities for clients to explore their recovery and newly developed coping skills with a sense of accountability.

Aftercare Planning

Addiction recovery is a lifelong endeavor, and with that in mind, all treatment plans should include aftercare planning. This might mean living in a supportive housing environment, also known as sober living.

Aftercare planning can include connections with local 12-step groups or other support groups. It can also include referrals for therapy, medical appointments, and other needed services in a person’s local community.

Centric Behavioral Health has all levels of care available at not only our Tennessee drug and alcohol rehab center but also nationwide locations.
