They’re a community behavioral healthcare provider with over 60 years of experience delivering accessible substance use recovery and mental health support for over two million Tennesseans across 51 counties in the Middle, Southeast and Upper Cumberland regions.

Chattanooga campus offers an outpatient environment where you can receive focused care to address substance use issues and co-occurring disorders. They’re situated along Bell Avenue near Highway 27 in the North Shore neighborhood. This location is five miles northeast of the popular Lookout Mountain, 1.5 miles north of Tennessee Aquarium and a short walk south of Coolidge Park. Downtown is just 1 mile south. CARTA Bus Route 4 stops a few blocks from the facility.
24/7 Crisis Support & Stabilization
The Chattanooga campus includes crisis stabilization units for patients with acute mental health or substance use disorder crises. Crisis support focuses on stabilizing patients, minimizing immediate risks and linking them to appropriate ongoing care. Crisis Services include medical detox beds for short term medically supervised withdrawal. Teams provide crisis counseling by phone, in person, and via mobile units.
Complete Recovery Support Including Addiction Medicine
General and intensive outpatient (IOP) care meets the diverse needs of people in recovery. Both are flexible programs so you receive care without disrupting your job and other commitments. Services involve recovery-focused therapy groups that equip you with practical sober skills that foster resilience and prevent relapse. We particularly like that the facility offers telehealth, which means you can receive therapy using secured video conferencing.
People with opioid use disorders are supported through medication-assisted treatment. This technique involves using meds approved by the FDA to manage painful withdrawal symptoms. This can be particularly helpful if you struggle with co-occurring disorders. The facility offers pretrial diversion plus specialized support for families of veterans. They also provide supportive housing and homeless assistance via a specialized program called PATH. This can form part of their recovery support services as you move on.
