About Compass Intervention Center

Addiction-related services at this facility include inpatient addiction treatment, outpatient and intensive outpatient addiction treatment.

Inpatient addiction treatment
This program is for teens struggling with substance abuse and focuses on validating a history of trauma, building safe and healthy relationships, and navigating unhealthy coping mechanisms like addiction. Individuals learn to recognize the needs that are being met through drug use, the harm it’s causing, and how to live a drug-free lifestyle using The Seven Challenges method.

Outpatient addiction treatment
This is a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and is for teens who are able to live at home during treatment. The program includes scholastic classroom hours, psychoeducation and process groups, family and group therapy, and medication management if needed.

Intensive outpatient treatment
This program is for individuals who require less home and family disruption, and have a desire to receive intensive, therapeutic services while maintaining a normal routine. IOP is offered Monday through Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m and includes a detailed individualized recovery plan.

My husband and I are pleased with the results for our granddaughter. It took less than the original estimated time. We have our girl back and the worries are much lower. I will probably always look for signs of a relapse but I really feel she learned many new coping skills that she can use for the rest of her life. Thanks to all the Doctors, Therapists and staff. I know it was not an easy transition. She fought it for half of her stay. Bless all of you.

I am KaNiya White, and I consider myself a proud Compass veteran. I attended Compass PHP five times between the ages of 14 and 18 between 2021 and 2025. Compass truly helped shape who I am today. I often say I grew up there because many staff members knew me across multiple admissions and continued to support me. At times, it genuinely felt like a second family. PHP is not perfect. The days are long, there is limited outdoor time, frequent peer conflict, and you spend much of the day in the same spot. You are often expected to ignore peers who intentionally provoke you, group punishments can feel unfair, and the schoolwork is very basic, which can leave you behind academically. There were also a few staff members who were unprofessional at times, though they were NOT the majority. What mattered most was the support. Many staff members were a genuine shoulder to cry on during some of the hardest moments of my life. I've had deep, life changing one on one conversations with staff who truly cared about me as a person. I trusted them deeply and they know things about me that even my parents do not. I genuinely do not think I would be alive today without the help I received at Compass. I want to recognize staff who played an important role in my life. Mrs. Khalia, Nurse Nayla, Nurse Shylo, Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Loreda, Mrs. T, Mr. Travis, Mr. Zach, Mrs. V, Mrs. Tatianna, Mrs. Holloway, Mrs. Debra, Mr. Michael, Mrs. Katelyn, Nurse Connie, Mrs. Braden, Mrs. Kendra, Mrs. Kurshi, Mrs. Tamika, and Mrs. Trenika. Some no longer work there, but they deserve recognition for the impact they had on me. My therapist, Mr. Zach, had the greatest impact. He never gave up on me, pushed me out of my comfort zone in a healthy way, and helped me find my voice. He challenged me when I needed it and supported me when things were hard. He was the best therapist I have ever had. Despite its flaws, PHP also had meaningful positives. Step aways to talk privately with staff, process groups which were my favorite, the reward and Victory Bucks system, occasional art activities for victory members, and respect for preferred names and pronouns. When I first came to Compass at 14, I was shy, withdrawn, and unsure of myself. When I left for the final time at 18, I had confidence, stronger coping skills, motivation to live, and had worked through my trauma. Compass inspired me to pursue psychology. I am now in college majoring in Psychology and working toward becoming an LPC, and I hope one day to give back the way Compass once gave to me by being an intern there somehow. Overall, I am grateful for my time at Compass and for how much I grew there.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Compass Intervention Center works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient rehabs are designed principally for clients who require intensive supervision and support, including clients who have just completed detox, clients in early recovery, and clients at an elevated risk of relapse. Inpatient treatment helps clients stabilize following detox and prepares them to step-down into outpatient and/or community-based care. Clients reside at the facility for the duration of their program and engage in extensive addiction counseling and education. Many programs also offer evidence-based complementary therapies.

Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically have abstained from drugs or alcohol for a period of weeks or months and have completed high-level (often inpatient) treatment. Drug rehab aftercare is designed to support clients in maintaining their sobriety as they re-engage with their ordinary lives at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Services are highly individualized and evolve with clients' changing needs, but generally include peer coaching and relapse prevention.

When enrolld in an addiction recovery program that's based on the 12 step model, clients are able to cultivate recovery-focused life skills emphasizing spiritual, mental, and emotional healing. Participants receive intensive peer support in 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, open to the public, and available day and night in most communities. Self-selected sponsors guide sponsees through the recovery journey, cultivating self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, participants aren't required to be religiously affiliated.

A sober living home in Tennessee, also known as a halfway house, refers to a group residence for men or women who are recovering from addiction. These are usually privately owned homes or houses owned by a nonprofit or business. Most are located in quiet residential areas. Residents have their own rooms or share a room with one roommate, and they share common areas. Each resident pays rent and helps with household maintenance.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive outpatient option for those with moderate to severe addictions, allowing you to return home at the end of the day. It can be an alternative to hospitalization or used as a step-down option. PHP treatment requires a minimum of 20 hours of treatment per week for an average of 90 days. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment includes relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. PHP treatment is often covered by providers.

Clients in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) receive robust, personalized care to support their reintegration into their community. Clients stepping down from inpatient treatment frequently enroll in IOP before entering standard outpatient care or community-based recovery programs, such as AA. Intensive outpatient treatment generally involves between nine and 20 therapeutic hours weekly, with the frequency and duration of sessions decreasing as clients stabilize. IOP services commonly include counseling, recovery education, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Substance abuse treatment in Tennessee is available in addiction treatment centers, where experienced addiction professionals can treat both substance use disorders. Typically, clinicians use a range of evidence-based therapies such as a biopsychosocial assessment, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing to get a complete picture of your mental health, support systems, and motivation to change. Through an individualized treatment plan, you'll receive the support you need to achieve long-term sobriety through new skills and relapse prevention strategies.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Recreational therapy supports addiction recovery by giving you structured activities that promote physical and mental health. These help build a supportive network of your peers that promotes sobriety. Activities can include sports, creative arts, and outdoor adventures that help you reduce cravings, manage stress, and give you an emotional outlet.

If I could give it one star I would without hesitation. I've been here twice when I was a minor and both times it was horrible. There was hardly any respect for my gender identity and I was misgendered and dead named more here than probably in my entire life. Girls would jump other girls by waiting outside the day rooms for the door to open the barge their way in. On the weekends, we sat in the classrooms all day watching movies which doesn't sound too bad but after four months of this it gets hella boring. Also on the weekends because there was hardly any structure there were riots where doors were kicked down, glass doors were broken through and one girl ran out into the streets. The sheriff was called every weekend because of these riots. Near the end of my second stay in 2025, the girls figured out how to pop the sprinklers. The first time it happened it was the 400 hall and they had to relocate those girls to the acute building while they fixed the hall. Not long after, they were popped again on the 3 and 400 hundred halls. The boys on the 200 hall broke down to doors to the dining hall and jumped over the food counter. They came back with boxes of frozen deserts and started throwing them at those of us trying to stay out of trouble. I stood in a corner during all of this, white knuckle gripping my laundry basket holding the only two pairs of clothes I owned at the time. I was genuinely scared for my life, I won't lie. And if you're thinking 'if it was so bad the first time, why did you go back ?' I didn't have a choice. I was a minor and had no say in where I was going. But if you do have a choice, or you're thinking about sending your child here, please do not. It's dangerous and all I learned was how to lie so I'd get out quicker.

I am not writing this to be dramatic. I am writing this because I was a child who needed someone to listen to me, and I wish someone had. I was at Compass Intervention Center twice between 2020 and 2022. My parents voluntarily admitted me in December 2020 because they genuinely believed they were making the right decision. They wanted to help me. They trusted that this place would keep me safe and help me get better. Before my mom sent me there, she actually had concerns. She had seen the negative reviews people had left about Compass and questioned whether she was making the right decision by sending me there. According to my mom, those concerns were essentially dismissed by being told that the negative reviews came from "angry patients." My mom trusted that explanation. Six years later, she has told me she believes sending me there was a mistake. I still have nightmares about that place. My parents watched me come home as a shell of the person I had been. It took me years to trust someone enough to start talking about what happened and to begin processing the psychological impact it had on me. There were times when my mom wanted to pull me out. She has told me that she was warned that doing so could result in CPS becoming involved for medical neglect. Because she worked with children, she was terrified of taking that risk—even when everything in her wanted to get me out. One of the things I remember most clearly was what happened after my medication was changed. I don't remember exactly what medication it was, but I remember how drastically I changed. I couldn't control my emotions. I would explode into fits of rage. I would cry uncontrollably for hours. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I repeatedly begged to be taken off the medication because I knew something was wrong. What makes this memory even harder for me is that I was told that if I kept asking to come off the medication, I would get in trouble. I was a child. I was scared, I didn't understand what was happening to me, and I was trying to tell someone that I didn't feel right. Instead of feeling like I could safely speak up, I felt like I had to stop asking. Eventually, my mom demanded that I be taken off of it. Thank God she did. And before anyone assumes I was simply a "troubled teenager" who didn't want help, that's not what happened. After leaving Compass for the second time, I was eventually taken off all medication and properly reevaluated. I was told that the diagnoses I had previously been given were wrong and that the only diagnosis I actually had was ADHD—something my mom had specifically asked Compass to evaluate me for, and she says that request was refused. While I was there, I witnessed fights. I witnessed an incident where someone's head was smashed into a counter. I witnessed or heard about multiple suicide attempts. I was a child surrounded by other children who were struggling, and what I experienced did not feel like healing. It felt like surviving. I can't tell you what another patient's experience was. I can't tell you what every family will experience. I can only tell you what happened to me. And what happened to me stayed with me long after I left. Six years later, I am still processing it. So if you're a parent researching Compass Intervention Center because you desperately want to help your child, please stop and do your research before making that decision. Don't just look at the positive reviews. Don't automatically dismiss the negative ones as people being "angry patients." Ask questions. Talk to former patients and their families. Get another opinion. And if your child is telling you something is wrong, please listen to them. Don't assume that because a facility says it is helping your child, your child feels helped. I know my parents were trying to save me. I know they loved me. And I know they thought they were doing the right thing. But looking back now, I wish someone had listened when I said I wasn't okay. I am sharing this because I don't want another child to feel as alone and unheard as I did
