Discovery Place was just what I needed after bouncing around other treatments. So grateful that I landed there. The community aspect of the program really helped me out, seeing guys coming back to help out the next guy. Love this place.
About Discovery Place
Care starts with a 30-day residential program that will allow you to detox in a safe and supportive environment. After detox, you’ll begin working through a range of evidence-based and best-practice treatments including an in-depth 12 Step program to help you lay a strong foundation for the start of your sobriety.
Following this phase is the Long Term recovery program. This program continues with the 12 Step immersion approach but will include skills development so that you can build healthy habits to support your sobriety. Phase 3, or Step Down care, allows you to continue building those skills as you reintegrate into your life.
Discovery Place is unique in that after you complete the program, you will still have contact with staff and mentors even after your treatment plan is over. There are biweekly and monthly check-ins after you leave the facility to help encourage and motivate you long into your recovery.

Never thought I would ever say I've got 30 days sober let alone 6 months and counting! This group of people really give you a second family, a sober one! They not only help get you sober but teach you how to fill the time in your day and make it fun. I would recommend DP over anyone else for a new direction. All these guys have struggled and been through DP's program. Surround yourself with this group. We are all learning together everyday.

Absolutely wonderful experience. I love coming back for visits every chance I get. Thank you all and the founders for providing a place that can actually change our lives. If you have a love one that is struggling with substance abuse I would highly suggest DP. Best of all the staff have been in recovery themselves so they know first hand what you’re going through.

Still sober over 2 1/2 years. I owe my sobriety to god, meetings, sponsors and the 12 step program of AA. Discovery Place was definitely influential in my recovery. I really think Discovery Place is where you can build on the foundation of recovery and the tools to be successful. Kevin W.

Congratulations again on your recovery, and thank you for continuing to stay connected with us.—The Discovery Place Team
I came here very skeptical. It wasn’t my idea, and I was expecting to just endure my time here. What happened instead was actually life-changing. I expected a cold, clinical, psychiatric rehab setting. But Discovery Place is a homey, comfortable, community based retreat. Every single staff member has walked through the doors looking for help, and been through the program themselves. And it shows in their compassion and understanding.
What surprised me the most was the sense of community. Every Friday, former guests come out for Family Night and that’s when I started to realize it’s more than just a program, it’s an ongoing fellowship of recovery. This is a place to truly retreat, learn about and the 12 steps, learn about yourself, and foster a spiritual experience.
My outlook on life has completely changed. Looking back now, with the way I had been thinking and living, I can’t imagine finding real sobriety let alone happiness without a place like this, and I’m deeply grateful for that.

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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient rehabs enable clients to receive care without leaving their home, workplace, and community. Clients typically receive intensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Many programs promote clients' long-term sobriety through recovery-focused life skills training and ancillary services, such as peer coaching. Medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance, are common in outpatient care. Most facilities offer multiple levels of care to accommodate clients' evolving needs, including intensive outpatient (IOP) and standard outpatient programming.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. This program allows men to experience an in-depth introduction to the principles of recovery in a healthy, welcoming atmosphere. Men will be guided through the 12 steps as directed in the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Guests reguarly attend outside and in-house recovery meetings, experience engaging recovery guest speakers and learn to rebuild skills necessary for transition into a life of sustained sobriety.
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.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
To keep you safe and comfortable during the detoxification process, a medically assisted detox provides you with a team of medical professionals who can provide the necessary medications to treat any potential withdrawal symptoms. Suddenly stopping chronic abuse of substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
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.
Clinical Services
Typical cognitive behavioral therapy in Tennessee involves recognizing negative thinking and learning techniques to change that thinking and create new, positive behaviors. Strategies may include SMART goals, journaling, and situation exposure.
Counseling in Tennessee that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach can last from six to 12 months. During that time, you'll develop skills in the areas of distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
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.
Trauma therapy is a safe place to work through the lingering effects of traumatic events in your life. Your therapist will help you understand the physical and emotional responses that can develop after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. You then work toward developing healthier coping mechanisms to reduce your symptoms.
While engaged in couples therapy in Tennessee, you'll learn how to trust, communicate, forgive, and manage emotions. Developing these skills can be beneficial at any time during the relationship, but they are particularly crucial when facing life challenges.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
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.
