About Hermitage Hall
Addiction and mental health related services offered at Hermitage Hall are for adults, military personnel, and vets. Services include co-occurring disorder programs, clinical assessments and comprehensive treatment planning, integrated outpatient treatment programs, inpatient detox treatment, counseling, court mandated programs, medication assisted treatment, trauma therapy, and a residential treatment program for children.
Biopsychosocial assessments help clinicians to determine whether a person demonstrates features of substance use disorders and/or co-occurring mental health conditions and their severity. Once the severity of the condition is determined, clinicians can then decide on the appropriate level of care and intervention required. Counseling therapies at Hermitage Hall include individual counseling, group therapy, suicide prevention, trauma therapy, motivational interviewing, behavior modification, cognitive behavioral therapy, and family counseling.
Individuals with substance use disorder who use alcohol and/or drugs regularly may have a physical dependence on a substance and experience withdrawal symptoms if they stop abruptly. Hermitage Hall supports patients in these circumstances through the process of recovery by first comfortably detoxifying and removing the substances from their bodies. Patients are medically monitored to ensure safety and comfort and may receive medication to support the process.
The inpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment program at Hermitage Hall uses evidence based practices to treat addiction and co-occurring conditions. Therapeutic interventions include a mental health assessment, a comprehensive treatment plan, medication management, individual and group therapy, medication assisted treatment, relapse prevention planning, physical therapy, couples and family counseling, education groups, family therapy, and follow up care.
Medication assisted treatment is the use of certain medications in combination with behavioral therapy, which reduce the risk of relapse and increase recovery longevity. The MAT program at Hermitage Hall includes counseling, support groups, and medication management in an outpatient setting. This program is appropriate for alcohol and substance use disorders and is available to adults. As program participants progress and stabilize, in person office appointments tend to become less frequent.
The treatment team at Hermitage Hall may receive court ordered detoxification, and addiction treatment referred participants, which require them to complete treatment to avoid criminal charges. Following participation in a full residential program, the participants may then be required to attend an outpatient program or follow up regularly with their treatment team and recovery support groups.
Hermitage Hall accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, state funding, private insurance plans, and self pay.

My daughter was a patient here for the last 6months. They went above and beyond. First, they always called me when things happened good or bad. The staff was always professional. My daughter was placed in holds because she had trouble with self harm and it was to keep her safe. They kept her safe. I am very pleased with the staff at the facility.
Therapeutically, There is a therapist named Miss Jasmine that works there. She was able to really help my daughter find herself. She helped her process all of her troubles and find solutions to her problems instead of excuses. When my daughter talks with me now, she has answers to the why she does what she does instead of the “idk” words and never processing anything. Therapy weekly was raw, uncomfortable but truly helpful and it has forever changed my daughter’s life. Miss Jasmine was amazing at helping my daughter with realizing reality and helping her understand what is real and not real and having realistic coping skills. Every other therapy we have been through is unlike this. The therapy was just over my expectations. I would give it a 10 star if I could.
The doctors and administrators kept to their word. They didn’t let my daughter take a visit when she didn’t level up. They have a system where you must level up to get visitation. It took my daughter 5 months to level up and I’ll tell you.. that time was needed. I trusted them.. they lead us in the right direction. My daughter went in 8/21 and leveled up to a freshman in 4 months and the sophomore before she went home this month.
Words cannot express how thankful I am that we had my daughter go here for treatment. It was one of the hardest things as parents to do this and spend that much time away from them. But we did it and she has reaped the benefits. If you are thinking of using hermitage hall. You should. We have used another place and we didn’t have a good turn out. This place is great and they are real with the kids and provide a safe and therapeutic environment.

I was a resident at this facility for 6 months and got nothing but the best from my therapist Ms. Jasmine and the staff I encountered. I am very pleased with the help, and I have learned a lot of this while at this facility and am very happy with this program

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
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.
Clients placed at Hermitage Hall with a secondary diagnosis of substance use/abuse/dependency may also receive alcohol and drug counseling. These services are provided in addition to the other specialty services provided in each program. These services can consist of individual or group treatment for substance issues.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
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.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
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.
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.
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.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
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.
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.
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.
Often, youth enter into residential treatment due to behavioral and emotional instabilities that have resulted in unsuccessful interactions with society. Many facilities focus on the remediation of these behaviors as the goal of treatment. At Hermitage Hall, they view these interactions as symptoms of an underlying issue. Trauma Informed Care provides for an environment and specialized services that are responsive to the unique needs of trauma survivors. Emphasis is placed on “what has happened to the child” rather than “what is wrong with the child.” A deep understanding of survivors and their symptoms in the context of their life experiences guides their care.
