Horrible experience, horrible place, I'm very disappointed with the attention I received from this place, the staff is very unprofessional. I find ridiculous that they separate families and that they don't inform them of the progress of their loved one because they think tha ...
About Middle Tn Mental Health Institute: Saha Nihar R MD
When you stay here, you’ll have access to a comprehensive care team that includes a social worker, psychiatrist, care coordinator, and nursing staff. If you need medical services or recreational therapy while you’re in the program, they can connect you to those services, too. During the day, you’ll participate in counseling sessions, recovery focused education, and life skills training to help you prepare for life in recovery.
Something I like about the program is that you’ll have access to lots of amenities that make it feel like home. They offer on site beautician services, pastoral care, and dietician services. There’s even an on site pharmacy. There’s no limit to how long you can stay here because your timeline depends on your personal needs and legal status.
While the program is comprehensive in nature, most former participants are unhappy with the level of care they received here. They note unsanitary living conditions, unprofessional conduct by the staff members, and difficulty with administrative aspects like scheduling and insurance.

Select staff were professional in their roles. Taking my mental health seriously and ending up in here instead of Vanderbilt due to insurance reasons, respectfully, caused me to ask if I could just be transferred to a jail despite not being a criminal. The unnerving silence of the place and the disrespect to patients was sickening.
If you are concerned about your mental health, heed my words, you will fare better committing a crime than going here.
Truly finished my stance on all facilities in my state (Kentucky) and Tennessee. Other than Vanderbilt.
If you have insurance, Vandy all the way. Otherwise, there’s a highly likely chance afyer
leaving here, you will commit a crime or harm yourself.
I wish I could give this facility a zero like I really do. So back in the spring I had a mental breakdown from being overworked and still homeless even though I have not been jobless for more than a month in 11 years and my son and I cannot seem to get any sort of help to get housing covered and I wanted to call myself I was taken to possibly the worst hospital I've ever been to in my life it was called teNova I was held there for 5 days in the ER and secured holding area with no medical attention no help whatsoever and completely told that I was a pain in the ass because of my autism making it so that I was difficult to get placed also because the only place I could go was the Middle Tennessee so a bed opened up and I was transferred I was there for 4 days the entire time I tried to explain to them I am not bipolar I'm autistic and a mental health breakdown they flat out refuse to believe me I asked if they would like my DSM-5 diagnosis I was told that because my diagnosis is from another state they don't believe that I have autism. I was not given food that I can eat I tried to explain to them why with my food issues I could not eat them I gave them a list of things that I could eat such as chicken white bread and potatoes every meal I was there I received a piece of cold undercooked chicken that looked as though it had been digested before plated and some kind of potato that I don't even think instant would look at and say that's a potato. They do not have like therapy there at all it is just a locked you in a room and they stare at you and you're in a room full of other people that are totally having mental crisis themselves and then they give you like a deck of cards it's basically as if they were adult babysitting I think I saw the doctor once or maybe 5 minutes and by this point it's 8 days from my actual attempt I am no longer in a manic State and they're still holding me trying to get me to take drugs that I refuse to pay the one day I did take them I nearly ripped the table off the floor and threw it across the room because they refused to listen when I said that I cannot take ssris they messed with my autism but because they refuse to believe I'm autistic they then when oh no you're bipolar you these meds then when they discharged me the place they discharged me to for outpatient hasn't been able to get me a single appointment we are now like 5 months later I have not had a single therapy appointment all I've had is intakes and zoom calls but no actual therapy
They force drugs on you, give you no option even if you’re cooperative and act right. The staff was rude and forceful. They treat you like you’re a criminal in prison.

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.
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
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.
Treatments
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.
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
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.
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.
Family therapy uses a structured environment to address the complexities of addiction and the negative influences it has on the family unit. Therapists work with family members to develop effective coping and communication strategies that support their loved one's recovery while also focusing on the health and well being of each family member.
Life skills training teaches you how to cope with challenging situations in non destructive ways. This crucial piece of drug rehab in Tennessee gives you tools for decision making, relationship building, and self care.
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.
