About Midway Rehab Center
Their inpatient program allows recovering individuals access to comprehensive care as they move through their recovery. Care is tailored to an individual’s unique needs and includes counseling, addiction education, skills development, and other support.
Their outpatient program allows recovering individuals to maintain their sobriety but with a more flexible treatment plan. When you sign into this program, you’ll still have access to many of the services offered in inpatient care.
They’re pretty unique in that their mission is to empower recovering individuals to take responsibility for their choices. They believe that all residents have the power to make the right choices concerning their sobriety. This message of inner power is echoed through both treatment programs.
This facility is state-licensed and follows HIPAA regulations. Please note that your car and belongings are subject to search. You’ll also have periodic drug and urine screenings as well. Check out their FAQ for more details.

Door dashed to Amanda M a worker here and she only tipped $1.. hate to be this petty, but as a DoorDash driver I’m over people thinking we do this for free/fun. If you don’t want to leave a reasonable tip go get your own food!

So…this is my 15th day here. I’m still holding my breathe over giving all 5 stars BUT… I won’t be able to much longer since I’ve put on 4 pounds since being here and my jeans are fitting a lot snugger! The food here is never BAD. In fact most days it’s GREAT! Something people that have left previous reviews must have forgot is…they don’t HAVE TO be here! They could’ve stayed or if they want go BACK to prison. Being here IS part of your prison sentence. Whatever amount of time spent here IS the time remaining on each residents sentence. The last year or last six months of any inmates sentence can be spent HERE. Inmates DO NOT have to come here for their 1/2 way house. Being here is a privilege! In two weeks time they’ve helped me get enrolled in a trade school. NO COST to me! FREE! New backpack FREE! …aaaand $25 gift card for signing up for a class they’re paying for! Yes they’re rules but rents free they feed you three meals a day, between meals they’ll give you a peanut butter sandwich WITH jelly! Life is what ya make it people, stay positive!

Well….. First off let me say this is NO rehabilitation center. I really went in to this with a huge positive attitude and I’m still positive but…. I feel like the true light is beginning to shine through. There are some sketchy things that I’ve noticed that happen here and I’m not talking about what the clients do! There are a few really good employees that work here, I said a “few!” The others don’t seem like bad people they just seem like the type of employees that work at one of them places where management has let some rules bend a few too many times, did some short cutting and maybe some corner hopping and now maybe the employees say “well it was ok to do that so there shouldn’t be anything wrong with me doing this” and it’s happened over and over for so long now that it’s getting worse and worse! Look I think it’s a given if the employees aren’t happy the clients aren’t going to be happy. The reviews on “indeed” what it’s like to work at Midway say it best. I’ve seen some other things that I can’t prove so I’m not gonna speak on it but let’s just say this place is funded by the federal government and usually places like that get way too much money for what requirements are supposed to be met….

Stay as far as you can away from this place. These people WANT to see you do bad. It's ridiculous! When I first arrived it seemed all right. The place is clean and being freshly out of prison deep fried food seemed great. I could go on but... I'd say it's not worth my time and then i think well maybe it'd help someone in the future.... If you're sent here there's not gonna be much you can do about it so it's not like you have a choice to go somewhere else. You've been sent here from federal prison then it's your jurisdiction and these people here ARE NOT going to help you transfer somewhere else. Thank God it's my last day here. If I knew...... I would have turned down the 6 months of halfway house and stayed in prison and dodged this whole place. This place is Bad, it's BAD! If there is a way you can find to NOT come here for God's sake DON"T COME HERE! If you're a family member of a loved one that is a client here. Pray for them.... this-is-not-a-good-place! I will say this there is a few staff members i will really miss. There are a few that are real people and care but there's not many. These people are on a power trip. STAY AWAY! I seriously would have stuck it out in prison if I knew this place was going to be so petty. It just don’t make sense for people to want to see others do bad. They change the rules as they go to accommodate them.
Look: if you don’t believe ME take a look at the “working for midway” reviews on indeed or any of these places they hire through. If the employees aren’t happy do you really think the clients are going to be!? The reviews on indeed for working at Midway are waaaaaaay worse than the reviews left on Google by clients!!!!

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
In Tennessee, group therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction typically involve skill development to help you learn communication techniques and relapse prevention strategies. These strategies support your transition into the community and help you maintain long term sobriety.
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.
