I came to this Web site after hearing it repeatedly recommended on the Dr Phil Show shown in Australia. I was surprised to see such negative feedback by at least 2 people.
About Onsite Workshops
The 250 acres at Onsite sit in the hills outside Nashville, in Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee. It’s a rehab center with hiking trails, horseback riding, yoga and a pool on the property, plus boutique accommodations for the group intensives held on campus.
People also come for its intensive outpatient program and for residential treatment at Milestones at Onsite, which lasts 30 to 90 days.
Psychodrama and Creative Expression
The intensive outpatient program at Onsite leans on psychodrama, in which a person acts out a scene from their own life with the group instead of only describing it. Groups also use creative expression to bring up difficult feelings and let them go.
Weekly group work runs alongside individual trauma counseling, and the therapists are drawn from across the country. Acting a scene out can show a person something about it that they had not seen before.
Outpatient Care After Residential Treatment
Onsite’s IOP is meant for people who want more support while they step down from a residential program or a therapeutic intensive. PTSD, depression, stress and trauma are among the concerns it takes on, and a weekly group keeps support in place during the transition out of residential care.
Onsite has guided people toward sustained emotional health for more than 45 years. It is not able to bill insurance.

Milestones at Onsite is a truly special place. I’ve been to dozens of programs over the years seeking help with my mental health, and Milestones was by far the best experience I’ve had.
From the moment I stepped onto the property, I felt comfortable and welcomed. The staff and the people in the program quickly began to feel like family. Sharing deeply personal and private parts of my life, something that normally does not come easily to me, felt surprisingly natural here. The staff genuinely cares about you and treats you like a person and a friend, rather than simply a patient.
I’ve spent a lot of my life stuffing difficult feelings down and avoiding them. Milestones helped bring those feelings to the surface and gave me a safe, supportive environment to finally work through them instead of continuing to bury them.
I’m incredibly grateful for my experience here and the people I met along the way. Worth every penny, and I would recommend Milestones without hesitation to anyone who is ready to do meaningful work on themselves.

Thank you for sharing this. It means more than we can say to know Milestones became a place where you felt safe enough to be known, supported, and do this deeply personal work. We’re so grateful you trusted us with this part of your story, and we’ll be cheering you on in all that comes next.
I went to Onsite during the hardest period in my personal life. The process helped me see and work through my attachment style and emotional reactivity. I left with tools, insight and taking responsibility for my side of relationships instead of outsourcing my peace. It helped me see my patterns, more clearly and honestly than before.
It’s not a magic fix, and the pain didn’t simply disappear. But facing it head-on showed me what type of person I am and gave me a real foundation along with life long friendships. I’m still doing the work, and I’m grateful I went even though it came at a great loss.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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
Onsite offers extra support after residential treatment or a therapeutic intensive. You use it while you are moving out of that care.
The IOP is a weekly group plus individual trauma counseling. It's a local program with individual counseling beside the group.
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.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a treatable condition characterized by uncontrolled consumption of alcohol which continues despite negative consequences. Treatment options for alcohol addiction include inpatient or outpatient alcohol rehab in Tennessee. Therapeutic methods include group and individual therapy, medication, and holistic therapies. Aftercare is often provided through 12-step support groups, which offer ongoing accountability and encouragement.
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 AddictionSubstance 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.
Families
Clinical Services
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.
Several kinds of creative expression are used to revisit and release hard emotions.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Eye Movement Desensitization And ReprocessingTypical 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.
