Recovery life

Found a gabapentin pill in a container of markers that children ages 4-9 were using to color at a Recovery/Sobriety Halloween event held at 712 Boggs Ave/Steps house program which children were welcome to attend.This was a Halloween event, it would not have taken much for a child to mistake it as candy, which was being given out.I brought the pill to a woman who brushed it off and said it wasn't ill-intent.When I was an addict, it wasn't ill-intent, but wrong is wrong.A man standing next to her said "that looks like gabapentin" a known abused prescription drug; she says"oh that is mine".The man shook his head and continued cleaning up, wasn't rude or nasty acting and showed some understanding to my disgust and frustration.Gave her her pill back with markers; My daughter doesn't need to be touching anything in there at this point. I walked back over to my daughter who asked for another marker, I told her she could finish it home, but realized it wasn't our coloring book. I walked over to a different person standing next to her, who kind of gave direction through out the event, different guy standing on the other side of the gabapentin lady, who witnessed me giving her pill and markers back, who later claimed to be the owner but gave no name, a few folks said this persons name was Jody McClurg. I asked him if I could keep the coloring book to take home to avoid any trouble from the same woman as I was beyond grossed out and disappointed and honestly extremely hard for me to even look at at this point, he pointed at the gabapentin lady and said I would have to ask her. I responded, " I'm sure she wouldn't mind" considering the whole pill mixed in with markers issue. Jody started laughing and scoffing and asked who I was there with, I told him I heard of this event through the recovery community and was there with just my daughter and I. Mr. Jody continued with "you know you already brought up your concerns and you need to leave, or you will be escorted out, it's not like you found heroine in the markers" which I responded that "you can insult me about my concerns and sweep it under the rug all you want but that comment right there is a prime example that shows Steps program, and you, really don't stand for anything relating to recovery, your pretty gross to justify the situation in that manner" definitely with a raised tone at this point He told me I was going to be escorted out again, I laughed and said nothing else to him, walked back over to my daughter, she gave the book back and we walked to the car. Jody continued to walk over to my vehicle and said "like I said it's not like you found heroine" continuing to justify the gross misconduct from the lady and him as he continued his way to his green jeep he easily didn't need to come near me to get to. His character said alot. To see the CEO/owner Jody McClurg of Steps house behave like this, standing firm on the mentality and to repeat 'it's not like you found heroine in the markers, go ahead and call who you want, I'm the coordinator and CEO' and to think no one else is going to know because he is 'top dog', and to continue to run his mouth after I got to my car and was leaving as asked to moments ago, says alot about the reoccurring wreckless behavior, gross misconduct and lack of accountability goes against everything a person considered a pillar in recovery and owner/operator of a recovery program/halfway house should stand for. I'm sure if there's any cameras there, what I am saying will be found as the truth, but I am also sure Mr. Jody controls that too Stay away from this place and the people who represent recovery under the Step house name because none of this is what true recovery and sobriety is about. Will not be back to events here as they are not safe for recovering addicts and children. It's known that many residents at Steps house are continuing addiction with justifications of "well the doctor prescribed it to me" as it is but to witness this from the owner, I now no longer wonder why. He's a slumlord over a halfway house at best. Shameful

Rehab Score

Our Methodology

Scoring is assigned by a proprietary system which helps surface key metrics that determine quality. The 10-point scale factors in categories such as operations, customer satisfaction, and trust metrics. Read Full Methodology

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Inpatient

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.

12-Step

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).

Aftercare Support

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.

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 Program

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.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

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 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.
