How do I set up an appointment?

You can call ahead, e-mail, or come into the office. One of  our friendly staff members will  be glad to assist you.  

What can I expect at my first appointment?

The first appointment will be a little longer than the follow up appointments. You will need to bring a photo ID, proof of residency if you do not have a TN DL, and insurance card. There will be intake paperwork and screening in order to determine if you are appropriate for treatment. You will have  information explained to you such as patient rights and responsibilities. You will also be provided with an informed consent prior to initiation of treatment. 


Are your providers specialized in addiction?

Yes, our providers are all specialists in addiction medicine

Can my family come with me to office visits?

We highly recommend including your family support at all appointments. You will be asked to sign a release at intake to allow them to participate. Studies find that opiate addiction recovery is more successful with family support.

Will insurance cover your services and my medication? 


We are in Network with Amerigroup Tenncare and BlueCare Tenncare.  Other insurance providers in some cases will provide coverage for your medication and often times even out of network coverage for the visit. However, this varies among insurance carriers and we recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific coverages. 

How do I know if I qualify for addiction  treatment?

You will undergo a series of screens that will be combined with your medical history. We will also perform all necessary checks on the Controlled Substance Monitoring Database 

(CSMD).

How long are the appointments?

Since our providers provide patient centered treatments, there is not a set time for appointments. Each appointment will be based on the unique needs of the patient at that point in time. 

What types of medication(s) do the physicians prescribe?

If the patient is a candidate for medication assisted treatment, our physicians will likely utilize a medication with  buprenorphine for opioid addiction and Naltrexone for Alcohol addiction. Common buprenorphine based medications include Suboxone, Subutex, Zubsolv, or Bunavail. Naltrexone based medications include Vivitrol and Revia. Other medication may or may not be prescribed depending on the patient's unique needs.
