Tennessee Detox Center

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and are 8 other centers inside 14 miles if neither suits.

They handle detox for alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and La Vergne has 8 other centers to compare.

Yes. Court ordered treatment is one of the things they take, and one of 12 things they offer a named program for.

Alongside this, La Vergne has 31 NA meetings and 1 free AA meeting.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of La Vergne.

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. What a program arranges for the weeks after discharge says more about it than anything in its own description. Ask who you would actually be treated by, and what their license is.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look at what to change rather than repeat.

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Colleges handle this through a medical leave process, which normally leaves a better record than an incomplete semester. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
