Core Treatment Programs
Knoxville Recovery Center focuses on providing intensive, on-site care to build a strong foundation for recovery. Their programs are designed to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction in a supportive, immersive setting.
Typical Length: 3 to 7 Days
The first step for many clients, medical detox provides 24/7 care from nurse practitioners and medical staff. This process ensures withdrawal symptoms are managed safely and comfortably, preparing the client to fully engage in the therapeutic aspects of residential treatment.
Typical Stay: 2 to 4 Weeks
Following detox, the residential program provides a highly structured schedule of individual and group therapy. Clients live on-site, focusing entirely on their recovery without outside distractions. The program integrates evidence-based therapies with holistic and wellness activities to treat the whole person.

Support, Staff & Community
Information on the care team, family involvement, and peer environment.
Care is provided by a specialized clinical team. The medical staff consists primarily of Nurse Practitioners, with a Medical Director (MD) on staff for consultation on complex medical cases. The team also includes licensed therapists, counselors, and support staff.
The program is co-ed for adults (18+) and has a total capacity of 36 clients. You will be in a community of peers from various backgrounds, all of whom have private insurance and are committed to recovery. While groups are mixed-gender, housing is in separate wings.
No, on-site family visitation is not permitted. The program focuses on the individual's intensive early recovery. Family involvement is facilitated through phone calls and therapist-led communication as clinically appropriate.
They offer comprehensive aftercare planning. Case managers work with each client to create a detailed discharge plan, which can include referrals to step-down levels of care like PHP or IOP, sober living arrangements, and connecting with local support groups. They also have an active alumni network and events.
Inpatient addiction treatment, also called residential treatment, requires clients to live at the facility full-time, providing 24/7 medical supervision, structured daily therapy, and a supportive environment free from outside triggers or distractions. It’s ideal for individuals needing intensive care, detoxification, or a stable space to focus entirely on recovery. Outpatient addiction treatment, on the other hand, allows clients to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions and treatment appointments during the week. This option offers more flexibility for work, school, or family responsibilities but requires strong self-discipline and a stable home environment to maintain recovery.
The medical team is primarily composed of Nurse Practitioners, with a Medical Director (MD) available for complex cases. The facility does not have dedicated psychiatrists or psychologists on staff; mental health care is delivered by licensed therapists and counselors as part of the dual diagnosis program.
