Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pay for rehab?

Most rehab facilities in Tennessee accept private insurance, self-pay, and sometimes offer financing options. It's best to contact the admissions department of your chosen facility to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment plans. State-funded options and TennCare may also be available for those who qualify.

What is the difference between inpatient and outpatient?

Inpatient (or residential) treatment requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive, highly structured environment. Outpatient treatment (like PHP or IOP) allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family commitments.

Why choose Tennessee for treatment?

Tennessee is a great choice for addiction treatment, offering a blend of top-tier clinical care and restorative natural settings. From the vibrant music-centric recovery community in Nashville to the tranquil, healing environment of the Great Smoky Mountains, the state provides diverse backdrops for healing and self-discovery.

What should I bring with me to rehab?

You should typically bring about a week's worth of comfortable clothing, essential toiletries (alcohol-free), your ID and insurance card, and a list of important phone numbers. Most facilities will provide a detailed packing list. Leave valuables, electronics, and non-prescribed medications at home.

How to Choose a Rehab Center in Tennessee

When comparing alcohol and drug rehab centers in Tennessee, consider clinical quality, level of care, location, and practical factors like insurance coverage or out-of-pocket cost. Many facilities in Nashville and Murfreesboro offer a full continuum of care, while rehabs in rural areas often emphasize smaller, retreat-style settings. Use this checklist when comparing rehab centers in Tennessee so you can match the level of care to your needs.

Level of care: Does the program offer medical detox, residential treatment, and/or outpatient care?
Co-occurring care: Can they treat co-existing mental health conditions like depression, PTSD, or anxiety?
Insurance & payment: Are they in-network with your health plan or willing to verify benefits up front?
Specialty programs: Look for tracks for teens, veterans, professionals, or gender-specific care if relevant.
