The duration of treatment at Helen Ross McNabb Center CenterPointe - Adult Services in Knoxville can require weeks or even months depending on the severity of the condition as there is a risk of relapse.

Opioid + Opiate Addiction Treatment

Opioid addiction treatment typically involves an inpatient stay at facilities like Helen Ross McNabb Center CenterPointe - Adult Services to make sure they get through withdrawal safely. Treatment also includes comprehensive mental health counseling.
Levels of Care
This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Aftercare Support, Detox, Drug Rehab, Outpatient, Residential, with additional therapies available as listed below.
One of the first things an addict should do when entering treatment is to abstain from using illicit drugs completely. Depending on the length of time that the person has been using, the addict may have to go through alcohol or drug withdrawal. Fortunately, detox doesn’t have to be done alone, and withdrawal symptoms can be managed medically in an inpatient or outpatient setting. While detox may be uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening. Detoxification allows the addict to rid the body of all traces of drugs or alcohol and gives the addict a clean slate for their recovery.
To assist with alcohol or opioid abuse, or a co-occurring condition, Helen Ross McNabb Center CenterPointe - Adult Services offers an outpatient treatment program. For their rehabilitation and other services, the Tennessee patient will go to the treatment center, yet return home every night. After most of the program is completed, the level of mandatory participation reduces.
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.
Treatment is just a first step in sustaining sobriety. After rehabilitation, counseling for aftercare helps the person adapt to a life without drugs. A sober living facility in Knoxville, job therapy, or educational assistance may be included in this service, managed by Helen Ross McNabb Center CenterPointe - Adult Services.
