Tennessee Valley Healthcare System – Athens VA Clinic

Levels of care#

Detox

Detox treatment points straight ahead to ongoing care, because getting through withdrawal is only the start of treating a substance use disorder.

Inpatient / residential

Planning the step down to outpatient care takes up part of the day before an inpatient stay ends.

Partial hospitalization (PHP)

People in Tennessee who need more than evening programs often turn to day treatment. It brings fuller days of support without taking anyone away from home at night.

Outpatient

Outpatient care often picks up where a fuller program left off, with support continuing in Tennessee.

Aftercare support

Talking through next steps often begins weeks before discharge, when goals and support options are still open to change. This early planning gives a person a map for the months ahead.

Co-occurring disorders

A person with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time is living with co-occurring disorders. Care built for that pairing is available in Tennessee.

Sober living

The home runs on a handful of simple rules, with sobriety first and shared chores close behind.
