About Tennessee Valley Recovery Center
Tennessee Valley Recovery Center is an addiction treatment facility that provides substance use and mental health treatment. The Knoxville, Tennessee, location offers outpatient levels of care such as the partial hospitalization program and the intensive outpatient program.
Holistic Care Through Equine Therapy
Holistic therapy provides a non-traditional method to develop healthy coping skills and find life imbalances that may contribute to substance use. One of the holistic treatment options provided at this location is equine therapy.
After a specialist discusses what you should expect, you’ll meet the horses and slowly interact with them more with each session. As you get comfortable interacting with the horse, you can develop communication skills that will help you in your recovery from addiction.
Withdrawal Management Through Medication
Their program offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings for guests experiencing alcohol or opioid addiction. Medication will be combined with therapy that helps you understand the underlying causes of your substance use and develop relapse prevention strategies.
Helpful Treatment For Dual Diagnosis
The center specializes in co-occurring mental health treatment. Their team understands that many people who struggle with addiction also face other issues, and treating them together allows an integrative approach to recovery.
Some of the mental illnesses that your counselor can help you with include anxiety, postpartum depression and schizophrenia. Talk therapy may not be enough to treat mental illness in some cases. The staff is able to prescribe mental health medications such as antidepressants and mood stabilizers to help you in your recovery.
