Our Johnson City directory page features only licensed and accredited providers who serve Johnson City and the Tri-Cities.
Our listings are based on the levels of care a facility provides and who it serves and what payment options are available.
We look at licensures and accreditations and the clarity of the information the clinic provides when we rank our listings. We're careful to highlight specialized and in-demand services, such as medication assisted treatment or medical detox, dedicated tracks for unique patient populations or financial help.
Sponsored placements are labeled as such. A listing's position is not a clinical endorsement. Never enroll in any program until you've verified their services, availability and payment.

Rehab Costs in Northeast Tennessee
The cost of addiction treatment in Johnson City varies widely depending on what services you get and how long you're in treatment. It also depends on whether a program is public or private and what your insurance covers.
Medical detox and residential care involve supervision around the clock and so they're generally the most expensive. Treatment with medications falls somewhere in between.
Local figures track Tennessee averages. Most people will pay far less than the listed price once they apply insurance or TennCare or a fee based on income.
$139,540

Most people don't pay these amounts out of pocket. TennCare covers the costs of many addiction recovery services for eligible members but not everyone qualifies.
An unusually high number of programs in Johnson City take TennCare. There are also a high number of programs that base their fees on a sliding scale or other financial help.
TDMHSAS funded treatment provides care based on income if you don't qualify for other kinds of financial aid. Treatment scholarships can often help with private programs as well.
Level of care: outpatient costs less than residential care or medical detox
Length of stay: 30, 60, or 90 days for residential care
Insurance: private plans and TennCare lower out-of-pocket cost
Sliding scale: income-based fees and state-funded care for those who qualify

TennCare (Medicaid)
TennCare is Tennessee's Medicaid program. It covers substance use treatment to include medication assisted treatment for eligible members through managed care plans.

The VA Mountain Home Healthcare System also serves veterans and other beneficiaries and there is a range of additional resources for military personnel and their families throughout the area.
Insurance and Private Pay
Most health plans have to cover substance use treatment as an essential health benefit under federal law. Your final costs will depend mainly on your deductible and copay. Your insurance provider and the clinic's admissions team can help you verify your costs.
The following are some of the major plans you'll see in Tennessee.

Levels of Care in Johnson City
The centers listed for Johnson City cover the major levels of care. That runs from medical detox and residential inpatient programs to outpatient clinics and dual diagnosis treatment.
You can learn more about he levels of care below.
3 medical detox programs
4 inpatient rehab programs
10 standard outpatient clinics
9 dual diagnosis programs
Medical detox
Medical detox is often the safest way to start recovery. It's especially important if you have a significant physical dependence on alcohol, opioids or other drugs. When you're in medical detox, you'll be monitored around the clock. You'll also get medication approved by the FDA to ease withdrawal symptoms and improve safety.
Inpatient and Residential Rehab
Inpatient care isn't as intensive as medical detox but you still will usually be monitored around the clock. Clinical staff will be on hand to offer medical and mental health support whenever you need it. People usually go into inpatient and residential treatment if they've just completed detox but still need a lot of hands-on care.
It's also helpful for people who don't have a stable and substance-free environment to continue their recovery.
Outpatient treatment
Outpatient care is the most common level in Johnson City. People live at home and keep working or studying while attending scheduled treatment. It often follows residential care as a step down.
Dual diagnosis care
Nine local programs treat people dealing with addiction and a mental health condition at the same time. That's a high share for a city this size. These programs address conditions like depression, anxiety or PTSD alongside the substance use disorder. Treating both together tends to work better than treating either one alone.
