Treatment Centers in Tennessee

Tennessee runs its publicly funded behavioral health and substance use services through the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, which contracts with providers across the state rather than operating most facilities directly. In practice that means availability differs a great deal between the Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville areas and the rural counties between them.

TennCare, the state Medicaid program, covers substance use and mental health treatment, though not every facility participates and participation can differ by program within one organization. If you are using TennCare, confirm the specific program by name rather than assuming an organization-wide answer.
