Phone by a window

Reaching out for a spouse, a child, a parent, or a friend is a meaningful step. Treatment advisors staff the helpline; they listen first, then lay out what options are available. Working with licensed providers across Tennessee, they can help you understand levels of care, insurance questions, and what to expect. The call costs nothing, stays confidential and nothing is mandatory for you. This site does not treat or diagnose individuals. Our part is simply helping you find the right questions and the right people to talk with.

What to have on hand for the call

  • Insurance card or proof of coverage, if you have one. Many Tennessee facilities accept private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, and advisors can check which programs fit.
  • The substances involved and how long they have been used. This helps advisors suggest the appropriate level of care, such as detox or outpatient.
  • Any medications the person takes, including prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs, so withdrawal risk can be discussed with medical staff.
  • Past treatment experiences, if any. Knowing what has or has not helped before can guide the conversation.
  • A preferred location or travel distance, so advisors can focus on facilities near home or family support.

Where things go after you hang up

When you call, a treatment advisor will ask a few questions and then walk through the options with you. They may suggest you contact your insurer to confirm benefits, or check whether a facility holds accreditation from the Joint Commission or CARF. If alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal is a concern, they will make clear that clinical supervision should guide it and that any tapering belongs only with a doctor. The aim is a choice grounded in solid information, with no pressure whatsoever. You are welcome to call again as often as you need.
