Level of care
Insurance & cost
Specialized programs
Most people pay for rehab with health insurance. 256 facilities in Tennessee accept private insurance and 249 accept Medicaid (TennCare). Under the Affordable Care Act and federal parity law, most plans must cover addiction treatment much like other medical care, though deductibles, prior authorization and network rules apply.
Without insurance, 159 programs report state or SAMHSA block-grant funding for people who qualify, and 122 offer sliding-scale fees based on income. What you pay depends mostly on the level of care: outpatient programs cost far less than residential rehab or medically managed detox.

Rehab guide
Your Tennessee rehab guide
Treatment options in Tennessee range from outpatient counseling a few hours a week to medically supervised detox and 24-hour residential programs. Of the 326 facilities listed here, 54 offer detox, 51 provide residential (inpatient) treatment, 252 offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and 14 are federally certified opioid treatment programs that dispense methadone.
The right level of care depends on how severe the substance use is, whether withdrawal could be dangerous, other health conditions and the support you have at home. A clinical assessment, often free over the phone, is the usual first step.
249 facilities in Tennessee report accepting Medicaid (TennCare) and 256 accept private health insurance. Under the Affordable Care Act and federal parity law, most health plans must cover substance use disorder treatment on terms comparable to other medical care, though prior authorization and network rules apply.
If you have no insurance, 159 programs in Tennessee report government or SAMHSA block-grant funding, which can pay for treatment for people who qualify. Many others offer sliding-scale fees based on income.
The Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (TDMHSAS) oversees publicly funded substance use treatment in Tennessee. The REDLINE (call or text) gives free referrals to addiction treatment, including state-funded programs for people without insurance. Visit the agency.
For a free referral, contact the Tennessee REDLINE at 1-800-889-9789.
Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, so most adults without children qualify for TennCare only with very low income or a disability. If you don't qualify, look at Marketplace plans, which may be low-cost with subsidies, or state-funded programs.
In Tennessee, the law allows a court to order involuntary treatment for a substance use disorder in limited circumstances, usually when the person is a danger to themselves or others or cannot care for themselves. An order can last up to six months for outpatient treatment; inpatient stays have no fixed length but must be reviewed at least every six months. Laws and procedures change, so contact the local court clerk or an attorney before filing.
If you or someone else is in danger, call 911. For a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). SAMHSA's National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357, is free, confidential and open 24/7 for treatment referrals.

Our directory lists 326 licensed substance use treatment facilities in Tennessee, based on SAMHSA's FindTreatment.gov data (updated October 2026). Listings include outpatient, residential, detox and medication-assisted treatment programs.
Yes. 54 programs in Tennessee offer detoxification (medically supervised withdrawal) services. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous, so medical supervision is strongly recommended.
249 facilities in Tennessee report accepting Medicaid (TennCare). Coverage depends on your plan and the program's network, so confirm before admission.
256 facilities in Tennessee accept private health insurance. Benefits vary by plan (deductibles, prior authorization, in- vs. out-of-network). Call (833) 589-6933 for a free insurance check.
51 facilities in Tennessee offer residential (inpatient) treatment, where you live on site 24/7 while in care. Learn more about inpatient rehab.
Yes. 252 programs in Tennessee use FDA-approved medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone or methadone. See our guide to MAT.
Residential programs commonly run 28 to 30 days, with longer stays of 60 to 90 days for more severe addiction, and detox alone usually takes 3 to 10 days. The National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that most people need at least three months of treatment, across all levels of care, to significantly reduce or stop drug use, and that longer treatment is linked to better outcomes. 51 facilities in Tennessee offer residential care.
Most people use private health insurance, Medicaid (TennCare), Medicare or TRICARE, which are required to cover substance use treatment. People without insurance may qualify for state- or SAMHSA-funded programs (159 in Tennessee report this funding) or sliding-scale fees. Call (833) 589-6933 for a free benefits check.
Cost depends mainly on the level of care and your coverage. Outpatient counseling is the least expensive; intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization cost more; residential rehab and medically managed detox cost the most because they include 24-hour care. With insurance, your share is set by your deductible, copays and out-of-pocket maximum, so verify benefits with the program before admission.
Yes. Many people travel for treatment, for example to put distance between themselves and triggers or to reach a specialized program. Check whether your plan covers out-of-state or out-of-network care first: Medicaid generally covers only in-state providers, while many private plans have national networks.
