■ Our Story
Chattanooga Detox Center
Addiction is rarely an isolated issue; it often intertwines with behavioral and mental health disorders. Recognizing this complexity, we adopt a trauma-informed approach to treating substance use disorder. We understand that trauma can play a significant role in an individual’s life, and we approach each client with the assumption that they may have experienced traumatic incidents. This perspective allows us to create a safe, compassionate environment where healing can truly begin.
Utilizing evidence-based methods, our healing process is a collaborative effort between the individual, their family, and our providers. We draw from robust knowledge, expertise, and cutting-edge technologies to help our clients and their families grow, heal, and flourish. Our goal is not just to treat the symptoms but to address the root causes of addiction, paving the way for sustainable recovery.
Our Mission & Values
We believe that addiction ends when connection begins. From the moment a client walks through our doors, we ensure they feel seen, heard, and treated with compassion. Our core values include:
Accountability: We help our clients maintain transparency and develop awareness of psychological and environmental triggers.
Self-Worth: We aim to restore and renew our clients’ self-esteem, recognizing it as a vital component of the recovery process.
Communication: Open and honest communication with oneself and one’s support system is foundational to achieving and maintaining sobriety.
Vulnerability: We encourage clients to be open about past struggles and future fears, meeting them where they are with a non-judgmental approach.
Ethics: We uphold the highest standards of ethical practice, ensuring transparency and integrity in all our operations.
Comprehensive Continuum of Care
Over the years, we’ve observed that clients achieve long-term sobriety not just through initial treatment but through ongoing support. With this in mind, we’ve developed a comprehensive curriculum that assists clients in reintegrating into the real world with continuous support and care. Our full continuum of care includes detox, inpatient treatment, and aftercare options, keeping clients immersed in treatment for the long term. This integrated approach helps create a more sustainable foundation for sobriety.
