Baptist Behavioral Health is an adult behavioral health unit located in downtown Knoxville, TN, serving individuals struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. The facility specializes in comprehensive substance abuse treatment for adults, including seniors and older adults who need specialized care tailored to their unique needs. Situated at 137 Blount Avenue in Knoxville, Baptist Behavioral Health provides evidence-based treatment designed to address both immediate medical needs and long-term recovery goals.
Baptist Behavioral Health offers multiple levels of care to meet patients where they are in their recovery journey. Detoxification services help individuals safely manage withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision, which is often the critical first step toward recovery. The facility provides inpatient or hospitalization care for those requiring intensive, around-the-clock monitoring and treatment, as well as outpatient programs for individuals who benefit from treatment while maintaining daily responsibilities. Additionally, partial hospitalization or day treatment programs offer a middle ground, providing structured clinical care during the day while allowing patients to return home in the evenings. Baptist Behavioral Health also utilizes buprenorphine treatment, a medication-assisted therapy proven effective for opioid addiction, combined with counseling and behavioral health services to support sustained recovery.
Baptist Behavioral Health accepts multiple insurance plans and payment options, ensuring that financial concerns do not prevent access to care. The facility works with Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and self-pay arrangements. Insurance coverage for behavioral health and substance abuse treatment is protected under the Mental Health Parity Act, meaning your addiction treatment benefits receive the same consideration as other medical conditions. If you have questions about your specific coverage or need help understanding your benefits, Baptist Behavioral Health's admissions team can verify your insurance and explain your options.
