ABOUT HELEN ROSS MCNABB CENTER – CENTERPOINTE

The Helen Ross McNabb Center, a nonprofit behavioral health services organization in East Tennessee, provides a wide array of treatment services for individuals and families with chemical dependency, psychiatric, and co-occurring disorders. The nonprofit’s CenterPointe facility, located in Knoxville, offers short-term residential treatment programming for adults. Medical detox and crisis stabilization services are available on site.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The treatment process at the Helen Ross McNabb Center – CenterPointe begins with admission to the detox, crisis stabilization, or residential program. Clients can be assessed by medical teams to determine where treatment should start. The detox program is available for six-12 days and focuses on crisis stabilization and creating a safe environment. After the detox program, clients can transition into the residential program.

Treatment in the residential program includes medication management if needed combined with individual and group therapies. Group treatments are used most frequently with individual sessions available as needed. Clients stay in the program three or four weeks.

Aside from counseling, clients participate in educational presentations focusing on sober living skills. Coping skills are an important part of the program. Best-rehabs.com survey data indicated that the 12 Steps played a major role in the treatment approach.

Family involvement in treatment is encouraged where possible. However, the design of the program does not facilitate a lot of involvement since group sessions are a big part of the process. Clients are encouraged to seek additional services to address their individual behavioral health concerns to promote a continued sober lifestyle.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

The treatment team at the Helen Ross McNabb Center – CenterPointe consists of a medical director and licensed nursing staff that oversee the medical components of treatment. Clients also work with licensed therapists and group leaders. Counselors are available to work with clients on individual issues and to help coordinated educational and group activities. The facility is CARF accredited.

    I really admired the one on one counseling. I also appreciated that the facility was small so I felt as if I got the encouragement and resources I needed to succeed when I graduated. On a negative note, the size of the facility makes it difficult to be admitted sometimes as there are only an allotted number of beds available or vacant. I can't complain about this place though. It saved my life. My counselor seemed to really care about me and my success when I left. She wanted her patients to win the battle. Other than the internet and phone policies I couldn't think of anything. Even then I admired the policies because I feel they made me focus in the problem at hand; my substance abuse. It was a great feeling to escape and recover at the same time. The entire staff was non judgmental. Even the desk clerks. I didn't feel like any of the were looking down on me whatsoever. Most of the counselors there are in recovery themselves.

  • Almost all staff are recovering, they have an excellent MD on staff. Not much money, need better counclers. They always have state grants and get people in quickly instead of a month or 6 month long wait. They medicate you well so your not sick. They allow you to smoke and have outside meetings.
