About East Tennessee Behavioral Health
East Tennessee Behavioral Health offers detox, inpatient, and outpatient care for teens, adults, and seniors.

They combine medication with proven therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational enhancement therapy in 1-on-1, family, and group therapy settings.

Support Recovery in Thoughtfully Designed Spaces
Their 90-bed inpatient facility offers modern, comfortable rooms with intentionally designed spaces to promote calm and healing.

Prepare for Lasting Success in Recovery
East Tennessee Behavioral Health works closely with each patient to plan their next steps after treatment, ensuring long-term success.
