Making the decision to seek help for drug or alcohol use can feel overwhelming. Our admissions team is here to make the process as straightforward as possible, answer your questions, and help determine whether Detox Nashville is an appropriate fit for your needs.
Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself, helping a loved one, or referring someone for care, our team can guide you through each step of the admissions process.
Getting Started
The admissions process begins with a conversation. When you contact Detox Nashville, an admissions specialist will gather information about your current situation, substance use, treatment needs, and other factors that may be important in determining the appropriate next steps.
We’ll also discuss insurance coverage, potential costs, and admission arrangements. When another healthcare provider or treatment program is involved in your care, our team can coordinate with that provider as appropriate and with your authorization.
Before Admission
Before scheduling an admission, our team will complete an initial screening to help determine whether our program can safely and appropriately meet your needs.
This may include questions about:
- Current and recent substance use
- Withdrawal symptoms or previous withdrawal experiences
- Medical and mental health history
- Current medications
- Previous treatment experiences
- Other health or safety concerns
Based on this information, our team will determine whether our level of care appears appropriate or whether another type of treatment or medical care may be needed.
What to Expect When You Arrive
When you arrive at Detox Nashville, our team will help you get settled and complete the admission and assessment process. You’ll receive information about the program, your care, and what to expect during your stay.
Our clinical and medical team will conduct assessments to better understand your substance use, withdrawal risk, physical health, mental health needs, medications, and other factors that may affect your treatment. Drug and alcohol testing may also be completed as part of the admission process.
These assessments help our team develop an individualized plan for your care.
Medically Supervised Detox
For individuals who need withdrawal management, our medical team provides monitoring, support, and medications when clinically appropriate to help manage withdrawal symptoms as safely and comfortably as possible.
Because withdrawal can vary significantly depending on the substance, amount and frequency of use, overall health, and other factors, each person’s detoxification experience and treatment needs are different.
Continuing Treatment After Detox
Detox is often the beginning of treatment rather than the end of it. Once withdrawal symptoms have stabilized, continued treatment can help address the underlying patterns and challenges associated with substance use and support ongoing recovery.
When appropriate, individuals may continue into residential treatment or transition to another recommended level of care based on their individual needs. Our team works with each person to develop an appropriate discharge and continuing-care plan.
Insurance and Payment
We understand that questions about insurance coverage and the cost of treatment can make an already difficult decision feel even more overwhelming.
Detox Nashville works with many major insurance plans. Our admissions team can verify your benefits, explain the information provided by your insurance carrier, and discuss anticipated financial responsibility before admission whenever possible.
Insurance coverage and benefits vary by individual plan, and verification of benefits does not guarantee payment or coverage for services.
