About Discovery Place

Discovery Place is located in Burns, Tennessee, and provides drug recovery services to men who are living with a drug or alcohol dependence. Their recovery program provides inpatient treatment through a structured format.

Care starts with a 30-day residential program that will allow you to detox in a safe and supportive environment. After detox, you’ll begin working through a range of evidence-based and best-practice treatments including an in-depth 12 Step program to help you lay a strong foundation for the start of your sobriety.

Following this phase is the Long Term recovery program. This program continues with the 12 Step immersion approach but will include skills development so that you can build healthy habits to support your sobriety. Phase 3, or Step Down care, allows you to continue building those skills as you reintegrate into your life.

Discovery Place is unique in that after you complete the program, you will still have contact with staff and mentors even after your treatment plan is over. There are biweekly and monthly check-ins after you leave the facility to help encourage and motivate you long into your recovery.

I heard a guy say once that God looked down on this earth and said I have to do something for my pour old drunks and he sent us the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and I believe that to be true. I feel the same way about Discovery Place it's a gift from God. They gave me a few simple tools and showed me how to use them to live sober and happy in this world. I am still flawed at best but I am a little better Husband, father and friend than I used to be. I will never forget my time at Discovery Place and really enjoy going down to visit on family nights.PS hang in there ColeTim Wright Alumni 2001

Discovery Place is where I finally found a path toward continued, healthy sobriety. The people that work and serve there all have one thing in common: they truly care about changing people's lives for the better through recovery. The spiritual growth I experienced during my time there has been transformational. I know there is no cure for my addiction, but there is a design for living that really works, and DP put me on that path. I am very grateful today for this place.

Question iconWho Answers?

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient rehabs enable clients to receive care without leaving their home, workplace, and community. Clients typically receive intensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Many programs promote clients' long-term sobriety through recovery-focused life skills training and ancillary services, such as peer coaching. Medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance, are common in outpatient care. Most facilities offer multiple levels of care to accommodate clients' evolving needs, including intensive outpatient (IOP) and standard outpatient programming.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements. This program allows men to experience an in-depth introduction to the principles of recovery in a healthy, welcoming atmosphere. Men will be guided through the 12 steps as directed in the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous. Guests reguarly attend outside and in-house recovery meetings, experience engaging recovery guest speakers and learn to rebuild skills necessary for transition into a life of sustained sobriety.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically have abstained from drugs or alcohol for a period of weeks or months and have completed high-level (often inpatient) treatment. Drug rehab aftercare is designed to support clients in maintaining their sobriety as they re-engage with their ordinary lives at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Services are highly individualized and evolve with clients' changing needs, but generally include peer coaching and relapse prevention.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
To keep you safe and comfortable during the detoxification process, a medically assisted detox provides you with a team of medical professionals who can provide the necessary medications to treat any potential withdrawal symptoms. Suddenly stopping chronic abuse of substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Typical cognitive behavioral therapy in Tennessee involves recognizing negative thinking and learning techniques to change that thinking and create new, positive behaviors. Strategies may include SMART goals, journaling, and situation exposure.

Counseling in Tennessee that takes a dialectical behavior therapy approach can last from six to 12 months. During that time, you'll develop skills in the areas of distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy is a safe place to work through the lingering effects of traumatic events in your life. Your therapist will help you understand the physical and emotional responses that can develop after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. You then work toward developing healthier coping mechanisms to reduce your symptoms.

While engaged in couples therapy in Tennessee, you'll learn how to trust, communicate, forgive, and manage emotions. Developing these skills can be beneficial at any time during the relationship, but they are particularly crucial when facing life challenges.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Discovery Place and everything about it saved my life. From the way they opperate their program, to the staff and the community. I cannot recommend Discovery Place enough! I will be 3 years sober this March, and it is solely thanks to what Discovery Place was able to teach me about alcoholism. My entire life I believed I was just a one of a kind basket case. No one will ever understand, and there is no hope. My first evening at Discovery Place (I was FORCED to be there by family) I sat in the back of the room. Arms folded and ready to ignore everything that everyone said. To my complete surprise, a young man shared in the meeting, and he sounded exactly how my one of a kind mind thought! I truly couldn't believe it.Then another man shared, and he sounded as if he was speaking thoughts from my mind. It was then that I started to understand. Discovery Place was not there for me to quit using alcohol and drugs. Discovery Place was there to teach me the tools I need to treat the underlying issue of alcoholism in my every day life. Tools that I used to this day. The community that comes from Discovery Place is one of help, hope, and unity. Some of my best friends to this day are men that I met during my time in treatment here! There are no doctors with degrees on staff. Instead, the staff are men who are in recovery, and are now leading successful lives thanks to the tools they received through Discovery Place. I arrived on the steps of Discovery Place throwing up blood and bile, dying from withdrawals, and completely hopeless of ever living a life of any meaning. Nearly 3 years later I am happy, healthy, sober, and a productive member of society. I went from losing job after job, to holding down a career. From losing relationships due to my alcoholism, addictions, and mental disease, to being invited to spend time with nieces and nephews. I could go on and on about how much my life has changed because of Discovery Place, and if you would like to know more, feel free to contact me directly! Send your loved one to Discovery Place, and let him have the tools for a successful life years from now.

Being a friend of Discovery Place and the immense impact it has and continues to have on recovering alcoholics and addicts is nothing short of amazing.My experiences with Discovery Place, the staff and clients has enriched my life, and hopefully the lives of all that cross the entry way into DP (our hip way to say Discovery Place).I highly recommend and celebrate the thousands that have come and gone, and the many that stay to continue in loving service to the DP community of which I'm so privileged to be a part of.

I cannot say enough good things about Discovery Place. Admissions staff, counselors --they all were knowledgeable, and caring. They gave my son the support he needed to become the person he was before his addiction. I researched and compared rehabs before selecting DP and even the judge was complimentary of DP's reputation for successful treatment. My son followed the complete residential program then moved to a halfway house, then a three-quarter house, all nearby, with support every step of the way. I only wish every addicted person could go through their program. I am forever grateful for what they have done for my son and so many others!

The one word I think of when I hear Discovery Place is phenomenal. As the mother of a son suffering from a substance abuse disorder, I was extremely fearful he was close to losing his life to addiction. He had been in multiple rehabs without success. Discovery Place truly cares about the individual, and in the serene, peaceful surroundings of Discovery Place, the individual can escape the chaos of addiction and learn to redirect their life in a positive direction. The Discovery Place staff was incredible to provide a support system for the entire family, but more importantly, focusing on the needs of the individual. I highly, highly recommend Discovery Place.
