About EM Jellinek Center
Located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the EM Jellinek Center is a residential alcohol and drug rehab center for adult men. They offer services to help clients break the cycle of addiction, develop healthy coping skills, and return back to their families healthier and happier than ever before. For more than 40 years, this state licensed facility has helped local men rebuild their lives and restore their relationships. They are funded through the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, a grant from the KAMA Philanthropic Fund, and public donations. Services may be free or low cost for qualifying clients.
They operate under the idea that a solid meal, clean sheets, and a safe place to sleep can make a transformative difference in anyone’s life. However, they don’t stop at the bare necessities. Here, clients have access to top of the line amenities, including a well appointed dining facility, workout area, and comfortable, quiet living spaces.
While living at the Center, clients can engage in residential treatment services to help them learn more about their addictions, identify triggers, and work through any underlying psychological conditions, such as depression and anxiety, that might contribute to their substance use. They may also engage in educational programming and life skills training to develop the knowledge and tools they need for long term recovery.
On their website, they’ve shared testimonials from past clients who have gone through the program. Many claim that the treatment they receive completely changed their lives and taught them how to become productive members of society. They explain that while they had the desire to get sober, they didn’t have the real tools to do so until they came here.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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
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.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
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.
