Thank you for sharing your experience! We wish you all the best.
For confidentiality reasons, I will not disclose the names of either parties involved. (IYKYK). My significant other and I spent weeks looking for the right treatment facility when we agreed on EMR. EMR was supposed to be our saving grace but instead it turned out to be a nightmare. During the months of September to November 24, I visited EMR close to half a dozen times. The premises were always clean and tidy. The dining hall was well kept, but the men s bathroom was subpar at best. The bathroom as a whole wasn t clean and the urinal wouldn t flush. The staff was helpful and polite. They all seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs. I ve heard good things about the counselors and the campus. They offer a wide variety of group activities, something for everyone, if you will. These were my observations while visiting a loved one who was seeking treatment. Little did I know that while she was getting treatment, she would begin a relationship with the CEO. She confessed to me what all took place, where it took place, and the CEO s behavior. There was even an investigation while she was in treatment. They both did their part to hide it even though an eye witness came forward. I find this to be completely unprofessional. How could someone with so little integrity be held in such a high position?! The CEO was able to manipulate not only his peers but his subordinates. Simply playing them all like chess pieces. I submitted a complaint with Summit BHC. Kira and Kim reached out to and took all my information regarding this matter. While my loved one was there, she did mention other patients were caught hooking up on the premises. I would imagine the other reviews about someone having relations while at EMR to be true. I would say stay away from here if you re looking for a treatment facility for your significant other. If you re single and looking for treatment, this could be one heck of an experience. This review is as unbiased as possible and intended to help others who are seeking the right facility. To all reading this, good luck in your journey!
I went to a detox to be moved off Methadone and and from the detox they took the phone. They wouldn't let me use the phone. The detox place wouldn't let me us the phone so I suffer from mental health problems so the told me if I would leave I would have to leave without my phone are my things. The people at the detox were letting Caucasian patient make a phone call and I was let to make one phone call and the guy work there a listened to my phone call. I felt like I was placed in jail. The detox place told me because I had mental issues I had to go to this place. When I got to English mountain recovery I'm black the 1st roommate said no. So I was put in a room alone. Most of the patient was white. I was scared and alone no one still whould no let me use the phone. Staff would passed me never let me us the phone.one girl saw I was struggling to get around this old swingers resort. There is not any horses no pool no golf they barely have staff. The women and men were close together..the rooms weren't clean. Very uncomfortable beds. I was emotionally overwhelmed scared and physically drained. I didn't know how I was going to get home are if was able took. I never been this scared in my life. No one needs to go there especially if you black. The staff kept asking me if I saw the only black female there. It was so racists. A month later and I'm still dealing with PTSD I can't sleep are work. You won't see a doctor are psychiatric doctor only telehealth visits with a nurse practioner and I keep remembering day by day things that happened I still haven't got my appetite back. Nightmares. This place need to be shut down. If any one else have experienced trauma from this place contact me we need to form support group. For victims of these money-making scams.

Accepted Insurance
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
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Inpatient 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. EMR is one of the few residential inpatient treatment facilities with gender specific treatment for both men and women.
12-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).
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
24-Hour Clinical Care Safe detox requires 24-hour clinical care in Tennessee. This is due to the health risks that are involved during withdrawal. As the brain reacts to the absence of the drug, severe symptoms can occur, depending on the type of drug used. For instance, alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal may result in seizures. Fortunately, supervised care in a clinical setting can provide the necessary treatment to avoid health risks and allow you to complete detox safely.
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.
Programs
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.
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.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself. EMR recommend a variety of creative therapies including painting, rock sculpturing, drawing, collage and skits.
Spending time with horses has been used for centuries to treat a variety of medical conditions, including physical disabilities, cognitive issues and recently, addiction. Their equine therapy program enables residents to identify treatment issues, bond as a group, and experience the power of a relationship built on open communication all through activities with horses.
Experiential therapy, which was developed in the 1970s, is a therapeutic approach that encourages patients to identify and address hidden or subconscious issues through a range of active experiences. At English Mountain Recovery, activity therapy staff has more than 25 years of experience. They have over a dozen of low ropes courses -- some of which are permanently set up outdoors and some portable to be able to do the activity indoors in inclement weather.
Addiction impacts the entire family and English Mountain Recovery is committed to providing support to the loved ones of those entering treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. Research shows that long-term recovery success rates are increased when the entire family is involved in the addiction recovery process.
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.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
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.
If you participate in motivational interviewing in Tennessee, your therapist will focus on four key strategies: open questions, affirmation, reflections, and summarizing. Rather than confront or warn you to change, the clinician will allow you to explore your own motivations and decide what changes you may need to make in your life.
