About Peninsula Outpatient Center – Knox

Peninsula Outpatient Center is part of the Covenant Health network. They’re located in Knoxville, Tennessee. They can help you with any alcohol and drug issues by providing you with intensive outpatient programs. There’s also a track specifically for women. They accept selected Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans.

When you’re enrolled in their outpatient program, you’ll partake in sessions that are three to four hours long. You’ll be attending sessions for four or five weekdays per week. Each session is a mix of group therapy and education classes. You’ll explore your mental health history. This can be stressful, but you’ll get support from your peers and your counselors. You can learn from them and share experiences. That way, you’ll be able to address any underlying conditions that fuel your substance abuse. These issues can include depression, anxiety and family troubles.

There are also specific programs for seniors and teens. These programs are for inpatient care, but you’ll have to go to the Peninsula Hospital to be admitted. If you have any acute issues, you might also be referred to their inpatient center in Blount County.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

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.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

I've been going here for years and the lady I see, Julie Thurmer is so kind, listens intently to what I'm saying and actually seems to genuinely care about whatever I'm talking about. She's worked with me on all my meds until we found the perfect mix and single handedly has made me not hate going to the doctor as much. The people at the front desk are always so nice and friendly, and I've not had a bad experience one and I've been there literally dozens of times.

I have to remind them about prescription refills for my son over and over again. After he has a follow up appointment with the provider saying he'd send the refills in, we still end it up with no refills. Its impossible to reach the nurse on the phone about it.

Absolutely horrendous. I was taken here as a teen and now as an adult I'm being treated for PTSD from my time during inpatient. I was handcuffed and taken from Bristol VA up to this place in Knoxville (a 2hr trip) in the back of a police van. Handcuffed the entire 2 hours. While there I was only given uncrustables to eat and the "therapist" refused to help me through my mental health issues (bi-polar type 1) and told me my issues were all due to me dressing "gothic". Yeah, apparently bi-polar is just due to how you dress? The staff laughed at and belittled me during a breakdown and I was sedated and restrained for just sitting on my bed crying. They refused to let my parents get me out, after finding out how I was being treated, I think they ended up having to threaten a lawsuit. If you or your child need inpatient treatment go to Woodridge in Johnson City TN, of course none of these facilities are going to be perfect but Woodridge has been the best as both a teen and adult. Both with mental health as well as addiction treatment. Peninsula needed and still needs to be shut down. I still hear horror stories about this place years later.

Just treated poorly by pretty much everyone. I thought my therapist and psychiatrist were nice and helpful at first, but everything went bad so fast. Even the front desk people are incredibly rude, and unapologetic for mistakes that they make.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. it is impossible to get your prescriptions refilled as I never answered the phone call when the pharmacy calls them So then you go days and weeks without your prescription period they constantly cancel your appointment, just stay away.
