I came to the ranch after hitting rock bottom in my addiction. I am so thankful I was led to the ranch. I didn't know what to expect walking in the doors, but I was met with open arms. The BHT was kind along with the other men in the house. I lived a life of chaos and deception before entering the ranch. After my 30 days of intensive therapy, it gave me the skills, structure, and knowledge to start working toward a new life one day at a time. The therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and leadership were most helpful in assisting me in my new found recovery. I have read previous reviews, and quite frankly disagree with most of them. I was in a position where I needed hard truth. I ran from truths throughout my entire addiction and did whatever I wanted to do while creating incredible trauma to those around me. I did not need a "kumbaya" rehab facility. I am most thankful to the people who were courageous and bold enough to speak hard truths into my life and spark change in me!

The Ranch absolutely changed my life. It gave me a space to heal, grow, and perspective on how to turn away from my addictive behaviors and start living a healthy life.***Disclaimer: no addiction treatment center is perfect, and The Ranch is far from it. But I'm giving them 5 stars for ultimately helping me achieve the goal I set out for upon coming here: to find peace and hope in my life.PROS:-Level of care / skill from therapists -Men in my recovery house loving and caring well-Staff that support my recovery CONS:-Very unorganized medical facility -Less than a handful of staff / therapists that quite frankly should not be working in this field-Disconnect from corporate and hands on staff members It truly only works for me once I started working it. Willingness plays a huge factor in my success at treatment

Accepted Insurance

The Ranch Tennessee works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Medically Assisted Detox

Medical detox at The Ranch TN is safe and as comfortable as possible. Physicians prescribe research-backed medications to ease withdrawal symptoms. Detox specialists and nurses care for clients around the clock, monitoring vital signs and attending to any discomfort.

Inpatient

The Ranch TN offers residential treatment for adults struggling with substance abuse, mental health disorders, co-occurring disorders, eating disorders, trauma and sex and intimacy disorders.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) receive robust, personalized care to support their reintegration into their community. Clients stepping down from inpatient treatment frequently enroll in IOP before entering standard outpatient care or community-based recovery programs, such as AA. Intensive outpatient treatment generally involves between nine and 20 therapeutic hours weekly, with the frequency and duration of sessions decreasing as clients stabilize. IOP services commonly include counseling, recovery education, holistic therapies, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive outpatient option for those with moderate to severe addictions, allowing you to return home at the end of the day. It can be an alternative to hospitalization or used as a step-down option. PHP treatment requires a minimum of 20 hours of treatment per week for an average of 90 days. Depending on your needs, PHP treatment includes relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services. PHP treatment is often covered by providers.

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.

12-Step

When enrolld in an addiction recovery program that's based on the 12 step model, clients are able to cultivate recovery-focused life skills emphasizing spiritual, mental, and emotional healing. Participants receive intensive peer support in 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, open to the public, and available day and night in most communities. Self-selected sponsors guide sponsees through the recovery journey, cultivating self-awareness, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, participants aren't required to be religiously affiliated.

Outpatient

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.

Aftercare 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.

Treatments

Many clients have a primary diagnosis such as substance abuse, eating disorder or sex addiction with at least one co-occurring mental health issue. The Ranch TN addresses all of these issues simultaneously.

The Right Step provides comprehensive treatment for mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and others. Treatment includes a blend of behavioral therapies and medication as clinically appropriate.

Clients at The Ranch TN get evidence-based treatment for drug and alcohol abuse. Addiction specialists help them address the underlying reasons that contribute to substance abuse. They learn healthy coping skills and are connected to important recovery resources.

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.

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.

Program For Women

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Destructive behaviors like addiction, eating disorders and sex addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy teaches partners to build healthy patterns to support recovery.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. The Ranch TN offers creative ways for clients to express themselves such as art and music.

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.

The Ranch treats women with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and other disordered eating patterns. Clients learn the underlying reasons behind their destructive eating patterns. They learn to look at food as a source of nourishment and not a way to cope with emotional pain. Body image work, trauma work and equine therapy are main components of the program.

Equine therapy involves caring for and interacting with horses in ways that provide valuable lessons in accountability and in how we relate to others. Equine therapy is an effective approach for addressing and processing underlying issues stemming from trauma and negative past experiences. The Ranch equine program includes equine-assisted therapy groups as well as opportunities for therapeutic and recreational riding.

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.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is based on the discovery that rapid movements of the eye while recalling certain events can reduce anxiety associated with trauma. It has been found effective in clinical trials and has been approved by the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association and the Veteran’s Administration.

The Ranch works individually with both clients and their families to address the issues that have led the client into treatment. They take a family systems approach to treatment, recognizing the family as a connected, living system; an issue with one of its members is indicative of issues that need to be addressed as a whole unit. They help families understand the various roles each of its members plays in the system, and facilitate healing of the whole unit and the individual parts.

Clients share with others who understand what they're going through. A mental health professional guides discussions and experiential activities. Clients gain new insights into themselves and their relationships.

Clients work closely with a trained mental health professional to get to the root causes of their destructive behaviors. These often include emotional pain, trauma, difficult relationships, attachment issues, low self-esteem and mental health disorders.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to help people shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with recovery. Recreational therapists lead clients 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 destructive behaviors, 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 clients to process trauma and loosen the grip it has on their present day life.
