About Volunteer Behavioral Health

Volunteer Behavioral Health – Murfreesboro Campus is a behavioral health and addiction recovery center that offers services for both children and adults in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Their campus offers outpatient care which makes it a good next step for those recently released from inpatient care at a nearby drug rehab center. They also provide a 24/7 monitored detox program.

You can also get personalized care here if you are active duty military, a veteran, or someone with a dual diagnosis such as addiction and mental illness. They also have supervised probation, jail re-entry, and DUI and teen driver safety programs.

Their intensive outpatient care lets you return home after each day’s counseling services. You can expect to participate in individual therapy, group counseling, and family counseling sessions. All of these services work together to give you the tools and knowledge you need to identify triggers and reject your cravings for harmful substances.

Most clients here attend counseling sessions for three hours a day, three days a week. You’ll spend 12 weeks in the program for a total of 36 sessions. When you complete your treatment, they’ll give you a certificate that marks your progress. You can also enroll in their robust aftercare program which connects you to community-based resources for continued recovery support.

The best part about their program is that they can offer help whenever and wherever you need it through their mobile health and mobile crisis response units. You can even access care through their telehealth portal. These convenient options mean you’re never too far from the care you need.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

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.

aftercare iconAftercare 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).

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Addiction Recovery Program provides recovery-oriented support for individuals with addiction or co-occurring disorders. Services include individual and group formats for relapse prevention and recovery skills development.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more.

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.
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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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

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.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR FAMILY HERE!! I had a loved one who was recommended to come here and they told him he could leave if he wanted with no push back. He called me that same night and asked me to come get him. They told us they would send the Crisis team in and they would call us back. THEY NEVER DID!! We called them an hour later and they said that there is an ambulance to take him to the hospital. They wouldn t tell us where they sent him or what provoked the call to send him to the hospital. My loved one called ME from the hospital and told us he was there and that he didn t know why he was sent there and he was scared. The hospital had to keep him overnight and eventually released him after the psych team evaluated. This place sent his clothes with him and said they didn t want him back. Well great, he ISNT coming back! This place is HORRIBLE!!!! Please do not send your loved ones here. He was not cared for. He said they didn t feed him and he was starving. I hope this place closes! It s a shame that some people FINALLY reach out for help and places like this torment them and make it harder. Shame on these people!

I'm very thankful that I work for a company that wound up understanding how horribly things ended up escalating regarding a short-term disability claim I needed to file thanks to Volunteer Behavioral's negligence and in the end, I got my short-term disability approved after having to mention to my human resources department how these people, as well as a psychiatric hospital I had been admitted to, were absolutely not going to work with me getting the documentation I needed to get my short-term disability approved.(Following paragraph is background about what led to this situation with Volunteer Behavioral Health)First off, I needed to have a doctor's signature on a document my company of employment needed regarding my care at the psychiatric hospital. The psychiatric hospital failed to tell me that I needed the signature by a doctor that was a part of my treatment plan there. A lot of the issues I had regarding that had to do with their poor communitiation with who I needed this signature from, and the social worker from that hospital said that someone from Volunteer Behavioral had to sign what was needed for my paperwork because they were who they passed my outpatient care plan to (which in the end never happened because I refuse to use VBH anymore due to all of this).That above paragraph is where things started with Volunteer. It is true that the root of all of this was due to the psychiatric hospital I was admitted to (Ascension St Thomas Hospital), however, how Volunteer wound up handling my situation was so poor, I very nearly mentally spiraled again.I'd mentioned that I need paperwork signed for my short-term disability. When I talked to somebody there, they set me up with an appointment with a psychiatrist I normally saw. 3 appointments in a row were cancelled with no prior notice. The last of which I actually found out minutes BEFORE our scheduled appointment. The person I talked to then informed me that the psychiatrist only had appointments one day a week.That begs the question: WHY would you book an appointment with someone that doesn't have availability on the day you book the appointment???I became so upset, in the end, I wound up talking to someone that seemed to be a supervisor there. THAT conversation is the one that makes me realize that these people, and really a lot of mental health help here in Tennessee in a nutshell, does more harm than good for me, and played a long-term role in my decision to leave the state.That conversation had the person, who I believe may have been a supervisor based on the fact that I was on hold for an unusually long amount of time after becoming extremely angry about a 3rd medication appointment being cancelled with no prior warning, this time BEFORE my appointment (and understandably so, wouldn't you be upset if people telling you about how you "need" medication to function are negligently booking appointments they can't even honor?). They proceeded to (admittedly rightly) tell me that the psychiatrist couldn't sign my paperwork for my short-term disability because they were not apart of my active care plan while I was hospitalized. Ok, I can't fault them for that, because in the end, they were right.What is absolutely inexcusable, however, is the fact that I brought up that people FROM VOLUNTEER BEHAVIORAL HEALTH had told me multiple times to get an appointment with the psychiatrist so they could sign my paperwork for my short-term disability, and this person proceeded to seemingly attempt to gaslight me. They said nobody there told me this. I'd not have bothered trying over and over to schedule an appointment if I had known that they could do nothing for me because of SOMEONE WITH VBH.Ultimately I figured out who really was supposed to sign the paperwork (which ultimately never happened). Ascension St. Thomas were the real villains in my story and what started all of this, but I won't forget Volunteer Behavioral Health's negligent role in me nearly not getting months of rent from getting mental health treatment.

I don't believe one bad review about this place. Not to mention the new facility is very nice. The one thing I have learned about mental health is just that mental. With that said they saved my son but he also helped save himself. He's proven if you take your meds correctly, communicate with your care team and work a program you can be successful in life no matter your diagnosis.

I came to these guys so scared, and within a day they made me feel at home. There s always going to be bad reviews everywhere but please listen when I say me and everyone in that place was shocked with how amazing this place was compared to the other inpatient cares. Karen and also everyone on the day shift, made sure we never went without and heard everyone s problems and met us with solutions always. This place was so amazing that my group didn t want to LEAVE. They knew how to make us all feel like family. I ll never forget them

I really enjoy talking to everyone there! They have really helped me and my son. It is hard to get an appointment at times, but usually we get in in a reasonable amount of time. They do over the phone appointments which is really helpful to us!
