Addictions We Treat in Tennessee and Kentucky

Heroin addiction often starts with recreational use, but due to its highly addictive nature, it quickly spirals out of control. Many individuals turn to heroin as a cheaper alternative to prescription opioids or when they can no longer obtain their desired drugs. Unfortunately, this decision can have life-altering consequences.

Our drug rehab facilities in TN and KY are equipped with medical professionals and therapists who specialize in treating heroin addiction. Our team understands the complex nature of this addiction and provides personalized care to address both the physical and psychological aspects of heroin addiction.

These modalities include:

• Medication- Assisted Treatment (MAT): This approach combines medication, such as buprenorphine, with behavioral therapy to reduce opioid cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT aims to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with drug use. It also teaches coping skills to prevent relapse.
• Group Therapy: Our group therapy sessions provide a supportive environment for individuals to share their experiences and learn from others who are going through similar struggles.
• Individual Counseling: Our therapists work one-on-one with clients to address underlying issues that may contribute to addiction, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and create a personalized treatment plan.

With this combined approach, our clients can gain a better understanding of their addiction and learn how to effectively manage it in their everyday lives.

Benzodiazepines are highly effective at treating conditions like anxiety and panic disorder in the short term. These drugs are designed to produce a calming effect by increasing the activity of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate brain activity. However, due to their high potential for abuse and addiction, benzodiazepines should only be used as a short-term solution.

Benzodiazepine addiction can develop quickly and often goes unnoticed until it becomes a serious problem. Some common signs and symptoms of benzodiazepine addiction include:

• Taking higher doses than prescribed or using them recreationally
• Experiencing intense cravings for the drug
• Difficulty controlling use or cutting back on use despite negative consequences
• Withdrawal symptoms when trying to cut back, including seizures

Because benzodiazepine use often occurs with anxiety, our network of facilities offers specialized treatment programs that address both conditions simultaneously. This approach helps individuals learn healthy coping mechanisms for managing anxiety without the use of benzodiazepines. Treatment for benzodiazepine addiction typically includes a combination of medication, therapy, and support groups.

Of the many addictions we treat, prescription drug addiction is among the most common. Even medications prescribed by a doctor can lead to abuse when they are misused. From stimulants to sedatives, our programs tackle the complexities of prescription drug addiction by addressing both physical dependency and underlying mental health concerns.

By working closely with your regular provider and utilizing a variety of evidence-based treatments, our team can help you safely detox from prescription drugs and develop healthy coping mechanisms for managing pain or other medical conditions. We also provide ongoing support to prevent relapse and maintain long-term recovery.

Beyond these core categories, Tulip Hill Healthcare treats addictions to a variety of other substances, ranging from hallucinogens to inhalants. No matter the substance, our team is committed to helping individuals find freedom from addiction.

Substance use disorders rarely occur in isolation. Many individuals struggling with addiction are also coping with mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or bipolar disorder. These co-occurring conditions often exacerbate one another, creating a cycle that makes recovery more difficult.

Tulip Hill Healthcare takes an integrated approach through our dual diagnosis treatment programs in KY and TN. This means that in addition to addressing addiction, we also provide support for underlying mental health issues. These services may include:

• Individual Therapy: Personalized one-on-one sessions focusing on mental health and coping strategies.
• Medication Management: If appropriate, our psychiatric team can prescribe and oversee medications that help stabilize mental health symptoms.
• Trauma-Informed Care: Acknowledging and addressing the role trauma often plays in addiction.
• Family Support: Helping loved ones understand the intersection between mental health and addiction while fostering a supportive environment.

By addressing both aspects simultaneously, we empower clients to achieve a more complete and sustainable recovery.
