The Helen Ross McNabb Center’s CenterPointe facility, located in Knoxville, TN, is dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate addiction treatment services.

Their approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring that clients receive the highest standard of care personalized to their unique recovery journey.
Integrated Treatment Modalities
CenterPointe specializes in an integrated care model, which is crucial for achieving long-term sobriety and mental wellness. This model involves combining medical, psychological, and social support services. Treatment often begins with medically managed detoxification to safely and comfortably stabilize individuals who are physically dependent on substances. Following detox, clients transition into various levels of care, focusing on therapy and skill-building.
