Refer your defendant for outpatient MAT in three steps.
Restoration Recovery is a CARF-accredited, SAMHSA-registered outpatient addiction treatment provider with four clinics across Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia. We coordinate with drug courts, recovery courts, mental health courts, safe baby courts, and probation offices on treatment placement and on court-ordered drug and alcohol assessments.
Court-ordered D&A assessment
$150 cash. Same-week scheduling. DSM-5 + COWS for opioid-related cases. Written report addressed to the requesting court, attorney, probation officer, or DCS caseworker. Patient signs Part 2 release at intake authorizing the disclosure to the named recipient.
Treatment placement
Same-week first appointment in most cases. Coverage spans TennCare (BlueCare, UHC Community Plan, Wellpoint), commercial, Medicare, Tricare, and Georgia Medicaid CMOs. Most defendants on TennCare have $0 copay for MAT.
Three-step referral workflow
- Call 423-498-2000 Mon–Fri, 9:00 am–4:30 pm CT. Ask for the intake coordinator. State the court and whether the case is for assessment or for treatment placement.
- Have the defendant sign a 42 CFR Part 2 release of information authorizing disclosure of treatment information back to the named court, probation officer, or attorney. We can provide standard ROI forms in advance, or the defendant can sign at the first visit.
- We schedule the first appointment within five to seven business days at the clinic closest to the defendant's residence. Compliance documentation (attendance, drug screen results, treatment plan summary) is issued per the court's preferred cadence (per hearing, weekly, or monthly).
What we treat
- Opioid use disorder — Suboxone (daily), Sublocade (monthly injection), Brixadi (weekly/bi-weekly/monthly injection)
- Alcohol use disorder — Vivitrol (monthly injection), Acamprosate (daily oral)
- Kratom and 7-OH dependence — buprenorphine-family medications
- Stimulant, benzodiazepine, and cannabis use disorders — counseling, peer support, behavioral therapies (no FDA-approved MAT)
- Group IOP, behavioral health, integrated Hep C care at the Chattanooga flagship
What we do NOT offer (refer elsewhere first)
Medical detox, partial hospitalization (PHP), residential rehabilitation, or inpatient psychiatric care. Defendants in active withdrawal needing medical management should be stabilized at an ED or inpatient detox first; once stable, the handoff to outpatient MAT is straightforward.
