For drug court coordinators
Updated September 2026

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.

Three-step referral workflow

1. Call 423-498-2000 Mon–Fri, 9:00 am–4:30 pm ET. Ask for the intake coordinator. State the referring court.
2. 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.
3. We schedule the first appointment at the clinic closest to the defendant's residence once we reach the patient, or someone the patient has signed a release for who can book on their behalf. We try to reach the patient within 24 hours of receiving the referral, and the first appointment can be as soon as the same day. 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) or Brixadi (weekly or monthly injection) after starting on Suboxone
• Alcohol use disorder — Vivitrol (monthly injection), Acamprosate (daily oral)
• Kratom and 7-OH dependence — buprenorphine-family medications
• Stimulant, benzodiazepine, and cannabis use disorders — counseling and behavioral therapies (no FDA-approved MAT)
• Group IOP and behavioral health at the Chattanooga flagship
• Integrated Hep C care at all four clinics

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.
