The Hixson Picture

What recovery looks like from the 37343 ZIP

If you live in Hixson — DuPont, Northgate, Big Ridge, or Valleybrook — you already know Highway 153 and Hixson Pike. Most likely you drive one of them to work, to the grocery run at Northgate, or out to the marinas on the river. Our Chattanooga clinic sits about 10 minutes south of Hixson on Shallowford Road, straight off the 153 corridor. Our Soddy-Daisy clinic is about the same distance north. For most people starting MAT (medication-assisted treatment) from this part of Hamilton County, the question isn't whether there's a clinic nearby — there are two — it's which one fits better with your week.

The patients we see most often from Hixson aren't the street-use cases you'd picture from a news headline. They're people in their 40s and 50s, often with years of physical work behind them, who started on a legitimate prescription after a surgery or a back injury and found themselves unable to stop. Some were cut off abruptly when a prescribing doctor retired or tightened up. Some tapered on their own and ended up reaching for something off the street when withdrawal hit. The clinical picture almost always looks more straightforward than the personal story: the right dose of buprenorphine stops craving, keeps the receptor occupied, and lets the original pain management conversation resume without the chase.

The pattern behind the numbers

Fatal overdoses in Hamilton County have dropped 38% over two years. EMS naloxone administrations are down 34% over the same window. Suspected overdose-related ER visits dropped from 1,003 to 797 from 2023 to 2025 — a 21% decrease.

These are the best trends the county has seen in a decade, driven by three things working at once: Narcan in the hands of first responders and the public, a shift in the street fentanyl supply, and more people moving from street-use cycles into MAT. Hamilton County is one of only two in Tennessee running a jail-based MAT pilot program, and the Hamilton Counted report tracks the decline quarter by quarter.

What those numbers don't capture: the people still in the middle of it. Fewer fatal overdoses doesn't mean fewer people with opioid use disorder — it means more of them are surviving long enough to seek treatment. That's the conversation we want to have at a first visit.

Restoration Recovery Soddy-Daisy clinic
From your Hixson neighborhood

Which clinic is actually closest to you

Hixson covers about nine square miles split into four neighborhoods with different shortest drives. For most people, "which clinic" is a five-minute-difference decision — but five minutes twice a week, multiplied across a year of follow-up visits, is worth getting right.

DuPont area (west Hixson, near Red Bank border)

If you live between Hixson Pike and the US-27 corridor — around DuPont Elementary, DuPont Parkway, or the older subdivisions adjacent to Red Bank — Hixson Pike south through Rivermont is your shortest route to the Chattanooga clinic. Expect about 12 minutes when traffic is clear, longer at weekday rush. Highway 153 is an alternative but adds a mile of cloverleaf-to-cloverleaf driving you don't need. For follow-up telehealth visits, most patients in this area do them from home after the initial in-person evaluation.

Northgate area (central Hixson, around the mall and 153)

If you're near Northgate Mall, Old Hixson Village, or anywhere along the Highway 153 retail corridor, our Chattanooga clinic is basically one exit further south on 153. Drive time: 8–10 minutes to the Shallowford Road exit, then a short east-bound turn to 6141 Shallowford Rd. If you already do your weekly grocery run at Northgate, your appointment is on the same drive. This is the most common starting point among Hixson patients.

Big Ridge area (north Hixson, toward Middle Valley)

If you live north of Hixson Middle School or closer to Thrasher Pike, our Soddy-Daisy clinic on Walmart Drive is often your better option. It's 8 minutes north on Highway 153 versus 12–15 minutes south to Chattanooga. Soddy-Daisy runs Monday and Wednesday appointments; Chattanooga runs Monday through Friday. If your schedule needs flexibility beyond two days, Chattanooga wins. If proximity matters most, Soddy-Daisy is the shorter drive.

Valleybrook area (east Hixson, near the golf course and river)

From the Valleybrook Country Club area, the Chickamauga Dam side, or any of the marinas along the eastern Tennessee River edge, both routes work: Hixson Pike south to Rivermont or Highway 153 south. Total drive time is comparable at 10–12 minutes. If you're east of Hixson Pike, the 153 route is usually smoother.

Already commuting through Hixson daily?

If you drive Highway 153 or Hixson Pike to work anywhere in central Chattanooga — downtown, Erlanger, UTC, the Hamilton Place area — your first appointment can fit into a lunch hour (60–120 minutes depending on intake flow). Follow-up visits are shorter (often under 30 minutes) and most are eligible for telehealth after the first in-person visit, which means you can do them from home, office, or parked in a quiet lot on your break.

How Treatment Works

Restoration Recovery provides outpatient addiction treatment — no residential stay, no detox facility. You visit our Chattanooga clinic for appointments and go home the same day. Treatment is built around your schedule, not the other way around.

Your first visit typically takes 60 to 120 minutes and follows a four-step flow: intake (DSM-5 assessment + COWS score for opioid use disorder), counseling, a doctor evaluation, and — if clinically appropriate — a same-day Suboxone prescription (Sublocade and Brixadi injections are ordered per-patient and administered at a follow-up visit). Follow-up visits are shorter and can often be done via telehealth from home.

What We Treat

We provide evidence-based treatment for addiction to opioids and opioid-like substances including heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco), morphine, codeine, tramadol, and prescription painkillers.

We also treat alcohol use disorder, stimulant dependence (cocaine, methamphetamine, Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse), benzodiazepine dependence (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium), cannabis use disorder, and co-occurring mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Kratom & 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) Addiction

Kratom and its concentrated derivative 7-OH are increasingly available and can cause opioid-like physical dependence with severe withdrawal symptoms. Our providers have experience treating kratom and 7-OH dependence with MAT and clinical support tailored to its distinct withdrawal profile. If you are struggling with kratom or 7-OH products, we can help.

Medications We Prescribe

  • Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) — daily film or tablet for opioid use disorder. Reduces cravings and prevents withdrawal so you can function normally.
  • Sublocade (extended-release buprenorphine) — once-monthly injection for patients who prefer not to take daily medication. No pills, no films, no daily decisions.
  • Brixadi (extended-release buprenorphine) — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly injection for opioid use disorder. Flexible dosing intervals for patients who want a shorter cadence than monthly, or who are still titrating to a maintenance dose.
  • Vivitrol (naltrexone) — once-monthly injection for alcohol use disorder. Blocks the reward pathway that drives compulsive drinking.

Insurance & Cost

We accept most major insurance plans including TennCare, Medicaid, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Aetna, Ambetter, and United Healthcare. Most patients pay little to nothing out of pocket. Verify your coverage or call 423-498-2000 before your first visit.

Why Hixson residents come to us

What we see most often from 37343 patients

The legacy-pain demographic

Hixson's industrial history — the DuPont chemical plants in the mid-20th century, the TVA operations that shaped the neighborhood's early economy, the trades and manufacturing employers that followed — means two or three generations of physically demanding work. A lot of our Hixson referrals are people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are months or years past the surgery that started a prescription, who tapered off the pills and found themselves reaching for something to take the edge off, or who were cut off by their prescribing doctor and ended up on the street supply. The clinical picture is usually more straightforward than people expect: buprenorphine at the right dose lets you function normally, keeps the receptor occupied so craving doesn't drive the day, and — critically — doesn't stop working when the original injury flares up.

The "I don't want to drive to a detox facility" patient

Hixson is a settled community. Nobody here wants to take two weeks off work, explain a residential-treatment absence to a boss, or drive to a facility two states away. Our treatment is fully outpatient: you come in for a 60–120 minute first visit, most patients leave with a prescription in hand, and follow-ups are typically 15–30 minutes. If you can make a grocery run to Northgate, you can make an appointment at our Chattanooga clinic on the same drive.

Insurance that works for the Hixson mix

Hamilton County's dominant TennCare MCO is BlueCare, and a large share of employer-sponsored insurance in the area is BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. We accept both, plus Cigna, Aetna, Ambetter, UnitedHealthcare, and most other major commercial plans. For the 8.7% of 37343 residents who are uninsured, we have self-pay options that don't require a policy. The private-pay clinic on Highway 153 inside Hixson is a closer option if you want cash-only or premium-commercial coverage — for everyone else, our Chattanooga and Soddy-Daisy clinics are the practical choice.

Telehealth for the Hixson-to-downtown commuter

If you already commute south on 153 or Hixson Pike to work near downtown Chattanooga, UTC, Erlanger, or the Hamilton Place corridor, your initial in-person visit at our Chattanooga clinic fits into a long lunch hour. After that, telehealth follow-ups can happen from your phone in a parking garage, your office, or your car on a break. Several of our Hixson patients never make a second trip to the clinic after the first visit — the medication management side of recovery moves entirely online once you're stable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Chattanooga clinic the same as the one on Highway 153 in Hixson?

No — those are two different clinics run by different organizations. Our Chattanooga clinic is at 6141 Shallowford Road, about 10 minutes south of Hixson via Highway 153 or Hixson Pike. We accept TennCare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance. We also offer IOP, behavioral health, integrated hepatitis C treatment, and telehealth follow-ups — a full outpatient program alongside MAT.

I work downtown — can I do my first visit during lunch?

Your initial in-person evaluation runs 60 to 120 minutes depending on how the intake flow goes, so a standard lunch hour is usually too tight. A long lunch, a half-day, or an early-morning appointment (we open at 9 am) works for most Hixson commuters. Follow-up visits are much shorter — often 15 to 30 minutes — and many are eligible for telehealth after the first visit.

What if I'm closer to Soddy-Daisy than Chattanooga?

If you live north of Hixson Middle School or near Middle Valley, our Soddy-Daisy clinic on Walmart Drive is probably a shorter drive. It runs Monday and Wednesday; Chattanooga runs Monday through Friday. Both clinics offer the same medication options (Suboxone, Sublocade, Brixadi, Vivitrol) and are staffed by the same organization. Call 423-498-2000 and we can help you pick.

How quickly can I start treatment?

Most Hixson-area patients are seen within the same week. Call 423-498-2000 or request an appointment online. Many patients begin Suboxone on their first visit (Sublocade and Brixadi injections are ordered during the first visit and administered at a follow-up).

Will my treatment be confidential?

Yes. All treatment at Restoration Recovery is protected by HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 — the strictest federal privacy standard for substance use treatment. Your records cannot be shared without your written consent, including with family members, employers, or other providers.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept TennCare (BlueCare is Hamilton County's dominant MCO), Medicaid, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Cigna, Aetna, Ambetter, UnitedHealthcare, and most major commercial plans. Check your coverage here or call us to verify before your first visit.

Do I need to stop using opioids before my first appointment?

You do not need to be completely off opioids before coming in. Your provider will evaluate where you are and guide you through a safe transition onto Suboxone. In most cases, you should be in early withdrawal before your first dose — your provider will explain exactly what to expect.

Can I do follow-up appointments from home?

Yes. After your initial in-person evaluation, many follow-up visits can be conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth from your phone, tablet, or computer — useful for Hixson residents who commute to downtown jobs or who want to avoid an extra trip.
