Outpatient treatment for Hixson & the 37343 ZIP

What we offer Hixson patients

Restoration Recovery is an outpatient program — no residential stay, no detox facility. You visit our Chattanooga clinic (about 10 minutes south on Highway 153) or our Soddy-Daisy clinic (about 12 minutes north on Walmart Drive) and go home the same day. For the roughly 40,000 residents of the 37343 ZIP — DuPont, Northgate, Big Ridge, and Valleybrook — the real decision is usually just which clinic is the easier drive on your schedule. Your first visit takes about 2 to 3 hours: a DSM-5 assessment (plus a COWS score for opioid use disorder), counseling, a doctor evaluation, and a same-day Suboxone prescription. Daily Suboxone is available at either clinic; Sublocade and Brixadi injections are given at the Chattanooga clinic, since Soddy-Daisy is oral-only. Everything else can move to telehealth once you are stable.

Medication options

Which medication fits depends on your history, your other medications, and whether daily dosing or a monthly injection suits your schedule — your provider walks through the choice with you at the first visit.

Opioid use disorderBuprenorphine, three ways

SuboxoneDaily film / tablet

Buprenorphine/naloxone — reduces cravings and prevents withdrawal so you can function normally. Our most-prescribed option, available at both nearby clinics.

SublocadeMonthly injection

Extended-release buprenorphine for patients who would rather not take a daily medication. Given at the Chattanooga clinic.

BrixadiWeekly / monthly

Extended-release buprenorphine with flexible dosing intervals — weekly or monthly. Given at the Chattanooga clinic.

Alcohol use disorderInjection or daily oral

VivitrolMonthly injection

Naltrexone — blocks the reward pathway behind compulsive drinking. Given at the Chattanooga clinic.

Oral medicationsDaily tablet

Acamprosate, naltrexone, and disulfiram — daily alternatives to the monthly Vivitrol injection.

Insurance & cost

We accept TennCare (BlueCare is Hamilton County's dominant MCO), Medicaid, traditional Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Cigna, Aetna, Ambetter, and UnitedHealthcare — plus most major commercial plans. A large share of employer-sponsored coverage in the Hixson area is BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, which we accept at both nearby clinics. Most patients pay little to nothing out of pocket. If you are uninsured, self-pay is a flat $250 per month. Verify your coverage or call 423-498-2000 before your first visit.

Same-week appointments

Most Hixson patients are seen within the same week — many start Suboxone on the first visit, at the Chattanooga or Soddy-Daisy clinic.

What we treat

Evidence-based treatment for opioids and opioid-like substances — heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet), hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco), morphine, codeine, tramadol, and prescription painkillers — plus alcohol use disorder, stimulant dependence (cocaine, methamphetamine, Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse), benzodiazepine dependence (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Valium), cannabis use disorder, and co-occurring anxiety, depression, and trauma. Kratom and its concentrated derivative 7-OH can cause opioid-like dependence, and our providers treat it with MAT tailored to its distinct withdrawal profile.

Why these numbers matter in Hixson

Recovery from the 37343 ZIP

The patients we see most from Hixson are not the stereotype people picture — they are people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s with years of physical work behind them, many of whom started on a legitimate prescription after a surgery or a back injury and could not stop when it ended. Some were cut off when a prescribing doctor retired or tightened up; some tapered on their own and reached for the street supply when withdrawal hit. The clinical picture is usually more straightforward than the personal story: the right dose of buprenorphine stops the craving, keeps the receptor occupied, and lets the original pain conversation resume without the daily scramble for pills.

These are your county's numbers, and they are the best Hamilton County has seen in a decade — fatal overdoses down 38% from 2023 to 2025, EMS naloxone administrations down 34%, and suspected-overdose ER visits down 21% (from 1,003 to 797). The decline tracks wider Narcan access, a shifting street supply, and more people moving into MAT; Hamilton County runs one of only two jail-based MAT pilots in Tennessee, and the Hamilton Counted report follows the trend quarter by quarter. Fewer people are dying of overdose, but the number who need treatment has not fallen. More are surviving long enough to reach it, and we do not require any period of abstinence before you come in.

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 does not 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 2-to-3-hour first visit, most patients leave with a prescription in hand, and follow-ups are typically 30–45 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 roughly 8.7% of 37343 residents who are uninsured, self-pay is a flat $250 per month, with no policy required. There is a separate private-pay clinic on Highway 153 inside Hixson; if you are looking specifically for cash-only or premium-commercial care, that is a closer option, but for TennCare, BlueCare, commercial coverage, or flat-rate self-pay, 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, an area hospital, 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 are stable.

Getting to the clinic from Hixson

Both clinics are a short drive from Hixson, and which one is closer depends on your end of town. From the Northgate and Highway 153 corridor in central Hixson, our Chattanooga clinic on Shallowford Road is about 8 to 10 minutes south, one exit past Northgate. From the DuPont area on the west side and the Valleybrook area near the river, Hixson Pike south through Rivermont or Highway 153 both run about 10 to 12 minutes to Chattanooga. From the Big Ridge area and north toward Middle Valley, our Soddy-Daisy clinic on Walmart Drive is often the shorter trip — about 8 minutes north on 153. Soddy-Daisy runs Monday and Wednesday and prescribes daily Suboxone; the Monday–Friday Chattanooga clinic handles Sublocade, Brixadi, and Vivitrol injections, since Soddy-Daisy is oral-only.

Questions

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, and our Soddy-Daisy clinic on Walmart Drive is about 12 minutes north. We accept TennCare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance, and we offer IOP, behavioral health, integrated hepatitis C treatment, and telehealth follow-ups alongside MAT.

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

Your initial in-person evaluation runs 2 to 3 hours 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 30 to 45 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 prescribe daily Suboxone and are staffed by the same organization. For Sublocade, Brixadi, or Vivitrol injections, our Chattanooga clinic handles those, since Soddy-Daisy is oral-only. 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, traditional Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, Cigna, Aetna, Ambetter, UnitedHealthcare, and most major commercial plans. Uninsured self-pay is a flat $250 per month. 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 and time the first appointment accordingly.

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.
