Addiction Treatment Near Signal Mountain, TN

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. Follow-up visits step down from weekly to every two weeks to monthly.

Your first visit typically takes 2 to 3 hours and follows a four-step flow: intake (DSM-5 assessment + COWS score for opioid use disorder), counseling, a doctor evaluation, and 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, which helps with heavy work schedules.

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. Our Chattanooga clinic treats anxiety, depression, and trauma with or without addiction treatment. The first visit for that care is in person there; after that, visits can be by telehealth.

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 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.
• Oral medications for alcohol use disorder — acamprosate, naltrexone, and disulfiram — are also prescribed as daily alternatives to the monthly Vivitrol injection.

The long-prescription patient

You may have been on a prescription opioid for years — sometimes more than a decade — for a legitimate medical reason, and quietly recognized that the relationship with the medication has changed. Hydrocodone after a spinal fusion. Oxycodone after knee and hip replacements. Percocet for chronic migraines. Tramadol that slowly escalated from "as needed" to "every day." The original prescription was appropriate. The prescriber was competent. The dependency developed without anyone making a mistake, because that is how tolerance and physical dependence work. The conversation we have is a clinical one about transitioning safely to buprenorphine, not a conversation about fault. In most cases, the primary care physician or specialist who has been managing the prescription is relieved to coordinate with us on the transition, and your other medical care continues exactly as it has been.

The high-functioning professional

Some people hold positions where the public-facing version of their lives cannot accommodate a visible treatment episode. The partner at the law firm. The physician on a hospital staff. The executive with a board of directors. The retired superintendent or judge. The schoolteacher or the school administrator. The spouse of someone whose name is in the paper. For people in those roles, residential treatment is rarely a realistic option — a thirty-day absence is not explainable in their work or social context — and that can be one of the reasons a dependency goes on as long as it does. Outpatient buprenorphine, with most visits after the first one conducted via telehealth from a home office, is the model specifically designed for this situation.

The small-community privacy concern

Signal Mountain is, in the functional sense, a small town. People recognize each other's cars. Kids go to school together for twelve years. Church memberships overlap. The grocery store on Taft is a social space as much as a commercial one. Our Chattanooga clinic sits on Shallowford Road, off the mountain and well outside the orbit of anyone you would expect to encounter at Pruett's, at the MACC (Mountain Arts Community Center), at a school pickup, or at the Signal Mountain Golf and Country Club. More importantly, every record in your chart is covered by HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 — the strictest federal privacy standard for substance use treatment. Nothing in your chart can be released to a family member, an employer, a colleague, or another provider without your explicit written consent, except in limited cases the law allows, such as a medical emergency or a court order.

The spouse who noticed

Sometimes the person coming in is not the person who first recognized the problem. A spouse noticed the count was off. An adult child home from college noticed medication in unexpected places. A partner reviewed the credit card statement and counted the number of different pharmacies. When that happens, the family conversation may already have taken place by the time you arrive at our clinic. What is needed at that point is a medically-sound next step that does not blow up the rest of the household, and we are built for that. First visits are scheduled discreetly. Paperwork references Restoration Recovery, not the nature of the treatment. The clinic itself sits in a medical-professional building that looks like any other outpatient office.

The prescription-to-supply transition

Some people have made the transition from prescription supply to non-prescription supply — usually reluctantly, usually after a provider tapered or discontinued the prescription faster than the physical dependency allowed for. Some have bought pills from a friend, a former coworker, a housekeeper, a contractor. Some have used the internet. A handful have purchased what was sold as a pharmaceutical pill and turned out to be something else, which is an increasingly common and increasingly dangerous scenario given how much of the current illicit pill supply contains fentanyl. None of this is a disqualifier for treatment. The evaluation is the same. The medication is the same. The clinical conversation is the same. Whatever the supply was, we evaluate where you are now and start treatment from there.

Telehealth for the mountain

After your initial in-person evaluation, the majority of ongoing care — medication management, counseling, check-ins — can happen on secure video telehealth from your home office, your car on a lunch break, or a quiet room at work. The only appointments that have to happen in person after intake are the long-acting injections (Sublocade and Vivitrol every four weeks; Brixadi weekly or monthly) and any visit your provider asks you to come in for. For a stable patient on a monthly injection, that means one drive down the mountain for each injection, and everything else can stay remote.
