Same-week appointments at our active Tennessee clinics
Restoration Recovery operates four outpatient MAT clinics. Each treats kratom and 7-OH dependence with the same buprenorphine-based protocol. Walk-in appointments are not accepted; all visits are scheduled, and same-week intake is the standard at the active TN locations.
- Chattanooga (Mon–Fri) — flagship clinic at 6141 Shallowford Rd, Suite 100. Full MAT formulary including Suboxone, Sublocade, and Brixadi; on-site Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP); integrated behavioral health; Hepatitis C care.
- Cleveland (Tue/Thu) — 2130 Chambliss Avenue NW, Bradley County. Full MAT formulary including injections; same-week intake possible Tuesday or Thursday. 30-minute drive south to Chattanooga if you need IOP or behavioral health.
- Soddy-Daisy (Mon/Wed) — 210 Walmart Drive, Suite 100, northern Hamilton County. Suboxone film and tablet, oral medications for alcohol use disorder, individual counseling, telehealth follow-ups, and Hepatitis C care. No injections at this location; if you prefer Sublocade or Brixadi, we will route you to Chattanooga or Cleveland.
- Ringgold (GA, Friday) — 4962 Battlefield Parkway, Catoosa County. Our Ringgold clinic is preparing to begin scheduling. Call 423-498-2000 to be added to the wait list and we will route you to one of the active Tennessee clinics in the meantime.
One number for all four: 423-498-2000. Each clinic links to its own page with drive routes, photos, and county catchment detail.
What it costs in Tennessee
TennCare patient cost is typically $0 (BlueCare, Wellpoint, and UHC Community Plan) via the BESMART preferred-buprenorphine program at our TennCare-enrolled clinics. Commercial insurance is covered by major Tennessee carriers including BCBS, UHC, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana — verify your specific plan. Self-pay is $250 per month flat with no sliding-scale.
For the full coverage breakdown by carrier, see our 2026 TennCare MAT Coverage Tracker.
What if you're not ready to commit to MAT today
Some people who land on this page are not ready to start medication-assisted treatment in the next week. That is a fine place to start a conversation with us — we would rather hear from you when you are weighing options than have you struggle alone.
Talk to one of our counselors first — no commitment to start treatment
A 30-minute counselor consult is covered by most insurance plans and does not require a doctor visit. It is useful if you want to understand what tapering off 7-OH actually looks like, weigh the difference between the four clinics, ask about insurance and cost, or just talk through whether MAT is right for you. Same callback form, same phone number, same insurance verification.
If you're considering tapering at home
Tapering off concentrated 7-OH products at home is materially harder than tapering off leaf-kratom because of dose-equivalence and binding-affinity differences. Our guide to tapering off kratom covers the realistic timeline and the warning signs that tapering is not working — the article itself recommends supervised treatment for 7-OH dependence specifically.
What we don't do
Restoration Recovery is an outpatient MAT specialty clinic. We do not operate a detoxification program, residential treatment, or methadone maintenance. If your clinical picture needs one of those settings — for instance, severe withdrawal requiring medical observation, or an environment where you are physically separated from substance use — the federal SAMHSA findtreatment.gov directory can help you find local programs.
FAQ for legal-change-driven kratom decisions
Will Tennessee's kratom and 7-OH ban affect my access to treatment?
No. The legislation targets retail sale and manufacture of kratom and 7-OH products in Tennessee. It does not restrict buprenorphine prescribing or treatment access. Patients in MAT for kratom or 7-OH dependence can continue receiving care without interruption. For bill detail and federal context, see our Tennessee Kratom & 7-OH Ban Law tracker.
Can I stay on kratom while starting treatment?
Brief stabilization on a known dose is generally safer than abrupt discontinuation. At your first appointment, the doctor will ask about your current use and discuss whether to taper, induct on buprenorphine, or use a different approach. Be honest about your current use on intake — clinical decisions depend on accurate information. Anything you share is protected by HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 (the federal rule that specifically shields addiction-treatment records).
How fast can I actually start?
Same-week intake is the standard at our active Tennessee clinics. The typical timeline: first call to first appointment is 1-3 days; the first dose of buprenorphine is often same-day as your first appointment (provided your COWS score is high enough); full stabilization on the medication takes 1-2 weeks. Follow-ups during stabilization are typically telehealth.
Where can I find a clinical deep-dive on the medications and withdrawal?
Our comprehensive Kratom & 7-OH Addiction Treatment hub covers the MAT science, withdrawal timeline by day, signs of dependence, the four clinics in detail, and academic citations. This page is a short action-shaped landing for Tennessee residents reacting to the legal change; the hub is where the depth lives.
Restoration Recovery's intake team answers calls Monday through Friday, 9am to 4:30pm Eastern. After hours, leave a message or fill out the callback form and we will respond on the next business day.
