About Cherokee Health Systems – Alcoa
Cherokee Health Systems of Alcoa, Tennessee, is a healthcare center providing mental health and substance abuse treatment. Clients of all ages can receive outpatient care and mental healthcare, while adults can receive outpatient drug rehab treatment and medication assisted treatment (MAT). They can also help mental health clients find employment.
The outpatient program provides integrated care in a day treatment setting, eliminating the need for hospital admission. Outpatient care is also less restrictive than inpatient or residential treatment. Services offered include psychotherapy (for individuals, groups, and families), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), peer support, psychiatric treatment, and medication management.
Care coordination services are available. Children can also receive treatment in school. For children and teens, they’ll place you in a program that has behavioral services. One example is psychiatric medication management. There’s also schooling so students don’t fall behind. A Head Start program can help your kids keep up with their classes and cognitive development.
MAT compliments the therapy clients receive for substance use disorder (SUD) with buprenorphine and naltrexone, two medications approved by the FDA to reduce withdrawal symptoms.
In addition to Medicare and Medicaid, Cherokee Health Systems accepts most commercial insurance plans (which may include Beacon, Anthem, Wellmark, HCSC, and Cigna). Clients are urged to confirm coverage with their provider, as out of network benefits may vary.
