Focus Treatment Centers

About Focus Treatment Centers – Chattanooga, Tennessee

Focus Treatment Centers is a private eating disorder and drug and alcohol rehab program. They’re in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They give adults treatment through medical detox, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and dual diagnosis treatment. Focus Treatment Centers utilizes a whole person approach to treatment.

Onsite medical detox is usually the first step for those seeking addiction treatment. Clients remain under the supervision of staff who help them manage withdrawal symptoms and prepare them for the next steps of treatment. The length of this stage depends on the severity of a client’s symptoms, but it’s typically a short term process.

Residential treatment is a high level of care for those with severe symptoms. It provides both a structured environment and 24 hour supervision. Treatment takes place with small groups in an intimate, home-like setting. Services offered include individual and family therapy, 12 Step meetings, life skills training, and stress management. It also includes relapse prevention, family programs, therapeutic activities, art therapy, and adventure programming.

PHP is the highest level of day treatment available with clients spending much of each day in treatment at the facility and returning home at night. It includes group therapy, drug and alcohol testing, the development of life and coping skills, and nutritional counseling.

IOP is used as a step down following completion of the inpatient program or PHP. Clients meet three times a week for group therapy and to continue working on coping skills. Like PHP, it also includes drug and alcohol screenings and nutritional counseling.

Aftercare at this facility takes the form of alumni groups and meetings. You’ll stay connected with your peers as a support group.

Focus Treatment Centers works with many insurance plans, including Cigna, Optum, Humana, Magellan, MultiPlan, and others. Out of network benefits may vary, so clients considering a treatment plan are urged to confirm coverage with their plan.
