About Hiwassee Mental Health Center – Athens
Volunteer Behavioral Health’s Athens Campus is a nonprofit behavioral health and drug and alcohol addiction treatment facility. You’ll find ‘em in Athens, Tennessee. They serve children and adults afflicted by addiction, mental illness, or co-occurring disorders with intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and general outpatient programs (OP). They also offer supervised probation offender treatment and offer military/VA evaluations.
IOP is a high intensity day treatment program, ideal for clients with severe symptoms but who don’t need the supervision and strict structure of an inpatient program. IOP meets three days each week for at least three hours. It may include group therapy, peer support, medication management, case management, and psychological assessments.
OP is less intensive than IOP and is best suited for those who have completed a higher level of treatment previously.
Outpatient treatment is available via telehealth. That way, you won’t have to worry about in-person visits if it’s not convenient on your end.
They also provide housing assistance to qualifying clients. By covering your basic necessities, you’ll have less stress and a reduced chance of a relapse.
Their staff accepts many third party insurance plans (which may include Beacon, Anthem, Aetna, HCSC, TRICARE, and others). Out of network benefits may vary, so clients should confirm coverage with their plan.
