The Guidance Center Murfreesboro

About The Guidance Center Murfreesboro – Murfreesboro, Tennessee

The Guidance Center is an outpatient treatment center for behavioral health in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. That means they treat mental health issues along with drug and alcohol addiction and similar needs. This location is part of the Volunteer Behavioral Health network.

As I mentioned, this facility is an outpatient treatment center so you’ll live at home and come to the center for your treatment. For addiction, they can help with individual and group therapy to help you understand your addiction and work through the challenges in your recovery journey.

They have an intensive outpatient program (IOP), too, which is a structured program where you come to the center several days a week for treatment. This can be a good step down from residential rehab or an option if you don’t need the intensity and immersion of residential treatment.

As part of their addiction treatment, this facility has medication assisted treatment (MAT). This is an option for people who have opioid addiction or alcohol addiction. It uses specialized medications to reduce your withdrawal symptoms and cravings and it’s a useful technique alongside therapy.

I think it’s important to note that this facility can help adults as well as kids and teenagers. Everything here is individualized so they can set you or your child up with the services you need. The network also has other levels of care in other locations like detox centers, so they can connect you with higher levels of care if you need. I also think it’s notable that they have specialized services for veterans, and that they have telehealth options.

The reviews for this treatment center aren’t great. Multiple people say that the management treats the employees poorly and, in some cases, it causes clients to lose therapists that they have come to trust and respect. Some clients do have positive experiences here, so your experience could vary.
