Volunteer Behavioral Health – Hiwassee Mental Health Center

Located in Madisonville, Tennessee is the Volunteer Behavioral Health Hiwassee Mental Health Center. This is a center that supports children, adolescents, and adults who have behavioral health needs. There are dedicated programs for adults who are working through a substance use disorder.

The care here extends to people from all walks of life including individuals who are homeless, veterans, children who are exhibiting at risk behaviors, and children involved in the juvenile justice system.

The services here are offered in an outpatient setting and there is a mobile crisis response unit that can deploy during a moment of crisis. This clinic also offers what’s known as their No Wrong Door policy. You can come into the Hiwassee Mental Health Center or any other center under the Volunteer Behavioral Health Network and receive care the same day.

The outpatient addiction recovery program here is really robust. You’ll work with psychiatrists, addiction counselors, and other mental health professionals who will help you evaluate and understand your triggers and emotions as they relate to your recovery journey.

Through their case management support you’ll also get connected to different services through Volunteer Behavioral Health and your local community. For example, there is a school based behavioral health liaison that works with children ensuring that their needs are addressed both in the clinic and at school.

You’ll have access to the PATH program here, also known as the Project for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness. If you’re struggling with housing insecurity, this program can help you find a safe place to live as you work through your substance abuse recovery program.

There are also specialized programs for veterans and their families, helping them get the access they need to trauma informed care and other specialized services.
