Impaired Professionals Treatment Philosophy
Focus Healthcare of Tennessee
A Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center
Overview
Alcoholism and drug addiction are debilitating disorders affecting the body, mind, and spirit. With timely intervention and a comprehensive plan, the chemical dependency diseases can be successfully managed using medical detoxification and a 12-Step program for recovery and relapse prevention.
Medically managed detoxification balances concern for patient comfort with patient safety. A health history interview and physical examination is conducted by an addiction medicine specialist who designs a comprehensive plan, taking into account substance abuse patterns, co-occuring diseases, and risk factors. This integrated approach to recovery may include a comprehensive treatment team composed of:
- Patient's attending physician
- Primary & family counselors
- Psychologist & psychiatrist
- Clinical assistant
- Family Programs
