East TN Addiction Specialists

About East TN Addiction Specialists

East TN Addiction Specialists is an outpatient addiction medicine practice serving the Knoxville area of East Tennessee, with group counseling also offered in Maryville. They focus mainly on opioid addiction, pairing medication with counseling and an approach that looks at a person’s health, lifestyle, environment, education, and psychological needs together. Care includes outpatient Suboxone treatment, medically supervised withdrawal, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and board-certified addiction medicine physicians direct each person’s treatment.

Their medication-assisted treatment uses Suboxone to ease withdrawal and cravings, and patients who meet certain criteria can earn take-home doses. Counseling is available individually, in groups, and with family, while the IOP adds life skills training and structured therapy for people who need to keep up with work, school, or home. For those dealing with both mental health conditions and substance use, they offer integrated co-occurring treatment along with psychiatric services from nurse practitioners. Telehealth visits, an on-site lab, and an emphasis on patient confidentiality round out the program.
