Helen Ross McNabb Center

About Helen Ross McNabb Center

Helen Ross McNabb Center is a nonprofit behavioral health organization serving East Tennessee, including Morristown, with mental health, substance use, social, and victim services for people from infancy through adulthood. Their substance use care spans a full continuum, from medical detox and residential treatment to intensive outpatient programming, medication-assisted treatment, and recovery and peer support. The state has designated them a Co-Occurring Disorders Enhanced provider, meaning addiction and mental health treatment are closely integrated for people dealing with both. They also run crisis services, including a Crisis Stabilization Unit in Morristown for adults who need a safe place to regroup during a psychiatric crisis.

Their medical detox serves adults facing high-risk withdrawal from opioids, alcohol, or other substances, with nurses and clinicians following physician-approved protocols. Residential treatment is available for both adolescents and adults and combines education with group and individual therapy aimed at building a healthier lifestyle. Intensive outpatient programs run 9 to 12 hours per week and offer gender-specific and youth groups based on each person’s age and needs, while medication-assisted treatment pairs counseling and behavioral therapy with medications such as Vivitrol or buprenorphine. Veterans, service members, and their families can also access a privately funded military services program at no cost, where specially trained therapists address substance use, PTSD, depression, and co-occurring conditions.
