Pathways of Tennessee Inc

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Martin is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Union City offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They treat young people from 12 up, so a parent calling from Union City about a teenager is in the right place.

They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Union City offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Union City.

The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. Understating the amount is the common mistake, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. If the call goes badly, call somewhere else. They are not all the same.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask what the criteria for leaving are, because some programs have them written down.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary calls an intake line takes. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.
