About Cherokee Health Systems Union County Maynardville
Cherokee Health Systems is a health center located in Union County, Maynardville, Tennessee that offers mental health and addiction treatment services. Support is available to young people and adults regardless of gender, race or background. In terms of payment they accept private insurance options. Financial assistance, sliding fee scales and substance use grants are also available to those eligible.
This location only accepts clients by appointment. However, you can easily make an appointment at this facility just by phoning in. In terms of the services clients can benefit from here, individual, couples and family psychotherapy is available.
This can look like solution-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy or ACT as well as trauma-focused methods. Structured group therapy programs are also available specifically for substance use disorder. This outpatient group takes place on Zoom over eight weeks so it’s ideal for anyone who may not be able to make in-person meet-ups. Participants must be sober in order to attend, as the group follows an abstinence-based model.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills groups are also an option. These combine meditative practices, behavioral techniques, as well as acceptance strategies to help participants improve their emotional regulation and interpersonal skills.
Peer support is also available as an activity program that helps participants build on their recovery and wellness skills. While these are mostly provided for mental health clients, the center also provides similar peer support groups specifically for those struggling with substance use.
Similarly, wellness coaching offers regular sessions but on a one-to-one basis. The focus here is on assessment and intervention to establish wellness goals and needs. These sessions can be used as part of a weekly action plan for those in addiction recovery.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved naltrexone and buprenorphine alongside other behavioral health treatments in a group or individual format is also a super effective solution for many clients struggling with addiction.
