Confidentiality and Privacy

How do you maintain confidentiality from employers?

We maintain strict confidentiality protocols exceeding standard HIPAA requirements. All treatment records are protected by federal regulations (42 CFR Part 2). We don't contact employers or release information without explicit written authorization. Our facility provides discrete entry, private parking, and confidential scheduling systems.

Will using insurance create career records?

Insurance claims are protected health information under HIPAA. Employers receive only confirmation of coverage usage, not diagnosis or treatment specifics. However, some professionals prefer private pay options for maximum confidentiality—we support either choice based on individual preferences.

Licensing and Professional Concerns

Will treatment affect my professional license?

Voluntary treatment typically doesn't require reporting to licensing boards. Most states, including Tennessee, don't require self-reporting of addiction treatment when professionals voluntarily seek help. We clarify reporting requirements during assessment based on individual circumstances.

Can I continue practicing during treatment?

Many professionals maintain modified practice during intensive outpatient treatment, with monitoring and restrictions appropriate to recovery stage. Decisions about continued practice consider clinical stability, public safety, licensing board requirements, and workplace circumstances.

What if my licensing board is involved?

We have extensive experience working with Tennessee licensing boards. Our specialists coordinate treatment with board requirements, provide required documentation, and advocate for treatment over punishment approaches when appropriate.

Treatment and Program Questions

How long does treatment take?

Treatment duration varies individually. Typical timeframes: Partial Hospitalization (2-4 weeks), Intensive Outpatient (8-12 weeks), and Outpatient/Continuing Care (6-12 months or longer). We don't rush treatment—adequate duration is essential for sustainable recovery.

What treatment approaches do you use?

We utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, trauma-informed care, 12-step facilitation, and mindfulness-based interventions. Treatment is individualized to each professional's needs.

What are your success rates?

Our program achieves 85% completion rates and 78% continuous sobriety at three-year follow-up. Additionally, 92% retain professional licensure after treatment and 88% return to full practice within one year—outcomes exceeding national averages.
