Welcome to

HOPE of East Tennessee

Hope of East Tennessee, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit organization providing high quality, evidence-based treatment for men and women who suffer from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. Hope was chartered in 1976 and is governed by a volunteer board of directors.

We have residential program (Opportunity House) for men and will be opening a residential program for women (Serenity Springs) in early 2024. We also offer IOP (intensive outpatient treatment), transitional living, alcohol and drug education groups and alcohol and drug assessments.

We are funded under grants from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. We also accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee and TennCare United Healthcare, Amerigroup, Blue Care and self- pay on a sliding scale.

Our Philosophy

We believe that addiction is a disease that, if left untreated, will become chronic, progressive and fatal. The disease of addiction affects the individual physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. All areas of the person’s life are affected and eventually destroyed if help is not sought. At Hope we utilize the latest evidencebased practices along with treatment modalities that have proven effective for decades. We strongly recommend involvement in a 12-step fellowship of some type such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Drug Addicts Anonymous or Celebrate Recovery or some other activity to enhance the clients spiritual wellbeing. We follow a "No Wrong Door" approach to ensure individuals receive the most appropriate direct care or referral they are in need of. Our compassionate, empathetic and experienced staff and providers will aid the individual in navigating the substance abuse, mental health, medical treatment, and social services systems. Our outreach is part of a systemic effort to meet the needs of individuals through direct provision of services or referral to a collaborating provider within the human services community.

Our Mission

Our mission at Hope of East Tennessee, Inc., in collaboration with local community behavioral health providers and other social service agencies is to provide the highest quality treatment and supportive services for men and women seeking recovery from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders. Our goal is to maintain an empathetic, ethical, responsive and professional culture in our programs. We are dedicated to creating an environment of opportunity, choice and hope.
