Groups Recover Together
Kingsport, Tennessee
163 treatment centers across Tennessee offering Recovery Coaching Programs.

Peer recovery support is reported by all 163 Tennessee treatment centers listed here — a service that only about 28% of centers across the wider directory report, making it roughly 3.6 times more common in this group. Another unusual detail: 97 of the 154 Tennessee centers reporting on languages say they can serve people in ASL, about 63% against 36% directory-wide.
Recovery coaching is non-clinical, relationship-based help from someone trained in peer support. A coach works on the practical machinery of staying well — appointments, transport, housing paperwork, employment, family strain, what to do at 9pm on a hard night — and is not a therapist, prescriber or medical provider.
Coaching here rarely stands alone: 159 of the 163 Tennessee centers also report outpatient rehab, 154 report medication-assisted treatment and 151 report aftercare or continuing care. Ask which combination a program actually delivers before you commit to travel.
Sober living is reported by 41 of the 163 Tennessee centers, about 25% against 11% across the directory — more than twice as common. For someone leaving residential care in another county, that pairing can decide where they land.
Coaching is not the right starting point for someone in acute withdrawal, in psychiatric crisis, or needing 24-hour supervision — those situations call for medical detox or inpatient assessment first. Of these Tennessee listings, 153 report treating co-occurring disorders, so a clinical evaluation can usually happen under the same roof.
Rural distance is a real barrier in Tennessee, and 28 of the 62 centers reporting on amenities say transportation is provided, about 45% against 28% directory-wide. Adolescent access is narrower: 84 of the 163 serve ages 13 to 17, while all 163 serve adults 26 to 64 and 154 serve seniors 65 and older.
Facilities offering substance use services in Tennessee are licensed by the state's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, and peer support roles are typically filled by workers who hold a state peer recovery credential. Ask any program who supervises its coaches and what training they carry — the listings here show that 140 of the 163 Tennessee centers report state licensure.
Tennessee runs its Medicaid program as TennCare, and 126 of these centers report accepting Medicaid while 123 report state-funded or free options. That matters most in the rural stretches of West Tennessee and the Cumberland Plateau, where people often drive an hour or more toward Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga or the Tri-Cities — or choose a program closer to family instead of the nearest one.
Peer recovery support is the most commonly reported service in this set of listings — all 163 Tennessee centers here report offering it, compared with about 28% of centers across the wider directory. Alongside it, 159 report outpatient rehab, 154 report medication-assisted treatment and 151 report aftercare or continuing care, so coaching is usually attached to a broader program rather than sold on its own.
It depends entirely on your plan, so confirm benefits with your insurer and with the facility before you start. Of the Tennessee centers listed here, 146 report accepting private insurance, 126 report Medicaid, 121 report TRICARE and 103 report Medicare; 33 of the 149 reporting on it list Ambetter, which is a higher share than the directory average.
There is no fixed length. Peer support is often open-ended and may continue for months after clinical treatment ends, or run only as long as an outpatient episode lasts — ask the specific program how it structures sessions and when it typically steps back.
Do not assume a figure. Cost varies with your plan, the facility and whether coaching is bundled into another service; 150 of the 163 Tennessee centers here report accepting self-pay, and 123 report state-funded or free options, so ask both the facility and your insurer what you would owe.
Ask who the coach is credentialed by, whether the program is licensed — 140 of these Tennessee listings report state licensure, 78 are SAMHSA-listed, 67 hold CARF accreditation and 39 hold Joint Commission — and whether the practical details fit your life, such as evening hours, transportation or ASL.
Most programs start with a phone call and an intake conversation about your history, substances involved and any co-occurring conditions. Because coaching here is usually attached to outpatient care, the admissions process often includes an assessment that determines what level of care is appropriate first.
Use the city pages beneath this one to narrow by area, then contact facilities directly with their own listed details. If you live in a rural county, note that 28 of the 62 Tennessee centers reporting on amenities say they provide transportation.
No. Coaching is peer and practical support, not medical care. Someone withdrawing from alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines needs a medical assessment first, and anyone in immediate danger should call or text 988, or 911 in an emergency.
Peer coaching in Tennessee is nearly always attached to something larger, so ask what else a program runs alongside it — outpatient care, MAT, sober living, aftercare — and whether hours and travel work from where you live. There are 163 Tennessee centers listed here, each with its own contact details, and you approach them directly. If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call or text 988, or 911 in an emergency.
