Educare

Educare appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: State-licensed. You can verify this yourself at findtreatment.gov — we are not affiliated with this center and are not paid by it.

According to its federal listing, Educare accepts self-payment. It also offers a sliding fee scale, meaning what you pay is based on your income. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 615-905-5182 before you rely on it.

We don't publish prices, because no directory can quote you an accurate one — the real cost depends on your coverage, the level of care, and how long you stay. What we can tell you is that Educare reports a sliding fee scale based on income, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.

Educare reports offering IOP and Outpatient care. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.

Its listed treatment approaches include anger management, brief intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, matrix model and relapse prevention. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.

Yes — Educare reports dedicated programming for veterans. Veterans may also be eligible for VA-funded substance-use treatment, which is worth checking alongside this center.
