About us
The McNabb Center is a nonprofit provider of substance use, mental health, and social services in Knoxville, Tennessee, offering a full continuum of care for substance use treatment. Located in Knoxville, the center provides an array of services including intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), residential treatment, detox, medication-assisted therapy, and recovery support, addressing the needs of both adults and adolescents.
The McNabb Center’s medical detox program is designed to help adults safely manage withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or other substances. Under physician-approved protocols, medical staff ensure that patients are treated safely and comfortably during the detox process.
For those requiring more structured care, inpatient treatment is available for both adolescents and adults with substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health conditions. This program includes addiction education, group and individual therapy, and focuses on wellness, healthy lifestyle habits, and achieving sustained recovery. The center’s integration of co-occurring disorder treatment has earned it the designation of a Co-Occurring Disorders Enhanced facility.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at the McNabb Center caters to both adults and adolescents, providing youth and gender-specific groups to meet individual needs. The IOP includes nine to twelve hours of structured therapy and education per week, offering a robust support system for those transitioning from inpatient care or those needing intensive support while maintaining their daily responsibilities.
Medication-assisted therapy (MAT) at the McNabb Center combines behavioral therapy with FDA-approved medications such as buprenorphine and Vivitrol. These medications help relieve withdrawal symptoms and support participants in maintaining their recovery.
Peer support and recovery support are crucial components of the McNabb Center’s treatment approach. These programs offer mutual support and connection, which are essential to the recovery process.
The McNabb Center accepts various forms of payment, including cash or self-payment, state-financed plans, Medicaid, private health insurance, and federal substance use program funding. This flexibility ensures that a wide range of clients can access the necessary treatment.
As the region’s leading nonprofit provider of mental health, substance use, social, and victim services, the McNabb Center focuses on the holistic well-being of individuals, promoting a “Well Mind, Well Being” approach. Since its founding in 1948, the center has proudly served those with the most needs and the fewest resources. Today, the McNabb Center delivers support to more than 45,000 people throughout East Tennessee each year, continuing its mission of providing quality and compassionate care from infancy through adulthood.
The McNabb Center is accredited by CARF, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of care and service delivery.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That’s why we’ve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You’ll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
