About us
The Child and Youth Center of the Helen Ross McNabb Center in Knoxville, Tennessee, focuses on providing mental health and drug addiction assistance to kids and teenagers. Young people may continue living at home while getting the attention they need thanks to the center’s outpatient treatment program. Accessible treatment for individuals in need is ensured via payment choices such as self-pay, Medicaid, Medicare, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
The center’s strategy is focused on offering compassionate, adaptable treatment that fits each person’s requirements and schedule. The majority of clients get nine to twelve hours of weekly therapy and addiction education, which aids in the development of critical life skills necessary for relapse prevention, trigger management, and community success.
The peer assistance program of the Helen Ross McNabb Center is one of its distinctive features. A committed peer support expert who has had a comparable recovery process is matched with clients. During the healing process, this peer may provide insightful, first-hand counsel, motivation, and emotional support.
Although many customers value the staff’s empathy and concern, others have complained about communication problems when attempting to make appointments. With programs that support “Well Mind, Well Being” from birth to maturity, the center continues to be an essential resource for kids and teenagers in East Tennessee.
The Helen Ross McNabb Center was established in 1948 with the goal of helping those with the greatest needs and the fewest resources. The center’s dedication to providing compassionate, community-focused treatment is shown by the more than 45,000 individuals it supports each year across East Tennessee.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve 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 centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll 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.
