About us
Located in Kingsport, Tennessee, Holston Counseling, which is associated with Frontier Health, provides outpatient therapy services for adults, adolescents, and children. Treating mental health, drug abuse, and co-occurring illnesses is their main area of interest. The provision of in-home and community-based case management services, which guarantees clients are linked to crucial community resources and aids in their successful integration of therapy into everyday life, is a noteworthy aspect of Holston Counseling.
The Mother Child Connection is one of their specialty programs, intended for moms who are struggling with drug abuse concerns.

Out of 10
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.
