Whether beginning or continuing the healing journey, Knoxville walks beside clients for as long as it takes.

Knoxville Recovery Center takes a personalized approach, beginning each client’s journey with careful assessments to guide their treatment plan. Their programs integrate evidence-based therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), offered in both group and one-on-one settings. Clients also participate in therapies like art and music therapy, yoga, Qi Gong, breathwork, meditation, and experiential practices that nurture the mind, body, and spirit.
