Treatment Services and Program Design

Treatment Services and Program Design is responsible for planning, developing, administering, and evaluating a statewide system of services for the treatment of persons whose use of alcohol and/or other drugs has resulted in patterns of abuse or addiction. Goals of Treatment Services and Program Design include providing a continuum of care which is available, accessible, and responsive to all Tennesseans needing treatment. An effective continuum of care must include outreach, early identification and intervention, assessment, placement and movement within appropriate levels of treatment, and aftercare and support services within the recovery phase.


Division-funded treatment services are provided through contracts with community based organizations. All contracted providers must be chartered as not-for-profit organizations or be a local government entity and be licensed by the Tennessee Department of Health to deliver specific levels of alcohol and drug treatment services. Division funding is primarily targeted to providing services to persons with no other means of paying for treatment. Division funding is also made available to support substance abuse services to targeted populations with special needs including pregnant women, women with dependent children, adolescents, and persons at risk for or infected with HIV.
