About Focus Treatment Centers

Focus Treatment Centers is a substance use treatment facility located at 7429 Shallowford Road in Chattanooga, Tennessee, serving the greater Chattanooga area. The center operates around the clock — 24 hours a day — and provides individualized recovery care for people dealing with addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. For individuals and families urgently searching for a medically supervised setting, Focus Treatment Centers offers a full continuum of care under one roof.

The facility’s levels of care begin with medical detox, making it a direct option for people who need supervised withdrawal management before transitioning into longer-term treatment. From there, clients can step into residential treatment for immersive, round-the-clock support, or move to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for structured care with more flexibility. A standard outpatient program is also available for those in earlier or later stages of the recovery process. This full spectrum — from inpatient detox through outpatient — means clients can progress through levels of care without changing facilities.

Treatment at Focus Treatment Centers incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), two clinically grounded methods used to address both the psychological and physiological dimensions of addiction. The facility treats a broad range of conditions including alcohol addiction, opioid addiction, methamphetamine addiction, cocaine addiction, marijuana use disorder, hallucinogen addiction, dual diagnosis, trauma and PTSD, and several eating disorder diagnoses. That range of conditions treated sets Focus apart from programs that address only substance use in isolation.

Focus Treatment Centers serves men, women, young adults ages 18 to 25, veterans, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The facility also offers HIV/AIDS support. Aftercare resources include an alumni program, support groups, support group events, and dedicated support for families — extending the center’s involvement beyond the formal treatment episode. Payment is accepted through private insurance and self-pay, and admissions staff can be reached directly at (423) 308-2560.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Chattanooga

For people facing acute withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, methamphetamine, or other substances, Focus Treatment Centers provides medical detox as the first and most critical step in treatment. The facility operates 24 hours a day, meaning clinical support is available at any hour — a key factor when withdrawal symptoms can escalate quickly and unpredictably.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is among the therapeutic approaches used at Focus, allowing clinicians to deploy FDA-approved medications as part of the withdrawal management process. This combination of around-the-clock availability and MAT support makes the detox program appropriate for individuals who need medically supervised care before stepping into residential or outpatient treatment.

Levels of Care: From Inpatient Detox to Outpatient Programs

Focus Treatment Centers offers four distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and a standard outpatient program. This continuum allows clients to begin at the level of intensity their clinical situation requires and transition through lower levels of care as they stabilize — without the disruption of changing providers.

Residential treatment provides structured, immersive support for those who need more than detox alone. The IOP offers a middle ground — structured programming with the ability to live outside the facility. For those further along in their recovery or managing milder presentations, the outpatient program provides ongoing clinical engagement. Facility features include comfortable rooms and a relaxed atmosphere designed to support that transition.

Co-Occurring Conditions and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Addiction rarely presents in isolation. Focus Treatment Centers addresses a wide range of co-occurring conditions alongside substance use disorders, including dual diagnosis, trauma and PTSD, and a comprehensive list of eating disorder diagnoses — among them anorexia, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, orthorexia, and body dysmorphic disorder. This scope distinguishes Focus from programs that treat only the addiction component.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the core therapeutic methods used at the facility, providing a structured framework for addressing the thought patterns that underlie both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Clients dealing with complex presentations — substance use layered on top of trauma or an eating disorder, for example — have access to treatment that accounts for the full clinical picture.

Who Focus Treatment Centers Serves

The facility serves a diverse adult population, with specific program support for veterans, young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, men, women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those requiring HIV/AIDS support. This breadth of population coverage means that people with distinct needs or backgrounds are less likely to encounter gaps in appropriate care.

Aftercare is built into the model. Focus offers an alumni program, ongoing support groups, support group events, and structured support for families — recognizing that the period after formal treatment carries its own risks and challenges. For admissions inquiries, the center can be reached at (423) 308-2560 or by email at admissions@focustn.com.
