The Need for Comprehensive Addiction Treatment in Chattanooga

Chattanooga, like many communities across Tennessee, has been significantly affected by the opioid crisis, alcohol dependency, and other substance use disorders. Many individuals seeking help may feel overwhelmed by the available options or may not find the specialized care they need close to home.

Common barriers faced by those in Chattanooga include:

  • Limited access to dual diagnosis care (treatment for both addiction and mental health issues)
  • Lack of programs that offer both clinical intensity and flexibility
  • Concerns about privacy, anonymity, or the influence of local triggers and environments

This is where Xplore Recovery in Ocoee offers a meaningful alternative: evidence-based treatment in a supportive, retreat-like setting that’s just a short drive from Chattanooga but far enough away to allow for real change.

Why Travel from Chattanooga to Ocoee for Treatment?

Making the decision to step outside of one’s immediate surroundings for treatment can be transformative. Even though Ocoee is only about an hour’s drive from Chattanooga, this short distance can create the physical and emotional space necessary for deep, focused healing.

Here’s why traveling to Xplore Recovery can make all the difference:

Separation from Triggers and Everyday Stressors
Remaining in the same environment where substance use occurred often exposes individuals to the same triggers, people, and stress that contributed to addiction in the first place. By stepping away from these influences, Chattanooga residents can immerse themselves fully in the recovery process. At Xplore Recovery, clients are surrounded by natural beauty and serenity—a welcome contrast to the environments that may have fueled their addiction. This physical separation often allows for greater emotional clarity, fewer distractions, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Many individuals struggling with substance use also suffer from co-occurring mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Treating both issues simultaneously is crucial for long-term recovery. Xplore Recovery’s clinical team specializes in dual diagnosis care, using evidence-based modalities to address both substance use and underlying mental health conditions. This integrated approach sets us apart from many programs closer to home that may focus solely on addiction without addressing the full scope of each client’s needs.

We offer both Partial Hospitalization Programming (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP)—two highly effective levels of care for those who need more than traditional outpatient treatment but don’t require residential care.

Our PHP includes:

  • 30 hours of structured group therapy per week (Sunday through Friday)
  • Weekly individual therapy
  • Relapse prevention, trauma therapy, life skills development, and mental health support

Our IOP provides:

  • Flexible scheduling with multiple group sessions per week
  • Ongoing individual counseling
  • Step-down care for those transitioning from higher levels of treatment


For Chattanooga residents, both programs offer the intensity needed to create lasting change while providing opportunities to transition back to daily life with confidence.

One of the key advantages Xplore Recovery offers is supportive housing for clients who travel from cities like Chattanooga. While PHP and IOP are technically outpatient levels of care, we recognize that many individuals need a safe, stable, and structured environment to support their recovery outside of therapy hours.

Our housing includes:

  • 16 beds for men
  • 12 beds for women
  • Gender-specific, supportive community settings
  • Staff oversight and peer support


Housing allows clients to avoid the stressors of commuting or returning to environments that may not support recovery, while still benefiting from the flexibility and independence that outpatient care provides.

One of the things that sets Xplore Recovery apart is our unique location along the Ocoee River, home to some of the best white-water rafting east of the Mississippi. The surrounding mountains, rivers, and forests offer opportunities for healing that simply aren’t available in an urban setting.

Although adventure therapy is not part of our insurance-billed services, clients have access to optional activities such as:

  • White-water rafting
  • Rock climbing and zip lining
  • Lacota sweat lodges
  • Mindfulness in nature


Led by our Certified Adventure Guide and Course Manager, these activities can help clients build confidence, conquer fears, and rediscover joy in sober living. 
For Chattanooga residents, who may be used to city life, the natural setting of Ocoee provides a much-needed reset—a chance to reconnect with both the environment and oneself.

Why Xplore Recovery Is the Right Choice for Chattanooga Residents

When choosing a treatment center, it’s essential to find a program that meets both clinical and personal needs. Xplore Recovery stands apart in several key ways:

Dual Diagnosis Expertise

We understand the complex relationship between mental health and addiction. Many individuals use substances as a way to self-medicate undiagnosed or untreated mental health conditions. By providing comprehensive care for both, we reduce relapse risk and improve overall wellness.

Small Community, Individualized Care

Our small program size ensures that every client receives personalized attention. With limited beds and intimate group sizes, no one gets lost in the crowd. We build close-knit communities where peer support, camaraderie, and authentic relationships thrive.

Accessible Yet Private

Located just about an hour from Chattanooga, Xplore Recovery is easily accessible for both clients and visiting family members. At the same time, our peaceful setting allows for the privacy and focus many individuals need to recover without distraction.

Housing to Support Long-Term Recovery

Our supportive housing gives clients from Chattanooga the time and space to build new habits, free from the pressures of old environments. This housing option bridges the gap between clinical care and independent living—creating a smoother transition and greater likelihood of long-term success.

Life Skills and Relapse Prevention

We don’t just focus on stopping substance use; we help clients build meaningful lives in recovery. Through life skills education, vocational support, and relapse prevention planning, our team helps individuals envision and create a future they’re excited to live.
