At Summit at Knoxville, our Residential Treatment Center (RTC) provides an immersive, structured, and profoundly supportive environment where healing and lasting change can take root. Located at 1016 Ic King Rd, Seymour, TN 37865, our facility is a dedicated haven for those in East Tennessee ready to commit to intensive recovery.
The Urgent Need for Residential Care in Tennessee
Residential treatment is often recommended for individuals who require a higher level of care than outpatient settings can provide, but do not need acute hospitalization. It removes you from the triggers and stresses of your daily environment, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in therapeutic work, skill-building, and self-discovery. This focused environment is critical for addressing the complex interplay of factors contributing to substance use disorders and mental health conditions.
The need for such comprehensive care is evident in Tennessee. Statistics highlight the critical demand:
- Substance Use Disorder (SUD): 17.15% of Tennesseans (aged 12+) experienced a past-year SUD, with young adults (18-25) showing particularly high rates at 27.31%.
- Serious Mental Illness (SMI): 6.66% of adults (aged 18+) live with SMI, indicating a higher-than-average severe mental health burden.
- High Demand for Residential Treatment: Statewide data from 2023 shows that residential utilization rates for SUD treatment facilities are at 80.2%, underscoring these programs’ crucial role in addressing the state’s behavioral health needs.
At Summit at Knoxville, we proudly offer specialized residential programs to meet these challenges head-on.

Residential Substance Use Treatment
Our Residential Substance Use Treatment program provides comprehensive and intensive care specifically designed for individuals overcoming drug and alcohol dependence. This program is ideal for those who have completed detox (which can be seamlessly managed within our integrated facility) or who require a structured environment to address the complexities of their addiction.
We understand that addiction is a multifaceted disease, not a moral failing. Our program addresses the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of substance use disorders. Clients engage in a robust daily schedule of therapeutic activities, including:
- Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions to explore personal triggers and underlying trauma and develop tailored coping strategies. Our Medical Director, Dr. Brian Fuller, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist with expertise in trauma and addiction, ensures a responsible and integrated approach to care.
- Group Therapy: Daily group sessions provide a supportive community where patients can share experiences, build accountability, and practice new communication skills. We utilize evidence-based modalities like Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
- Psychoeducation: Clients learn about the neurobiology of addiction, relapse prevention techniques, and strategies for managing cravings and high-risk situations.
- Family Programs: We offer initiatives designed to involve family members in the treatment process through weekly Zoom calls, fostering understanding, improving communication, and facilitating healing within the family unit—a crucial aspect of long-term recovery.
- Wellness Activities: Guided morning hikes and daily outdoor basketball promote physical health and provide healthy outlets.
This program is designed for patients to immerse themselves fully in recovery, away from external distractions, and build a strong foundation for a sober future.
