Chattanooga Mental Health Treatment Programs

We offer a full continuum of care so that treatment fits your life. Our programs are designed to meet people at different stages of their mental health journey.

Residential Inpatient Treatment

Our residential program provides 24/7 support in a structured, therapeutic setting. It’s the highest level of care we offer and is ideal for people who need intensive stabilization and round-the-clock clinical support.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is a step down from inpatient care. Clients participate in treatment most of the day, then return home or to our supportive housing in the evenings. It’s structured, intensive, and effective.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP allows clients to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while still receiving substantial clinical support. Sessions meet several times a week and cover therapy, skill-building, and group work.

Virtual Programs

Can’t make it to our Chattanooga facility in person? Our virtual program delivers the same quality of care from the comfort of your home. It’s a flexible option that removes barriers to treatment.

Understanding Mental Disorders

A mental disorder is a condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, or behaves. Mental disorders are caused by a combination of genetics, life experiences, brain chemistry, and environment. They are also common. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five adults in the U.S. experiences a mental health condition each year.

Getting a proper diagnosis is the first step. At Time Wellness Tennessee, every client receives a thorough psychiatric evaluation so we can understand what you’re facing and build a treatment plan around it.

Mental Health Challenges in Chattanooga

Chattanooga is a vibrant, growing city. But like communities across Tennessee, it faces real mental health challenges. Access to care, financial barriers, and stigma can all prevent people from getting the help they need.

Hamilton County has reported higher-than-average rates of depression and anxiety. Workforce pressures, economic stress, and the lasting effects of the pandemic have all contributed.

Time Wellness Tennessee is part of the solution. We are actively committed to making mental health care accessible to the Chattanooga community by accepting a wide range of insurance plans and working with clients on their options.
