Drug and Alcohol Rehabs in La Follette, TN
La Follette sits in Campbell County in the Powell Valley of north-east Tennessee, between the Cumberland Mountains and Norris Lake.
The town was founded in 1897 by the La Follette brothers of Ohio, who built a coal and iron works here and named it after themselves.
Cumberland Gap, where Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee meet, is around 40 minutes north-east, and the Cumberland Trail crosses the ridges above the town. Coal employment across Campbell County declined sharply through the late twentieth century.
Interstate 75 runs a few minutes west, putting Knoxville around 40 minutes south. US-25W runs north toward Jellico and the Kentucky line. Campbell County is among the lower-income counties in the state.
Statewide in 2024, fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were involved in around 67 percent of Tennessee overdose deaths, and the state rate ran roughly 52 percent above the national figure.
County rates across Tennessee ranged in 2024 from 7.4 per 100,000 in Williamson County to 76.0 in Union County.
The Cumberland Mountain counties were hit early and hard by the prescription opioid crisis and have had few services to respond with.
Alcohol remains the most common reason people enter treatment locally, and methamphetamine is widespread across these counties.
Which Level of Care Do You Need
The counts below reflect the 2 La Follette facilities listed in this directory, one of which offers hospital inpatient care.
Medically Supervised Detox
Detox manages withdrawal under clinical observation, usually across several days, and is where treatment begins for anyone physically dependent on alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines. Neither La Follette facility currently offers detox, though one offers hospital inpatient care. Knoxville has one within around 40 minutes south and Oak Ridge one a similar distance south-west.
Inpatient Residential Treatment
Residential care provides a structured live-in setting for weeks or months. Neither La Follette facility currently offers it. Knoxville has four within 40 minutes south and Oneida one about an hour north-west.
Outpatient, IOP and PHP Treatment
Outpatient care lets you live at home while attending sessions. Around 1 La Follette facility offers outpatient services. Neither IOP nor PHP is available locally. One offers telehealth and one offers medication-assisted treatment. For a structured step-down, Knoxville has seven IOP providers 40 minutes south.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
Dual diagnosis care treats a substance use disorder and a mental health condition together rather than in sequence. Both La Follette facilities indicate they treat co-occurring disorders, which is universal local coverage and a genuine strength given the region.
Sober Living Homes and Transitional Living
Sober living homes provide drug-free housing after formal treatment ends. This directory does not list recovery residences separately, and provision across the Cumberland Mountain counties is effectively absent. The Tennessee Alliance for Recovery Residences covers the wider region.
Addiction Treatment Cost and Insurance Coverage
Both facilities accept TennCare, Medicare and TRICARE alike, which matters in a lower-income county.
How Much Does Addiction Rehab Cost in La Follette
Outpatient care in La Follette runs roughly $1,200 to $4,500 a month and is effectively the only level available locally. Detox, residential, IOP and PHP all mean traveling south, at $7,000 to $22,000, $5,000 to $22,000, $2,500 to $9,000 and $7,500 to $13,000 monthly. Both La Follette facilities accept TennCare, Medicare and TRICARE.
Universal acceptance across all three public programs means cost rarely limits what is available locally. Range of care is the constraint, and it is worth establishing where you would go for detox before you need it.
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox (inpatient) | $7,000 – $22,000 | $230 – $730 |
| Residential inpatient | $5,000 – $22,000 | $170 – $730 |
| PHP | $7,500 – $13,000 | $250 – $430 |
| IOP | $2,500 – $9,000 | $85 – $300 |
| Outpatient | $1,200 – $4,500 | $40 – $150 |
| Level of care | Monthly | Daily |
|---|---|---|
| Residential inpatient | $27,000 – $90,000+ | $900 – $3,000+ |
| PHP | $13,500 – $33,000 | $450 – $1,100 |
| IOP | $9,000 – $24,000 | $300 – $800 |
| Outpatient | $4,500 – $13,500 | $150 – $450 |
Does Insurance Cover Rehab in La Follette
Yes. Federal parity law requires most health plans to cover substance use treatment on terms comparable to medical care. Both La Follette facilities accept TennCare, BlueCare Tennessee, Medicare and TRICARE. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare are also accepted locally.
Because Kentucky is around 40 minutes north, some residents hold out-of-state plans. Check network status before admission, since coverage that works across the line may not apply in Tennessee.

Publicly funded care is the standard route here, with both listed facilities accepting TennCare.
An eligibility check costs nothing and behavioral health benefits are included on every plan.
The Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services funds treatment for uninsured residents through contracted agencies across East Tennessee.
