OAK RIDGE, TN. (WLAF)- Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services is proud to announce the launch of ROADs to Recovery (aka ROADs), a comprehensive substance use and opioid use disorder treatment initiative designed to expand access to evidence-based care and recovery services across the region.
Through Tennessee’s Opioid Abatement Council (OAC) Cycle 2 funding, ROADs offers a full continuum of care, beginning with inpatient stabilization, assessment, and detox services, followed by multiple treatment and recovery pathways. These include residential treatment, community-based services, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for clinically indicated ROADs clients.
“ROADs reflects Ridgeview’s long-standing commitment to meeting people where they are and walking alongside them toward lasting recovery,” said Courtney Cook, ROADs Manager. “By offering a coordinated continuum of care, we are strengthening recovery pathways and addressing a critical need in the communities we serve.”
The ROADs Team is comprised of highly trained professionals specializing in substance use care and treatment, delivering compassionate, person-centered services grounded in best practices. The program will accept most insurance plans and serve uninsured individuals, ensuring that care remains accessible to those who need it most.
Substance use and opioid use disorders continue to impact individuals, families, and communities across East Tennessee. By expanding detox, treatment, and recovery services under one integrated program, Ridgeview aims to reduce barriers to care, improve outcomes, and support long-term recovery.

This project is funded under a Grant Contract with the Tennessee Opioid Abatement Council.
