BHG’s Patient- Centered Treatment program uses a two-pronged approach to address the medical and behavioral aspects of opioid addiction. This Medication Assisted Treatment(MAT)uses drugs such as Methadone to address a patient’s physical dependence on Opioids, and team based Behavioral Counseling to address a patient’s psychological dependence.

Our mission is to build the best-in-class network of opioid treatment facilities by producing superior patient outcomes. We will accomplish this goal by providing each person who enters our program with a medically based treatment experience, in accordance with our governing bodies, which rehabilitates those aspects of the person which are suffering: builds upon the strengths of that person; protects that person’s rights to privacy, respect, and dignity; and assists in the development of a better quality of life. In doing so, we will improve the lives and communities of those we touch and serve.

The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN) is the statewide public-private organization responsible for implementing the Tennessee Strategy for Suicide Prevention as defined by the 2001 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.

TSPN is a grass-roots association which includes counselors, mental health professionals, physicians, clergy, journalists, social workers, and law enforcement personnel, as well as survivors of suicide and suicide attempts. TSPN works across the state to eliminate the stigma of suicide and educate communities about the warning signs of suicide, with the ultimate intention of reducing suicide rates in the state of Tennessee.

We seek to achieve these objectives through organizing and promoting regular regional activities, providing suicide prevention and crisis intervention training to community organizations, and conducting postvention sessions for schools and organizations after suicides occur.

Suicide affects people of all ages, races, and socioeconomic groups. Hence we encourage and celebrate the engagement of people from all walks of life in our suicide prevention campaign, sharing their stories, making a difference in their communities, and helping to save lives.

Memphis based artist Ronnie Bobal, otherwise known by his graffiti tag as Betor, was tragically lost to a drug overdose on Christmas Day, 2016. Over the course of several years, his friends and family watched him struggle with his addiction and try to find effective treatment methods. His loving friends and family worked ceaselessly to help him navigate addiction services, and we learned exactly how difficult a task this is. We have joined together to form A Betor Way to share information and make addicts and their support systems aware of the programs and initiatives available, with the hope that we will prevent others from enduring the loss of a loved one to drug overdose. We will help find A ‘Betor’ Way to fight addiction.

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is a federal program that provides HIV-related health services for those who do not have sufficient health care coverage or financial resources to cope with HIV. The Ryan White and Ending the HIV Epidemic Programs work with medical and supportive services providers to offer support to more than 4,500 people impacted by HIV each year.

Our program is a gender-specific, long-term residential substance abuse treatment program for adult women. It addresses alcohol and illicit drug use, co-occurring mental health conditions, trauma, family issues, and other barriers to healthy living. Each woman is treated individually and holistically using an integrated care model involving many community partners. Our goal is to help each woman move toward an acceptable level of spiritual, physical, emotional, social, and occupational functioning. We offer knowledge, support, and tools needed to begin the lifelong process of recovery. Our safe, ‘home-like’ service environment offers women the opportunity to participate in the day-to-day functioning of a home and learn self-care. We provide 24-hour service, seven days a week, by Qualified Substance Abuse Treatment Personnel and trained support staff. We emphasize engagement in the 12 Step recovering community.
