Our mission

The mission of Overmountain Recovery is to provide the highest quality of care to those experiencing opioid use disorder, with or without co-occurring disorders, in an environment that preserves and promotes the dignity of the persons served without regard to race, color, creed, gender, economic or social circumstance, sexual orientation, or national origin.

Accreditation

Overmountain regularly measures and reports on the performance of our program. We track both efficiency and effectiveness measures.

Because of this dedication to quality, we’ve earned a three-year accreditation from CARF (the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities).

CARF three-year accreditation is the highest accreditation level awarded to organizations like Overmountain.

The CARF accreditation process

To receive three-year accreditation from CARF, organizations are put through a rigorous process that includes, among other requirements, live on-site surveys.

These requirements ensure our programs meet CARF’s high standards of quality and accountability.

A joint partnership

Overmountain Recovery is a joint project of Ballad Health and East Tennessee State University.

Through this partnership, Overmountain Recovery is able to provide an array of services that include counseling, medication-assisted therapy, education, outreach, prevention and research to help change our region’s alarming statistics on prescription drug abuse.

ETSU Addiction Science Center

East Tennessee State University’s Addiction Science Center works closely with Overmountain Recovery.

The center is a key resource in the opioid epidemic ravaging our region and the nation.

Initiated as a product of the interprofessional Prescription Drug Abuse and Misuse Working Group, the Center is a network of researchers, health care providers, community members and students. The working group meets monthly and currently has more than 350 members.
