Behavioral Health Group (BHG) is a leading provider of outpatient addiction treatment services, collaborating with referral partners to support individuals in their recovery from opioid use. Grounded in evidence-based practices, BHG’s multidisciplinary team integrates medication-assisted treatment (MAT), counseling, and wraparound services— tailored to each patient’s unique goals and recovery pathway.
Operating 114 treatment centers across 22 states, BHG is the largest Joint Commission-accredited outpatient treatment network in the U.S. This reach allows the organization to implement consistent best practices across its locations, serving over 43,000 patients daily. Reported outcomes show that 92% of patients experience improved quality of life and mental health, 83% report decreased substance use, and 45% secure employment within their first year of treatment.
BHG is among the 4.2% of treatment providers nationally that offer all three FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder, paired with counseling and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) at select sites. Their whole-person approach aims to support treatment retention, reduce opioid use, minimize risk behaviors, and promote long-term recovery.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like BHG Knoxville Bernard Treatment Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
