About us
Peninsula Outpatient Center, part of the Covenant Health network, is located in Knoxville, Tennessee, and specializes in providing comprehensive intensive outpatient programs for individuals struggling with alcohol and drug issues. The center offers tailored tracks, including a specific program for women, and accepts selected Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans, ensuring accessibility to a broader range of clients.
Enrolling in the outpatient program at Peninsula Outpatient Center involves participating in sessions that are three to four hours long, held four to five weekdays per week. These sessions combine group therapy and educational classes, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their mental health history. Addressing underlying conditions such as depression, anxiety, and family troubles is a crucial component of the program. Clients receive support from peers and counselors, facilitating the sharing of experiences and learning from others, which is integral to the recovery process.
In addition to the general outpatient program, Peninsula Outpatient Center offers specialized programs for seniors and teens. While these specific programs are available for inpatient care, admissions are handled through the Peninsula Hospital. Clients with acute issues may also be referred to the inpatient center in Blount County to ensure they receive the appropriate level of care.
Peninsula Outpatient Center is dedicated to providing personalized, effective treatment plans that address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. The centerโs holistic approach to recovery emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of substance abuse and equipping clients with the tools and skills necessary for long-term sobriety.
The Peninsula Outpatient Center operates under the high standards set by the Covenant Health network, ensuring that all clients receive top-quality care in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. With a focus on patient-centered care, the center strives to help individuals reclaim their lives and achieve lasting recovery.

We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. Thatโs why weโve developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centersโfrom accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. Youโll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.
