2 Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers in Tupelo, Mississippi

The seventh-largest city in the state, Tupelo is the county seat of Lee County in Northeast Mississippi. It is accessible via a short drive down from the Memphis International Airport and is also reachable via its own tiny airport, the Tupelo Regional Airport. Tupelo intersected by the Natchez Trace Parkway, a 444 mile scenic parkway that winds through some of Mississippi's most beautiful country. With excellent road and air access, a bona fide Main Street and a rich musical heritage, Tupelo offers a quiet small-town setting in which your or your loved one can undergo addiction treatment.

Drug and alcohol addiction have left their marks on Mississippi just as they have on other states across the country. Mississippi has the 30th highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States, with a majority of drug deaths coming from the abuse of prescription drugs. In fact, prescription drug abuse has quickly become a regional public health crisis, and those who suffer from addiction to these and other substances need access to quality care, in outpatient and inpatient settings, in order to be able to detox and make a full recovery.

For those embarking on the road to rehabilitation, Tupelo is home to drug rehabilitation centers offering inpatient and outpatient care on a variety of timelines.

The Behavioral Health Center of the North Mississippi Medical Center, located on South Eason Boulevard, provides outpatient counseling treatment. In addition to substance abuse addiction treatment, the center offers dual diagnosis treatment for those cases in which rehabilitation is complicated by the presence of additional mental health disorders. The center offers American Sign Language translation and other services for those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and accepts self-pay, Medicare and insurance plans from most major companies.

Another Tupelo option for those who require care is the Region III Chemical Dependency Service, located on Boone Street. The Dependency Service offers general substance abuse treatment and dual diagnosis treatment as well as specialized care for those addicted to buprenorphine and suboxone. American Sign Language translation is available if you or your loved one is deaf or hard of hearing, and self-payment, Medicare, military insurance (e.g., TRICARE) and policies from most major insurance companies are accepted. In addition, the Region III Chemical Dependency Service offers an income-based sliding fee scale if you or your loved one is struggling financially.

In addition to outpatient counseling, the Region III Chemical Dependency Service offers both short-term and long-term inpatient care. If you or your loved one is in need of it, stays of 30, 60, 90 or 120 days are available. Specialized programs include holistic and alternative rehabilitation treatment as well as aftercare addiction treatment to ensure that you or your loved one has a viable pathway back into sober living. The center also offers court-ordered alcohol treatment for those who have been convicted of alcohol-related vehicular offenses.
