Substance Abuse In Alcoa & Blount County

Addiction problems in Alcoa and the rest of Blount County are on the rise. The increase in high potency drugs and easier access to drugs overall have lead to higher numbers of addiction-related deaths and treatment admissions, as these statistics show:

How To Find Addiction Treatment

Though Blount County and Alcoa offer addiction treatment, sometimes being able to focus solely on treatment and leaving the temptations of home is a better option. Being willing to travel away from Alcoa, or even out of Tennessee, to find addiction treatment can be more successful for many who need help.
