For Middle Tennessee Treatment Centers
Contract-Based Clinical Support for Addiction Recovery Programs in Tennessee.
Partnering With Your Treatment Center
Journey to the Way Counseling Services partners with addiction treatment centers to provide experienced, contract-based clinical support.
Services are designed to strengthen group programming, family involvement, and clinical consistency without adding long-term staffing pressure.
This model works well for PHPs, IOPs, residential programs, and facilities navigating staffing gaps, growth, or clinician turnover.
Why Facilities Use This Model
Programs often engage Journey to the Way Counseling Services to:
- Fill short-term staffing gaps while hiring
- Strengthen weak or inconsistent family programming
- Support overextended clinical teams
- Provide mentorship and guidance for early-career therapists
- Improve group quality and clinical consistency
This is supplemental support, not a replacement for your core staff.

What Clients & Families Have to Say
”The family program in particular made a world of difference. Charlie, the gentleman who ran the family sessions, is one of the most kind and knowledgeable people we met on our journey and I encourage everyone seeking treatment or anyone with a loved one in this treatment center to highly consider the family program!
Chelsea
”My husband and I participated in the family program and I would highly recommend participating in it. We learned so much about boundaries, codependency, attachment styles, communication and even more. The facilitator, Charlie, is super knowledgeable in addiction recovery and the program was extremely beneficial!
Janet
”My wife and I participated in family and client zoom sessions on consecutive days. Very informative, Charles did a great job leading the discussions.
Ricky
”The family counseling was also amazing, they definitely take you out of your comfort zone and reach your inner self. They don't just tell you what you want to hear, it definitely is about honesty and giving you the right tools to be able to help a loved one and yourself to have boundaries and to move forward. My son has moved on to the step-down program and is doing absolutely wonderful!!! Charlie, I want to thank you so much for the family program!!! You opened my eyes to a lot of things!!! I have learned and now instill boundaries and I watch my son's steps instead of words. This for me was very powerful and I can't thank you enough!!!!
Susan
”Weekend group, spirituality with Charlie, was one of two highlights of my week, a long with experiential therapy with X. These two gentlemen really know how to open up and become vulnerable with their clients because they've been where we are.
Nicole
”My wife chose not to do the family program the first time and she didn't do so well with things at home. This time she chose the family program, myself, her 3 children and her mother were able to join in via Zoom. Charlie was very, very informative with explaining how the addiction people try to deal with is such a tremendous struggle. Thank you for being there. Thank you for your time and not making anyone feel uncomfortable. We're fortunate to have a facility like this, for people to go to.

”As I family member going through the Virtual Family Program, I can say it was so informative and helpful with resources and guidelines to help our loved ones continue in their recovery process. I can't say enough about Charlie Clemence who hosted and facilitated the 2 day program. He brought so much knowledge and support to both the parents and their loved ones in the program. My son had nothing but great things to say about the treatment he received while an in-patient.
