Understanding Residential Care
What Is Inpatient Mental Health Treatment?
Inpatient treatment—also called residential care—is when you stay on-site at our facility while being treated with daily therapy, customized care, and around-the-clock supervision. It's more extensive than outpatient therapy and for those in need of extra assistance during a time of mental health crisis, after a hospitalization, or when outpatient treatment is not enough.
Our purpose is simple: to give you the room, time, and tools you need to heal—and to do so in a setting that's closer to a retreat than a hospital.
Our Knoxville inpatient program is appropriate for adults who:
- Are struggling with severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, or symptoms of bipolar
- Need a safe place to recover after a mental health emergency
- Haven't experienced lasting relief from outpatient therapy alone
- Require a break from stressors at home, work, or in relationships
- Are ready to commit full attention to mental health and recovery
You'll be supported by a group of professionals who are always around—day and night. If you're having a bad time or just want someone to talk to, you'll never feel alone.
Our team provides continuous monitoring and support, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout your stay.

What You Can Expect at Our Knoxville Facility
We've created a peaceful, home-like environment that respects both structure and calm. Our facility at 6020 Weems Rd is warm, welcoming, and nothing like a cold hospital room. You'll have access to shared and private spaces that are designed to feel calming and restorative.
Personalized Care Plans
We come to understand you as an individual person—your history, your challenges, and your aspirations. From there, we develop a plan of treatment that's constructed based on your distinct needs and healing pace.
Each day includes a mix of evidence-based therapy, group work, and activities like mindfulness, expressive arts, and self-care practices. You'll learn new coping tools, gain insight into your patterns, and begin to rebuild your confidence.
Our Approach
Why Sanctuary Mental Health?
We do things differently here. Our approach combines evidence-based treatments with compassionate care in a supportive environment.
Everything we do is centered around safety, compassion, and respect. Even if you've been traumatized—or even if you haven't—we take the extra step to offer an environment in which you can feel empowered rather than condemned.
Our new North Knoxville inpatient center is handy but out of sight in a quiet, residential area. Whether you're from the area or visiting for treatment, you'll feel the difference from your first arrival.
Because we keep our programs small, we can give you truly personalized care. You won't get lost in the process—you'll be listened to, comprehended, and supported step by step.

Common Questions About Inpatient Care
Length of stay varies for each person. Some will be here a few weeks for stabilization, and some will be here to work on more underlying issues. We will work this out with you to decide what will be best in your situation.
We welcome many of the major insurance providers and can help you determine your coverage. Just give us a call, and we'll walk you through it.
