Top Drug and Alcohol Addiction Treatment Centers In Parrottsville

Addiction and Mental Health Treatment Near Parrottsville, Tennessee

Parrottsville sits in the rolling farmland of northeastern Cocke County, about seven miles northeast of Newport on U.S. Route 321. It is one of the smallest incorporated towns in Tennessee, with roughly 217 residents at the 2020 census, and it has no addiction treatment facilities of its own. Anyone in Parrottsville looking for a rehabilitation program, detox bed, or outpatient counseling office will drive into Newport, Morristown, or Knoxville to find one. We at TreatmentTennessee.com built this page to help people in Parrottsville and the surrounding Oven Creek, Del Rio, and Bridgeport communities understand what treatment access actually looks like from a small East Tennessee town, using county-level data rather than vague generalities.

This is not a facility listing. It is a local reference guide meant to sit alongside the provider listings above it on this page, so readers can weigh distance, cost, and program type before they pick up the phone.

Overdose Data and Substance Use Trends in Cocke County

Parrottsville is too small to have its own overdose or treatment-admission statistics; state and county health agencies report figures at the county level, and Parrottsville is included in the Cocke County totals below. According to County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, using 2025 data, Cocke County’s drug overdose death rate is 64.8 per 100,000 residents, close to double the statewide age-adjusted rate. Tennessee as a whole recorded 2,499 overdose deaths in 2024, a rate of 34.6 per 100,000 people, the fifth-highest annual rate the state has logged since the CDC began tracking this data in 1999.

The Tennessee Department of Health’s 2025 County Data Package for Cocke County lists accidents, which include fatal drug overdoses, among the top three causes of death locally, alongside heart disease and cancer. The county’s suicide mortality rate, a related indicator the state tracks in the same behavioral health data set, runs at roughly 25.8 per 100,000, also above the statewide figure. East Tennessee as a region carries the highest overdose death rate of the state’s three grand divisions, more than 40 percent higher than Middle or West Tennessee, driven largely by illicit fentanyl mixed into the drug supply.

Treatment Demand, Insurance, and Cost in a Rural County

Cocke County’s population sits near 37,900 people spread across 443 square miles, which means treatment demand is real but thin relative to the land area it covers. Most residents who need residential or intensive outpatient care travel to Newport, Sevier County, or Knox County, since Parrottsville and the smaller communities around it (Oven Creek, Del Rio, Bybee) have no standalone treatment centers. This is a common pattern across rural East Tennessee: county seats absorb regional demand, and outlying towns rely on that infrastructure.

What Seeking Treatment From Parrottsville Actually Involves

Getting There: Roads and Local Landmarks

US-321, a four-lane highway, runs south of Parrottsville and is the direct route to Newport, the Cocke County seat, roughly a ten-minute drive away. Heading northeast on the same road leads about 19 miles to Greeneville in neighboring Greene County, another option for outpatient services. Interstate 40 crosses Cocke County a few miles south of Newport, connecting the area to Knoxville (about an hour west) and to Asheville, North Carolina, to the east. Parrottsville itself is served by Parrottsville Elementary School, Oven Creek Methodist Church, and a scattering of family farms along the Nolichucky River bottomland; there is no hospital or urgent care facility within town limits, so Newport Medical Center is the closest option for emergency medical needs, including overdose reversal.

Our TreatmentTennessee.com directory lists providers by county and city precisely because rural East Tennessee residents often need to look beyond their own zip code. Below are a few nearby location pages worth checking for facilities within a reasonable drive of Parrottsville.

Before You Choose a Provider

Given how few options sit within Parrottsville itself, comparing more than one facility in Newport, Morristown, or Knoxville is worth the extra phone call. Confirm state licensure and any relevant accreditation, such as Joint Commission or CARF, directly with the facility or through the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Ask specifically whether TennCare, Medicare, or your commercial plan is accepted before scheduling an intake appointment, and get any cost estimate in writing. Our TreatmentTennessee.com listings above this article include contact information for providers serving Cocke County and the surrounding region; using them to compare two or three options before committing to one is a reasonable, low-cost step.

If a life-threatening overdose is happening now, call 911. The national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988) is also available around the clock for anyone in Parrottsville or elsewhere in Cocke County experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis.
