About UT Addiction Medicine

UT Addiction Medicine in Memphis, TN brings university-level specialty care to people working through opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, and substance use disorders. Operating out of University Clinical Health, the practice serves the Memphis and Midsouth region with focused outpatient addiction medicine during weekday clinic hours. For individuals building a long-term recovery plan, this center offers a medically grounded starting point.

UT Addiction Medicine is a specialty addiction medicine practice located at 1301 Primacy Pkwy in Memphis, Tennessee, operating under the University Clinical Health system. Serving the broader Midsouth region, it brings academic medical expertise directly into outpatient addiction care — a distinction that sets it apart from freestanding private clinics in the area. People pursuing structured, physician-led treatment for substance use disorders will find a clinical environment grounded in the resources of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

The practice focuses specifically on opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, and substance use disorders more broadly. Rather than functioning as a general behavioral health clinic, UT Addiction Medicine is dedicated to the intersection of internal medicine and addiction — meaning the clinical team is oriented around the medical dimensions of substance abuse treatment. Appointments are available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM, making it accessible for people who are managing work, family, or other recovery commitments during a structured outpatient program.

What distinguishes this practice within the Memphis recovery community is its university health system affiliation. Patients are not walking into an isolated clinic — they are entering a practice connected to a broader academic medical infrastructure. That context shapes how care is delivered, with a medical lens on addiction treatment that supports people in the earlier and ongoing stages of recovery from substance abuse.

UT Addiction Medicine serves people in Memphis and across the Midsouth who are dealing with opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, or other substance use disorders. For those seeking outpatient addiction treatment that is physician-led and university-affiliated, this practice represents a clinically serious option in the Memphis recovery landscape. Individuals ready to engage with a recovery center that approaches substance abuse through a dedicated addiction medicine framework can reach the clinic directly at (901) 866-8630.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment in Memphis from a University Health System

UT Addiction Medicine operates within the University Clinical Health network, bringing the clinical standards of an academic medical institution to outpatient substance abuse treatment in Memphis. For people in the Midsouth who want physician-led care rather than a purely counseling-based program, this practice fills a meaningful role in the local recovery landscape.

The clinic is located at 1301 Primacy Pkwy, Memphis, TN 38119, and is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM. That schedule is designed to work alongside the realities of life in recovery — not to require someone to step away from employment or family to access care. Anyone ready to explore addiction treatment options can call (901) 866-8630 to start the conversation.

Conditions Treated: Opioid Addiction, Alcohol Addiction, and Substance Use Disorders

The practice is explicitly focused on opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, and the wider spectrum of substance use disorders. That specificity matters — UT Addiction Medicine is not a generalist clinic that adds addiction services as a secondary offering. Addiction medicine is the core of what this practice does, which means patients are seen by providers whose primary clinical focus is substance abuse treatment.

For individuals in the Midsouth navigating the early stages of recovery or looking for ongoing outpatient support, that specialization can make a real difference. The medical orientation of the practice positions it as a strong anchor in a broader recovery plan, whether someone is stepping down from a higher level of care or beginning their recovery journey as an outpatient.

Serving Memphis and the Midsouth Recovery Community

UT Addiction Medicine draws patients from across the Memphis metro and the broader Midsouth region. For communities outside the immediate city core that have historically had limited access to specialty addiction medicine, the University Clinical Health affiliation provides a recognized and medically credible option within reasonable reach.

Recovery is rarely a single-provider process, and UT Addiction Medicine's position within a larger academic health system means patients may have access to connected medical resources as their recovery evolves. People seeking substance abuse treatment or outpatient addiction care in the Midsouth can visit the clinic online at universityclinicalhealth.com/ut-addiction-medicine or call (901) 866-8630 to learn more.
