Compass Academy Offers Assistance Throughout the Treatment Process
At Compass Intervention Center, we recognize the significance of allowing adolescents to stay on track with their education while undergoing treatment for mental health or substance use concerns. Compass Academy is a specialized program designated to assist students in managing their schoolwork and prepare them for a smooth transition back to their regular school environment.
Services
Compass offers a full continuum of care for psychiatric treatment of adolescents with psychiatric and emotional concerns such as:

- Behavioral problems
- Substance use disorder
- Trauma
- Mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder
- Psychosis
Compass offers a full continuum of care for the psychiatric treatment of adolescents, offering every level of care to adolescents in the State of Tennessee.
Our outpatient programs are designed to treat psychiatric and substance abuse issues in a less intensive setting than our inpatient programs.
We utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities to individualize care for children and teens with specific treatment needs.
Residential programs at Compass Intervention Center are designed to address general psychiatric, substance abuse and dual diagnosis. Compass Intervention Center is a medical model program with 24-hour nursing in a stable, therapeutic and hardware-secure environment.
Our residential programs are designed for people who have failed at lower levels of care, struggle to maintain progress toward treatment goals in an outpatient setting or suffer from a severe mental health disorder that significantly interferes with daily functioning.

ADMISSIONS
Our confidential assessment process helps youth access the appropriate level of care.

Testimonials
“When we first came to Compass, my daughter was out of control; she wouldn’t do anything we asked her to do. She was verbally and physically combative, and she was severely depressed. She had also lost or angered all of her friends. But, after two months, she is now the child we knew was hiding behind all the anger and shame.
My daughter is still a typical pre-teen… but, she’s happy and proud of her own progress. Compass helped us save our family. They also taught mom and dad a few lessons about boundaries and consistent parenting.”
Mother of Former Patient
“My son has made dramatic changes since attending the Compass inpatient and partial programs. The partial program has helped with the transition back into his school. I truly appreciate each and every one of the members of the Compass staff.”Mother of Former Patient
“Our daughter was spiraling out of control. She was turning to drugs and self-harming behaviors and we didn’t understand why. The treatment program has helped us identify not only what was happening with our daughter, but also helped us better understand how to help her and the rest of our family move forward. This program kept our family together. My daughter was helped but our therapist also worked intensively with my husband and I as well as our other children to help us repair our family unit. Compass has given us a chance to put our lives back together.”Mother of Former Patient
“When we first came to Compass, my daughter was out of control. She wouldn’t do anything we asked her to do. She was verbally and physically combative and she was severely depressed. She had also lost or angered all of her friends. But after 2+ months, she is now the child we knew was hiding behind all the anger and shame. She is still a typical pre-teen, but she’s happy and pretty proud of her own progress as well. Compass helped us save our family. They also taught mom and dad a few lessons about boundaries and consistent parenting.”Mother of Former Patient
“Upon arrival I wasn’t sure if anything or anyone could help my daughter at her age of 16 years. I beg the difference as of four weeks ago.
God knows I’m so happy with the new person she is today. When I tell you I brought a very angry, disturbed, violent teenager with mixed emotions I was for sure nothing would help. I was stressed out!
Compass has taught and helped my teenager do an about face, a complete 360 turn around. No pills or medication did it. It was pure intensive treatment with teaching her how to, when to, what to, where to do everything when the time would cause her to lash out. Her attitude, tone of voice, aggressive behavior, her destruction to property all have changed. I’m blessed and would recommend counseling at Compass to schools, court systems, Department of Children and Family Services to contact Compass. What my daughter has learned in four weeks it took me three years to find. I’m grateful my facebook page will be sent all over the world to seek help with your children now. ‘Stop the violence’, no parents or teachers should have to go through what I have for three years. There is help, call Compass now!
Thank you to all who help change the way my daughter filters her anger and behavior.P.S. If I wasn’t picking her up and bringing her daily I wouldn’t believe this. I saw and witness the drastically change in four days. I love Compass. I have you on speed dial. I’ve gotten calls for help in other states about my daughter’s progress and others in need of help in Illinois and Michigan. Mississippi needs you as well. Thank you thank you!!!”
