What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Lloyd C Elam Mental Health Center

Lloyd C Elam Mental Health Center is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Nashville, Tennessee. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 3 primary care modalities (residential, outpatient, detox), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 1820 Albion Street, Nashville, TN 37208.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 13 distinct service lines (12-step facilitation, Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Detoxification, Intensive outpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Residential, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 10 clinical treatment approaches (12-step facilitation, Anger management, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Community reinforcement plus vouchers, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Matrix Model, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Trauma-related counseling).

Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation. Payment-wise, the record confirms payment assistance, plus 2 specific payment methods enumerated in the survey (Federal, or any government funding for substance use treatment programs, SAMHSA funding/block grants).

This record is one of the more thoroughly documented substance use treatment listings in Tennessee: it reports 44 distinct service, population, payment, and language attributes, placing it in the top 10% of 412 facilities statewide (state median: 32).
