The Lazarus Project of Knoxville
The Lazarus Project of Knoxville provides structured recovery housing pathways that include Intensive Residential Recovery, Transitional Housing, and Graduate / Independent Living for individuals seeking accountability, treatment support, and a gradual path toward greater independence.
Program overview
The Lazarus Project of Knoxville offers a structured housing and recovery pathway designed to support individuals at different stages of readiness, accountability, and long-term stability.
Based on the application details provided and the service summary shared for this listing, the organization offers long-form residential recovery support, transitional housing for residents who still benefit from accountability measures, and independent living options for individuals who are ready for more autonomy while remaining connected to recommended services.
Intensive Residential Recovery
One-year residential programA one-year intensive residential recovery program providing structured substance abuse services through a social and clinical model of recovery. Services described include medical and behavioral health care coordination, employment linkage, psychosocial skills coaching, physical health and education, nutrition, budgeting, legal case management, spiritual identity formation, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy elements, life skills training, and other holistic interventions a resident may require to support success. Because the residential setting is not a come-and-go-at-will environment, the program may also satisfy structured treatment expectations associated with alternative sentencing, drug court, furlough, and other court-ordered contexts, depending on applicable requirements.
Transitional Housing
Six-month accountability-focused trackA six-month transitional housing program for individuals who are prepared for less structure but still require accountability through set curfews and random drug testing. This track helps residents continue building routine, responsibility, and recovery stability while moving beyond the most intensive level of support.
Graduate / Independent Living
Lower structure with continued expectationsIndependent living offers less structure than transitional housing and allows individuals to reside onsite without a curfew. Residents in this track are still required to submit to random drug testing and participate in recommended services as a condition of residency, supporting ongoing recovery while allowing more day-to-day independence.
