Emergency Support

When someone reaches a breaking point, waiting for help isn’t an option. The Ranch Tennessee offers 24/7 crisis support so clients and families can speak with a trained admissions team member at any hour. Whether the situation involves sudden destabilization, withdrawal concerns, or a moment when someone finally decides they’re ready for change, our team is prepared to guide you toward the safest next step.

The Ranch provides a calm, rural setting designed to help people settle after periods of strain or instability. Our emergency support process is focused on safety, clarity, and helping families navigate a moment that often feels chaotic or unfamiliar.

When to reach out for immediate help

People contact our emergency line for many reasons, including:

  • Rapid changes in behavior or mood
  • Concerns about safety or physical stability
  • Escalating substance use or withdrawal symptoms
  • A loved one expressing readiness for treatment
  • Situations where outpatient care is no longer sufficient

Our team listens carefully, gathers essential information, and outlines what admission may look like.

Emergency admission at The Ranch

When a crisis indicates the need for immediate admission, our team can expedite placement. Emergency admissions include:

  • A quick but thorough assessment
  • Guidance for safe transportation
  • Coordination with family members
  • Clear expectations for the first hours on campus

Clients arrive at The Ranch, meet staff, settle into a quiet space, and begin stabilizing through structured support.

Crisis intervention and next steps

After the immediate situation is addressed, our clinicians recommend the appropriate level of care: detox, residential treatment, or another program within our continuum. The goal is to move from crisis to consistency, supported by a team trained in both medical and behavioral stabilization.

Brian Fuller, MD

Medical Director

Dr. Fuller is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He completed medical school at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center and residency at Vanderbilt University. Additionally, he has completed the Nashville Advance Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Program, a two-year intensive program to better integrate traditional psychotherapy into his psychiatric practice. Dr. Fuller began his post-residency career in psychiatry running a psychotherapy-oriented private practice. Looking to help more people than he could working alone yet still provide treatment that emphasizes the importance and value of talk therapy, he joined The Ranch in 2017.

Dr. Fuller is passionate about helping people who have survived trauma and/or are struggling with addiction and strongly believes that the life we all deserve is within reach, no matter the adversity that one must overcome. He views medications as tools rather than solutions and his prescribing philosophy is to use the lowest dose necessary of non-addictive medications to help aid the process of recovery.
