...a new Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) has been approved in South Knoxville.
I like that, "across the Henley Street Bridge". The proposed site is nearly 2 miles from the bridge.
Also, the proposed site is in the only decent shopping center in South Knoxville. It includes the only decent grocery store in South Knoxville.
"...the location for the OTP was chosen after consulting with community leaders and those who currently work to help people struggling with addiction. They discovered that there was a significant need in South Knoxville across the bridge,..."
Again with the, "across the bridge." What's that about?
If you look at all the other 6 treatment locations of this company, none are in a popular shopping center with a major grocery store.

Is there one in West
Is there one in West Knoxville or Farragut?
No, but there is one on John
(in reply to jbr)
No, but there is one on John Sevier Hwy that used to be a pain clinic. In 2019 it got raided by the FBI and TBI.
The company’s website.
Are we talking about the same
(in reply to bizgrrl)
Are we talking about the same owners/management or simply the same location. Important distinction.
No question there is absolutely a need for such a service. If it's legit I welcome them. Seems your gripe is about the location. I assume it is around the corner from the main center, next to the laundromat and closest to the bus stop.
I may feel differently in 6 months since I use that shopping center, but my first reaction is not NIMBY.
This will be the 7th
(in reply to Up Goose Creek)
This will be the 7th treatment location for this one company.
It is the location that does not seem great. As I mentioned, none of the other locations are in busy shopping centers.
Yes, there is a need to help people to stop using opiods.
