CHATTANOOGA
WHO WE ARE:
The Next Door Chattanooga prepares women for independent living free from drug and alcohol abuse.
The Next Door Chattanooga offers a unique program in partnership with the Tennessee Department of Correction. Women served by The Next Door at the Chattanooga location are currently incarcerated, and receive transitional services rooted in evidence-based practices to address the needs of the women.
Prior to release from incarceration, women are transported from prison to The Next Door Chattanooga’s Correctional Release Center. While at the Correctional Release Center, women work toward gaining job and life skills that will assist in a productive re-entry into society. This Correctional Release Center is the first of its kind for the State of Tennessee and Department of Correction, and is designed to equip these women for independent living, free from drug and alcohol abuse.
