Freedom Recovery Community is a very busy place this summer. We currently have 21 women and 22 children living on property full time and have 12 children who come for visitation. Most of the days are quiet as women are working and children are at day care or day camps. Their evenings are spent in […]

The first day of spring might have been March 20th, but that didn’t stop Mother Nature from unleashing some of the most interesting weather in Nashville this year. We had unbelievable amounts of rain, freezing temperatures, and to top it all – SNOW on April 16th! How does this relate to Addiction Treatment? The journey […]
Several months into working at The Next Door, I was having a conversation with my mother and she brought something to my attention that I was floored with gratitude to realize. She reminded me of the program she entered into over 10 years ago that had given her a safe place to transition into; an […]
Spring is such a beautiful season of renewal. You see it all around and in many forms – flowers starting to bloom, neighbors dusting off lawn mowers to give the yard its first cut of the season, and drive-through car washes with lines around the block.

God led me to The Next Door
“It’s been almost 5 years since I gave up on myself and God led me to the next door. How do you ever thank someone enough for not only saving your life but also showing you how to live a healthy God-driven life? There aren’t enough words of gratitude so I choose to live each and every day using the tools in my toolbox that help me on this journey called life! Y’all it’s amazing! It’s not perfect every day, but so much better than in my addiction, for I wear the scars that are visible to everyone and to me which constantly remind me how far I’ve come.”
I found the best thing that ever happened to me
“I was at a really low part of my life when I found the best thing that ever happened to me, The Next Door. I love everyone on staff, made some great friends and learned a lot about myself. Highly recommended! I will truly miss the staff, as well as all the friends I made.”
