Hello! My name is Candise, and I am The Next Door’s grant writer. I’m blessed to be the mother of two beautiful little girls. Both are under the age of three. Prayers for patience and sleep are appreciated! After both of my daughters were born, many people asked me if I was going to continue […]
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. With more daylight now, I see entire families on […]
I love SPRINGTIME! Every year when I spot the first little tiny crocus petals peeking up through the ground (or sometimes the snow!), quickly followed by the beautiful bright yellow daffodils sprinkled throughout my drive to and from work, I get so excited about Spring! I know that very soon I’ll also see the forsythia and […]
One of my favorite things about working at The Next Door is hearing about or observing numerous “light bulb” moments that take place in a given day. They come from many different people who make up TND’s community (clients, family members, guests, current supporters) and happen in various settings. Here are a few examples: At […]
The future. Some view it with excitement and anticipation. Others view it with fear and dread. I personally struggle with this! When a new year begins I compel myself to think on the positive things that could happen, versus all the negative. For me, this is crucial, but not easy. One reason for this fear […]
Depending on the day, if you look up “New Year’s resolution failure rate,” the number is as high as 80% by February 1st. Change is hard! It’s also uncomfortable, especially when staying with the status quo is so much easier. But then there are times we want change. We need change. And it can come […]
The Next Door’s Midtown neighborhood is one of the fastest growing areas in this amazing city. From my desk, I can see our awesome neighbor, Tri-Star Kimbro Oil, in front of our building at 22nd and Charlotte – though they’re probably better known as the Shell Station. They recently began renovations to build an incredible […]
Five women: A woman who sleeps with her father-in-law; another is a prostitute. One marries outside her faith and is considered an outcast; still another is a married woman who is raped, leading to a pregnancy and murder of her husband. And lastly… a young teenager who finds herself as an unwed mother. All these […]

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.”
