About Nashville Rescue Mission – Life Recovery Program

This rehab program is for women ages 18 and older and they have a men’s program in another location. The women’s program welcomes moms to bring their young children too so you don’t need to arrange for outside childcare while getting the treatment you need.

The treatment program here is varied and holistic. Christianity and spiritual counseling are the backbone of the program so you’ll have Bible studies throughout your program. But you’ll also have group therapy to identify and work through the root causes that are affecting your drug and alcohol addiction. It’s a holistic recovery program that addresses your spirituality as well as your physical and mental and social well being.

A big part of the program is also giving you the skills and tools you need to establish an independent and stable life in recovery. To do that, they’ll take you out of the circumstances and environments where you’re tempted to relapse. They can help with job readiness training as well as financial literacy. They can also help you learn how to build healthier relationships so you have a positive support system.

After your program you can apply for their transitional housing too to give you some time to get on your feet with a job and a home. It’s worth noting though that they don’t have medical detox here, so this program is a comprehensive treatment option for after you have completed detox prior to signing up.

Thank you for helping our homeless community! As many us that are fortunate enough to have homes know, many of these men and women have mental illness, were just a paycheck away from losing their home, unable to feed their kids and the list just goes on from there! I encourage any financial support, donations of any kind (canned food, clothing, furniture, books, ect ) God bless all the men and women involved in helping and all the men and women trying to get back on their feet! Amen!

Nashville Rescue Mission at 639 Lafayette St stands as a powerful example of compassion in action. From the moment you walk through the doors, it’s clear that this organization is deeply committed to serving individuals experiencing homelessness with dignity and respect. The staff and volunteers work tirelessly to provide not just meals and shelter, but also structured programs designed to help people rebuild their lives. What sets this location apart is the sense of organization and purpose behind everything they do. The facility operates with professionalism while still maintaining a warm, human-centered approach. Residents are offered access to recovery programs, education, job readiness support, and spiritual guidance for those who seek it. It’s not simply a temporary stop — it’s a place focused on long-term transformation. The Mission also plays an important role in the broader Nashville community, collaborating with local partners and relying on volunteers who clearly believe in the cause. Whether someone is seeking help or looking for a meaningful way to give back, this organization provides a structured and impactful environment. Overall, Nashville Rescue Mission demonstrates what community support truly looks like: practical assistance paired with genuine care. It’s an essential resource in Nashville and a place making a tangible difference every single day. There was an incident I witness where an african american male case manager had told a older guy in his 60s that his male partner had a sexually transmitted disease, and the older male informed his mate of such acknowledgment talk coming directly from staff. I feel first off that was very unprofessional and not only could it have been a dangerous outcome for the party being open with professional about their business when approached by boyfriend but at most it was a breach of confidentiality, That person deserves to be fired. I can't believe the guy chose not to report the staff. Hell Yeah, I would have for sure.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Clients receiving support in a rehab aftercare program typically have abstained from drugs or alcohol for a period of weeks or months and have completed high-level (often inpatient) treatment. Drug rehab aftercare is designed to support clients in maintaining their sobriety as they re-engage with their ordinary lives at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Services are highly individualized and evolve with clients' changing needs, but generally include peer coaching and relapse prevention.

To keep you safe and comfortable during the detoxification process, a medically assisted detox provides you with a team of medical professionals who can provide the necessary medications to treat any potential withdrawal symptoms. Suddenly stopping chronic abuse of substances like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When your day-to-day life is taken over by drug use, this is known as substance use disorder. If you abruptly stop using your drug of choice, you experience withdrawal symptoms. To overcome this cycle, professional drug rehab in Tennessee is usually needed.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Ive been in Nashville 20 years, from green hills to sleeping in my nice car for a period . I had a staff member there say. I would rather sleep in my car, than stay here . Ive been inside briefly , it was far worse than jail. Dirty , nobody wants to change, addicts, fighting, in jail , you HAVE to follow rules or go to the hole , fighting, not changing laundry , not showering will get you on the door by pod . The rescue mission is hell on earth.

They try, but sometimes people don't and expect the handout. I was there for a month, found a job and got the hell away from that, and so did my neighbor. Why get a job when you're fed, clothed and have a bedtime you may wonder? Because the don't care or try. It's that simple. Some of the people who work there are good souls, some are not.
