Mending Hearts Nashville

Mending Hearts Nashville opened in 2004 as a residential program for women who have substance use disorders and are at risk of losing their housing. The center runs as a therapeutic community where daily structure and peer support are part of the treatment itself. Financial circumstances do not decide who gets in: the organization states that it serves women regardless of their ability to pay.

Care starts on the medical side with detox and medication-assisted treatment for women in withdrawal. The staff screens for mental health needs alongside substance use as well, so trauma, perinatal mental health concerns, and substance use get addressed together instead of in separate silos. Counseling comes in several formats: individual sessions, groups, family therapy, life skills work, and Twelve Step facilitation. Once residential care ends, women may move into community living, independent living, day treatment, or an intensive outpatient program, with continuing care, employment counseling, housing services, and relapse prevention planning along the way.

Programs at Mending Hearts Nashville

Mending Hearts Nashville offers a complete range of Tennessee rehab programs for women, spanning detox through outpatient care. While women are in residence, those who need help with withdrawal get medical detox and medication-assisted treatment, and each client is screened for mental health needs as well as substance use, so both are addressed together. Counseling options include individual, family, and group therapy, life skills training, trauma-specific relapse prevention counseling therapy as well as twelve step facilitation. The approach is described as evidence-based, gender-specific, medical, personalized, trauma-informed, and Twelve Step oriented.

After the residential phase, women can step down to community living, independent living, day treatment (PHP), or intensive outpatient programs (IOP). These aftercare options at this Nashville center include employment counseling, housing services, and relapse prevention planning. Support meetings and continuing care help women maintain stability as they take on more independence. If a woman needs a lower level of care but still requires regular clinical contact, then the IOP or PHP track can bridge the gap between residential treatment and everyday life.
