HEARTS
How Our Program Benefits Middle Tennessee Mending Hearts has a strict policy for residents regarding women taking personal responsibility for the condition of their own lives and the path of destruction that addiction has on them. We do not tolerate the use of any illegal substance or alcohol by our residents while they are in our care. We require a life of sobriety and disciplined recovery. A requisite for program completion is that each woman, in addition to remaining substance free, must acquire stable housing and gainful employment, as well as begin to restore familial and personal relationships where appropriate with people that were isolated or hurt as a result of addiction. Mending Hearts is providing a much needed service in Middle Tennessee by creating a safe environment for women to recover while providing supportive services to ensure long term success.
Mending Hearts is successful because we have developed a program that is founded on the principals of proven 12-Step recovery programs while taking into account that each woman is unique and will have unique needs and circumstances to address. Add to this that our leadership and management staff are all in recovery themselves and can relate first hand to what our residents face on a daily basis and know how to support them in the recovery process. Our residents learn an entirely new way of thinking and building healthy relationships and networks of support that endure long after they have completed our program. We allow women to stay in recovery residence with as long as is necessary, up to 2 years, provided that they remain in compliance with the program and are actively addressing their recovery and life situation—this means as long as is necessary to secure stable housing, gainful employment and a substance free lifestyle. Every day a woman stays at Mending Hearts is another day that she learns a lesson about respecting herself, her body and those around her.
