About Renewal House – Nashville
Renewal House in Nashville, Tennessee was founded in 1996 on the premise that separating women and their children during substance use treatment is ineffective. They provide transitional housing for women and up to two children as well as an intensive outpatient program (IOP) to help keep you on your recovery journey. This method allows mothers and children to heal together, keeping families intact.
Using dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), individual, group, and family counseling is provided. Their 24/7 staff offers trauma informed support for co-occurring disorders. Mothers can also participate in such programs as a Parenting Skills group and vocational support services like resume writing and budgeting. Case management is offered for both women and children.
The Peer Recovery Support program includes 12 step meetings and peer coaching, plus an active alumni association. Meeting three times a week, their intensive outpatient program focuses on relapse prevention and offers incentives for goals met. They also have father specific services and family support groups. Expected to open in 2025, their new Child Development Center will focus on early intervention and preventative services. Currently they provide developmental assessments and communication skills building.
