A Whole Community Approach to Recovery


Nashville Recovery Court Support Foundation (NRCSF) is dedicated to supporting the therapeutic community approach to substance use disorders in the state of Tennessee. The therapeutic community approach was developed as a way to rebuild a broken system for non-violent offenders. Focusing on healing the whole person and strengthening our communities in Tennessee, our programs help residents identify behaviors that can lead to substance use disorders then implement a restorative approach to treatment and recovery. Residents learn to make positive changes in their lives through the support and guidance of fellow residents, staff members, and other community leaders all while giving back through community service.


  • “There was much more to my addiction than drugs...After being [at MCRRC], I see how much my life has changed for the better.”

    Gary W.

  • “I was using anything and everything [drugs and alcohol] … I was completely lost and hopeless. I had accepted that I was destined to be a drug addict until the day I died... I am living proof that recovery is possible.”

    David W.

  • I am so grateful for Nashville Recovery Court Support Foundation, because today after 40 years of drug abuse, I have hope and faith in myself.
