About Brooks Healing Center
In the rural Tennessee town of Normandy, Brooks Healing Center harnesses the comfort of nature in the surrounding countryside to help adults heal from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Founded by an individual in long-term recovery, Brooks Healing Center was created so that no one feels alone on their journey to recovery. Using a blend of evidence-based and experiential therapies, they help clients heal the mind, body, and spirit for a holistic recovery. Some of the therapies offered include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), brainspotting, 12-Step facilitation, animal therapies and expressive activities like art, music, and crafts. Close to city comforts yet separate enough from the real world, it’s a perfect location to slow down and heal in peace.
Healthier Ways of Living and Thinking
Brooks Healing Center specializes in top-of-the-line, research-backed therapeutic techniques. Their modalities are delivered by a team of heart-centered and seasoned staff who’ve seen it all. They provide a safe, comfortable detox environment where clients can regain their baseline health while a team of medically trained professionals takes care of them. During residential recovery, clients submerge themselves in a structured, supervised, and supportive environment. Each client receives a meticulously crafted program addressing not just the addiction itself, but its underlying causes like mental health struggles, trauma, and relationship issues. Clients engage in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a goal-oriented talk therapy that focuses on the cycle of how thoughts impact feelings and, in turn, actions. Their 12-Step facilitation also helps clients maintain abstinence from substances.
Embracing the Present Moment through Experiential Therapies
Experiential therapies are at the core of the Brooks Healing Center’s mission. Therapies that incorporate art, music, role playing, and animals offer an effective approach to addressing clients’ addiction and mental health challenges by focusing on the present moment. These immersive treatment methods complement CBT and 12-Step offerings by providing non-verbal ways of exploring the world.
Recovery Rooted in Nature
Planted between Nashville and Chattanooga, Brooks Healing Center is surrounded by luscious greenery and fresh air only found in the country. It’s a relaxing and supportive environment that helps clients leave the pressures of life behind as they take their first steps on the road to recovery. The property features shared rooms, a library, and several indoor and outdoor lounge spaces. clients have access to nature and can take in the beautiful natural area from hammocks and swinging chairs around the property.

Co-Occurring Disorders
Brooks Healing Center addresses not only the client’s addiction, but any underlying causes like mental health conditions. They use CBT, experiential therapy, and trauma-informed therapy to help clients understand and ease the impact of co-occurring mental health disorders. This is crucial for long-term recovery, as treating both addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously leads to better outcomes.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
The team at Brooks Healing Center uses trauma-informed therapy to help clients identify their trauma triggers and provide resources to manage them. Clients learn to navigate fears of specific places, people, or activities that remind them of their trauma. They develop healthy coping mechanisms to use when feeling overwhelmed by trauma. This form of therapy can also validate a client’s feelings, allowing them to feel seen, if they have been told that they’re overreacting to their trauma or are making it up.
Brainspotting Therapy
Brooks Healing Center offers brainspotting to provide relief for clients battling anxiety, attachment issues, substance use, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and major depressive disorder. This therapeutic technique involves identifying and processing emotional distress by focusing on specific points in the body. A trained therapist guides the client through a process of mindfulness, relaxation, and eye-movement to pinpoint areas of discomfort and facilitate healing.
Animal Therapies
At Brooks Healing Center, animal therapies provide clients with opportunities to confront their feelings in a safe way. When people are focused on an activity such as animal care, they tend to be less guarded. For example, if a client is asked to interact with one of the animals at Brooks Healing Center but the animal doesn’t react the way the client was anticipating, that interaction may help them reflect on their own behaviors and improve patterns that contribute to their addiction.
