From the rural hill country outside Nashville, Brooks Healing Center offers the practical, relationship-based support patients need for lasting recovery from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Their team specializes in complex cases, including addiction to Kratom and high-potency 7-OH, utilizing medical detox and injectable buprenorphine to stabilize brain chemistry. Supported by hands-on staff in their residential facility, patients discover lifestyle improvements such as mood stabilization, long-term sobriety, enhanced self-confidence and social skills, and better medication management.

Develop Recovery Skills in Community & Nature

Brooks’s approach blends evidence-based treatment, a positive community, and the power of nature. Days typically follow a structured schedule that includes therapy sessions, medical check-ins, group activities, and personal time. Throughout this routine, patients learn life skills, heal from trauma, and work through emotions using adventure, garden, and art therapy. The program further helps patients sustain their new lives using the 12 Steps and classes about relapse prevention.

Recover in the Countryside

Tucked away on 36 acres along the Duck River, Brooks offers a safe space to slow down and refocus on what really matters. Their technology-free setting helps patients reconnect with themselves, others, and the natural world. Carrying on its origins as a rural bed and breakfast, the facility offers gender-specific accommodations and chef-prepared meals with ingredients from their patient-nurtured garden and local sources. Patients also have access to river sports, fitness, and wellness offerings like red light therapy.

Transition Home Smoothly with Aftercare

As patients prepare to leave treatment, Brooks Healing Center develops an aftercare plan toward the end of each patient’s stay. The plan includes follow-up care, continued therapy, and strategies for maintaining progress, as well as an alumni program that keeps the conversation going as patients adjust to life back home.

Choose Abstinence or MAT
Choose Abstinence or MAT
Although Brooks focuses on abstinence, their medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program allows patients to receive carefully prescribed medications alongside therapy when appropriate. Rather than “trading one drug for another,” medications like Brixadi® can help the brain function more normally, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and lower cravings, allowing patients to focus on therapy and rebuilding their lives.
Heal through Activity, Not Just Words
Heal through Activity, Not Just Words
To complement traditional therapeutic methods, Brooks incorporates seasonally appropriate outdoor adventures and hands-on activities to support self-discovery. Patients learn to express and process emotions through equine therapy, kayaking, a ropes course, role-playing, art therapy, and guided imagery to explore and address underlying issues in a creative way.
Rewire the Brain for Breakthrough
Rewire the Brain for Breakthrough
Brooks uses brainspotting (BSP) to address the deep emotional pain commonly associated with substance use disorder, facilitating profound emotional breakthroughs and healing. A trained BSP therapist guides patients through breathing exercises, bilateral sound, and focusing on specific eye positions to access and process unresolved trauma.
Nurture Recovery by Gardening
Nurture Recovery by Gardening
Brooks believes recovery starts at the root and includes agriculture in its programming—not as a standalone cure, but as a supportive part of treatment. Patients tend a garden of vegetables and herbs, nurturing life from the ground up as a deeply symbolic practice in recovery, offering structure, connection, and a quiet sense of control.
