Operated by veterans, Tree House Recovery in Nashville, Tennessee, treats clients struggling with alcoholism or drug addiction. They employ their mind-body method to create a holistic program that was created by Founder Justin McMillen. The goal is to “take the struggle of getting sober and use it to bond people together. In that struggle, there emerges a camaraderie made of trust, vulnerability, success, and support that feels like home.” Treatment bridges multiple levels of care, featuring a primary men’s partial hospitalization program (PHP) with housing, alongside a co-ed intensive outpatient program (IOP).

Follow 8 Connected Steps to Rebuild Mind, Body, and Social Ties

Instead of putting bandaids on symptoms, the Tree House approach looks at the root causes of addiction: physical breakdown and feeling isolated. They work to heal both the mind and body together using an 8-part curriculum:

  • Addiction Education (learning how the brain works)
  • Process Groups (talking things out with peers)
  • One-on-One Therapy (4 private clinical counseling sessions per week)
  • Writing Therapy (putting painful memories onto paper)
  • Fitness Therapy (daily workouts to heal the body)
  • ABIT (fast-paced, action-based team challenges)
  • Yoga Therapy (learning to quiet the nervous system)
  • Recovery in Action (building confidence for daily life)

Five days a week, clients sweat it out in group workouts. Forcing the body to move acts like a hard reset and can help fix broken sleep, lower anxiety, and cut through the pain of withdrawal. When clients face these daily challenges alongside other people, the focus shifts to what a person can handle right now, making it easy to realize they are not defined by their addiction.

Enjoy an Environment Designed to Ground and Support the Mind

Located right in the heart of Nashville, Tree House Tennessee is built to feel comfortable and welcoming, not clinical. Clients recover as a team, building social connections and hanging out together between sessions. The physical activities that happen here oscillate between high-energy, exercise-based group therapy and yoga classes designed to help heal both the body and the mind. Through practical mindfulness, breathwork, and grounding exercises, individuals learn how to quiet racing thoughts, balancing out the hard physical work of the day.

Access the Fitness, Counseling, and Tools That Keep Clients Grounded

Instead of rushing back into daily life, individuals can transition into structured housing for up to a full year, giving them room to hold down regular jobs without losing their footing. Through the co-ed intensive outpatient program (IOP), both men and women keep accessing the vital components of recovery: like group fitness, relapse prevention, and counseling, so they can rebuild their lives while being anchored to a community.

Unpack Trauma Through Guided 1:1 Writing Sessions
Unpack Trauma Through Guided 1:1 Writing Sessions
The writing therapy program gives clients a private space to face heavy stuff from their past. Clients meet one-on-one with a writing counselor to tackle a specific topic and put their thoughts onto the page. Writing down these painful, unsaid memories can strip away their power, helping clients safely process trauma and walk away with an incredible tool for emotional clarity.
Teach the Mind to Handle Sudden Stress with ABI Therapy
Teach the Mind to Handle Sudden Stress with ABI Therapy
The Action-Based Induction Therapy (ABIT) program uses high-energy group activities to strengthen the brain. Three days a week, clients come together for collaborative challenges, like navigating ocean waves in inflatable rafts or practicing disciplined martial arts sequences in the gym. These fast-paced, unpredictable settings force clients to manage stress, communicate under pressure, and rely on the person next to them.
Get an Education on How the Body Heals
Get an Education on How the Body Heals
The addiction education program helps people understand what is happening in their brains. Five days a week, clients connect science to exactly what they are going through. For example, learning about temporary challenges like Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS) changes everything. It shows individuals that emotional roller coasters aren't personal failures, but a normal part of healing.
Receive Help For the Whole Family, Not Just the Person in Recovery
Receive Help For the Whole Family, Not Just the Person in Recovery

The Tree House family program is designed to support spouses, parents, and family members as they heal their own side of the street. Through virtual sessions, families learn to clear up boundary confusion and shift from anxious caretaking to a healthier, more sustainable way to love.
