The 501 House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The 501 House is a women's sober living home on South Main Street in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, in Sumner County.

A Women's Sober House on South Main Street

The 501 House houses up to five women at a time, a small enough group that residents get to know each other and the staff quickly. South Main Street runs through the older commercial core of Goodlettsville, a Middle Tennessee city that straddles the Davidson and Sumner county line just north of Nashville.

Mental Health Counseling and Practical Support

Alongside housing, the program connects residents with mental health counseling and help finding work or continuing education, the two pieces that most often determine whether early recovery holds once the structure of treatment ends. The stated goal is a close-knit household where residents pursue their own goals with support, not supervision alone.

Goodlettsville's Place in Middle Tennessee

Goodlettsville sits along the Interstate 65 corridor between Nashville and Gallatin, the Sumner County seat, putting residents within reach of both cities' job markets, outpatient providers and courts. That position gives a woman leaving treatment a genuine choice of where to work and where to keep appointments, instead of being tied to one small town.

What Tennessee Requires of Recovery Housing

Tennessee requires recovery residences to be certified, and two bodies certify homes in the state: the Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences and Recovery is the New High. Certification obliges a written code of ethics, disclosed fees and house rules before move-in, and a written relapse and discharge policy.
