About this Recovery House
Still Waters Recovery for Men is a men's sober living home on Red Bank Creek Road in Lobelville, Tennessee, in Perry County, part of the Still Waters Recovery program built on a 12-step immersion model since 2009.
A Men's Recovery House in Perry County
This campus sits in Lobelville, a small town in Perry County along the Buffalo River corridor in Middle Tennessee, and its rural setting is part of the program's design. Distance from a former routine, a former using environment and old associations gives men room to focus on the 12-step work the program builds its days around, without the pull of a city just outside the door.
A 12-Step Immersion Model
Still Waters describes its approach as fellowship, spirituality and peer-led healing, drawing on historical recovery models including the Minnesota Model's emphasis on mutual support. Every staff member has personal recovery experience, and the program structures each day, from morning meditation through accountability groups, around the steps themselves.
Growth From a 14-Bed Start
Still Waters began with 14 beds serving men only and has since expanded into a two-campus program that has graduated more than 1,000 people. The men's program at this Lobelville location remains the original site, and its history gives the program a track record longer than most sober living operators in the state can point to.
Perry County and Rural Middle Tennessee
Perry County's seat is Linden, and Lobelville sits within the same rural county, well outside the density of Nashville or Columbia. For men who need distance from an urban using environment, that rural placement is a deliberate feature, and Still Waters pairs it with a peer-led staff model to keep residents from feeling isolated.
Still Waters' Companion Women's Program
Still Waters Recovery for Men operates alongside a women's program on a separate campus in Pegram, roughly an hour away in Cheatham County. The two campuses share a name, a founding philosophy and a staffing model built entirely on peer recovery experience, even though each serves a single gender on its own grounds.
Admissions for Still Waters
Potential residents are interviewed by staff to determine their appropriateness for Still Waters. All information remains confidential. It is required that all residents of the Still Waters program must give permission for Still Waters staff to contact appropriate individuals for emergency contact, family contact, and any other individuals the resident may need us to contact. Applicants not qualified for Still Waters services are provided with a list of alternatives and assisted with program placement.
Still Waters is geared for motivated individuals who need a very 12-Step intensive program instead of a traditional treatment model. Â We are committed to help those who are motivated for change to make the needed adjustments and commitments to realize a daily life free from alcohol and drugs and based on the spiritual principles of 12-step recovery.
