Easy Does It Home Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Easy Does It Home is a sober house in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in Rutherford County, run by Threshold Recovery, an operator certified through the Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences. It is one of sixteen recovery homes the organization lists in the city.

Recovery Housing Named From the Rooms

Easy Does It is one of the oldest slogans in twelve step recovery, and a house carrying it announces its orientation before anyone walks in. Threshold Recovery names its Murfreesboro houses from that vocabulary, and the practical meaning for a resident is that the household expects meeting attendance and peer accountability to be part of daily life. People who arrive already working a program tend to settle into houses like this quickly.

What a Certified Sober House Owes Its Residents

Tennessee law requires recovery residences to hold certification, and the state affiliate lists Threshold Recovery among its certified organizations. Certification is a set of obligations a resident can enforce. Fees and house rules have to be disclosed in writing before move-in. A relapse and discharge policy has to exist on paper. An ethics code applies to the operator. A complaint can be taken to somebody who does not live in or run the house. This house is operated by a certified operator, and that is the part of the listing a person can verify independently.

Murfreesboro Sober Living and Getting Through a Week

Murfreesboro is the Rutherford County seat, and almost everything a resident needs in a first month is inside the city: the courthouse on the public square, Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, outpatient providers, Middle Tennessee State University, and a hiring base built on distribution centers, retail and restaurants. The Rover bus covers the main roads and Interstate 24 runs to Nashville. Living at the center of the state also means a family visit from Chattanooga, Jackson or the Tri-Cities is a day trip.

Comparing Threshold Recovery Sober Homes in Murfreesboro

Sixteen houses under one operator gives an applicant something a standalone sober house cannot. Placement is a conversation with an organization that runs men's, women's and coed households in the same city, so a poor fit is a transfer instead of an eviction and a new search. Street addresses for individual houses are not published, and applications go through Threshold Recovery, which decides where a person lands.
