Still Waters Home Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Still Waters Home is a recovery residence in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in Rutherford County, operated by Threshold Recovery. The organization runs sixteen sober living homes in the city and holds certification with the Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Quiet Household Among Murfreesboro Sober Homes

Sixteen houses under one operator lets an organization differentiate households by temperament, and a name like this one points at the low key end of that range. Some residents do better in a busy house with a lot of traffic and a lot of meetings leaving the door together. Others need somewhere they can sleep, hold a job and study. An applicant should say plainly which of those describes them, because the operator is choosing the placement.

What Certification Requires of a Tennessee Recovery Residence

Certification is mandatory for recovery residences in Tennessee, and Threshold Recovery appears on the state affiliate's certified organization list, so this house is operated by a certified operator. The commitments behind that listing are concrete. An ethics code is published. Fees and house rules go to an applicant in writing before move-in. A relapse and discharge policy exists on paper. Complaints are heard outside the house. Those four items are the difference between a certified recovery residence and a room rented to somebody who has just left treatment.

Sober Living in Murfreesboro, Rutherford County

Murfreesboro is the county seat and the largest city between Nashville and Chattanooga, which is why the county's recovery housing clusters here. Middle Tennessee State University, Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital, county government, the recovery court and a broad entry level employment base are all inside the city, and the Rover bus reaches the main corridors. Interstate 24 opens Nashville for work, and the drive to family in either grand division is manageable from the center of the state.

Reaching This Sober Living Home

Street addresses for individual houses are not published, and placement is handled by Threshold Recovery across its Murfreesboro portfolio. Ask what the weekly rate covers, what happens to the deposit, whether a house manager lives on site, what the curfew and testing rules are, and whether prescribed medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. The national standards behind Tennessee's affiliate are set by NARR.
