Footprints 2 Recovery Men; Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Footprints 2 Recovery is a sober living operator with recovery residences in the Nashville, Tennessee area, in Davidson County.

Recovery Housing in South Nashville and Donelson

The nonprofit runs separate men's and women's houses in South Nashville and Donelson, plus a women-and-children's residence for mothers who need housing that keeps their kids with them. Splitting the program by gender and by family status means each household is built around one population's actual needs instead of one set of rules stretched to cover everyone.

A Published, Predictable Fee Structure

Footprints 2 Recovery charges a one-time, non-refundable entrance fee of $150, with weekly fees of $200 to $235 for men's and women's housing and $235 for the women-and-children's program. A reduced monthly rate applies for residents on disability income. Publishing those numbers up front is unusual among Tennessee sober living operators, and it lets someone compare cost before ever making a phone call.

A Twelve-Step Foundation With Structured Programming

The program is built around working a twelve-step program with a sponsor, layered with codependency classes and a cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention curriculum. It has operated since around 2019 and describes itself as the next step toward independent living for someone who already has a program and a sponsor and needs the housing structure to match.

Certification and Network Affiliation

Footprints 2 Recovery is affiliated with both the National Alliance for Recovery Residences and the Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences, the two networks that hold recovery housing to a published code of ethics, disclosed fees and a written relapse and discharge policy. The operator does not publish street addresses for its individual houses, so applicants apply directly and are matched to an opening in South Nashville, Donelson or the family program.
