These girls really can be the best! Nothing like waking up to take your kid to school the morning of your 50th Birthday, to see this at 6:45 Am across the street! Thank you ladies for your kindness and thoughtfulness!

Give your family some time recover too. They gave you the time you need and it’s only fair you return the favor.

Congratulations to our three Eighth Judicial Recovery Court participants, Jennifer J., McKenna S,, and Kenny W.! These three have demonstrated they are willing to put the work in to change their lives. All three of them have children that they have been able to get back in their lives and are being the moms and dad that God intended for them to be from the start.

We are proud of each of you! Don’t forget where you came from. Make sure to remain humble and grateful!

That was a pretty amazing IOAD hosted by Metro Drug Coalition today. The heat was something else though! Kelli Wolfenbarger, Elizabeth Hurley, and all the girls that helped setup, thank you!

Another successful graduation! Thirteen this time! Thirteen that have put the work in. Some are staying in graduate housing and some are going home to their families. Wherever they may be, we just pray they take what they have learned over this past year and continue applying it to their lives. Congratulations to each of you, you all are part of the VFR family and we love you all! Thank you to Metro Drug Coalition for providing us a space to celebrate these individuals in!

But of course….only the BEST certifying agency in the state of TN.

SAMHSA’s newest Best Practices Toolkit: Addressing Homelessness and Addiction through “Treatment First” specifically names the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) among existing certification and accreditation models that can support shared standards and coordination.

As Tennessee’s NARR affiliate, TN-ARR carries those national recovery residence standards into certification, education, technical assistance, and accountability here at home.

National standards. Tennessee leadership. Recovery housing done with intention.
