Hands On Nashville

The Next Door is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving women in crisis, equipping them for lives of wholeness and hope. The Next Door provides services to women who are impacted by addiction, mental illness, trauma and/or incarceration. In recognition of the common need among residents for mental health and addiction counseling, The Next Door provides an integrated model to address the co-occurring disorders. A professional team of counselors, case managers, nurse practitioners – both medical and psychiatric, medical doctors, masters level social work interns, mentors, and job coaches complete the staff to provide comprehensive coverage to residents’ needs. The Freedom Recovery Community is our 20-unit apartment complex. We provide safe affordable living for women and their children. The unique feature of the FRC is the on-site access to services for co-occurring disorders, counseling, parenting classes, and early drug prevention classes for children. Treatment Services are offered for uninsured women with co-occurring disorders who have recently relapsed. Services include intensive outpatient treatment, clinical stabilization, outpatient case management, and individual and group counseling. We offer Exodus, a program for women currently incarcerated at the Tennessee Prison for Women. Exodus helps reduce recidivism rates by helping women transition successfully back into the community.
