Brooks Healing Center

In the rural Tennessee town of Normandy, Brooks Healing Center harnesses the comfort of nature in the surrounding countryside to help adults heal from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Founded by an individual in long-term recovery, Brooks Healing Center was created so that no one feels alone on their journey to recovery. Using a blend of evidence-based and experiential therapies, they help clients heal the mind, body, and spirit for a holistic recovery. Some of the therapies offered include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), brainspotting, 12-Step facilitation, animal therapies and expressive activities like art, music, and crafts. Close to city comforts yet separate enough from the real world, it’s a perfect location to slow down and heal in peace.
Brooks Healing Center specializes in top-of-the-line, research-backed therapeutic techniques. Their modalities are delivered by a team of heart-centered and seasoned staff who’ve seen it all. They provide a safe, comfortable detox environment where clients can regain their baseline health while a team of medically trained professionals takes care of them. During residential recovery, clients submerge themselves in a structured, supervised, and supportive environment. Each client receives a meticulously crafted program addressing not just the addiction itself, but its underlying causes like mental health struggles, trauma, and relationship issues. Clients engage in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a goal-oriented talk therapy that focuses on the cycle of how thoughts impact feelings and, in turn, actions. Their 12-Step facilitation also helps clients maintain abstinence from substances.
Experiential therapies are at the core of the Brooks Healing Center’s mission. Therapies that incorporate art, music, role playing, and animals offer an effective approach to addressing clients’ addiction and mental health challenges by focusing on the present moment. These immersive treatment methods complement CBT and 12-Step offerings by providing non-verbal ways of exploring the world.
Planted between Nashville and Chattanooga, Brooks Healing Center is surrounded by luscious greenery and fresh air only found in the country. It’s a relaxing and supportive environment that helps clients leave the pressures of life behind as they take their first steps on the road to recovery. The property features shared rooms, a library, and several indoor and outdoor lounge spaces. clients have access to nature and can take in the beautiful natural area from hammocks and swinging chairs around the property. Brooks Healing Center utilizes their beautiful property for experiential therapy sessions including animal care, role-playing, music, arts and crafts, and more.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Brooks Healing Center offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Brooks Healing Center works with 24 insurance providers.
