About Mending Hearts Inc
Mending Hearts Inc is a CARF-accredited residential treatment center serving Nashville women since 2004. The facility offers medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient programs with specialized tracks for veterans, pregnant women, and trauma survivors.
Mending Hearts Inc operates as a comprehensive residential treatment center in Nashville, Tennessee, specializing in addiction treatment and recovery services for women. Since 2004, this CARF-accredited facility has provided medical detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and partial hospitalization (PHP) services from their Davidson County location. The recovery center maintains a commitment to serving clients regardless of their ability to pay, accepting Medicaid, private insurance, and offering sliding scale payment options.
The substance abuse treatment continuum at Mending Hearts includes medical detox for safe withdrawal management, followed by residential treatment that serves as the foundation for long-term recovery. Their outpatient program options include both intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization levels of care, allowing clients to step down through appropriate phases of treatment. The center addresses co-occurring disorders and mental health conditions alongside addiction, with specialized programming for trauma and PTSD recovery.
Treatment approaches center on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group therapy sessions, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate. Under the clinical leadership of Medical Director Dr. Vincent Morelli and Clinical Director Yolanda Maness, LPC, LADACII, QCS, the program addresses substance use disorders while treating underlying trauma and co-occurring mental health conditions. The therapeutic framework supports clients in developing practical skills and coping strategies essential for sustained recovery.
Mending Hearts serves a diverse population including veterans, pregnant women, and individuals with court-ordered treatment requirements. The facility operates seven days a week from 7 AM to 7 PM, providing structured programming throughout the week. Founded by CEO Katrina Frierson, the organization maintains strong connections with Tennessee's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, positioning graduates to access ongoing recovery community resources and aftercare support throughout the Nashville area.
Medical Detox and Residential Treatment Programs
Mending Hearts Inc provides medically supervised detox services as the first step in their residential treatment continuum. The facility's medical detox program operates under the oversight of Medical Director Dr. Vincent Morelli, ensuring safe withdrawal management for women beginning their recovery journey. This medical foundation supports clients in transitioning to the residential treatment phase with appropriate clinical stability.
The residential treatment program serves as the primary level of care, offering intensive therapeutic programming within a structured recovery environment. Women receive comprehensive addiction treatment addressing substance use disorders while participating in cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy sessions, and medication-assisted treatment when clinically indicated. The residential setting provides the stability needed for clients to develop recovery skills before transitioning to outpatient care or sober living arrangements.
Outpatient Programs and Continuing Care
Following residential treatment, clients can access intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP) programs that bridge the gap between inpatient care and independent living. These outpatient programs allow women to maintain family and work responsibilities while continuing structured addiction treatment. The PHP option provides more intensive daily programming, while IOP offers flexible scheduling for those ready for increased independence.
Both outpatient programs maintain the therapeutic approaches established during residential care, including CBT and group therapy components. This continuity supports long-term recovery by reinforcing skills and coping strategies learned during residential treatment. The seven-day-a-week operating schedule accommodates various client needs and schedules throughout the recovery process.
Specialized Populations and Co-occurring Disorders
The recovery center serves specialized populations including veterans, pregnant women, and individuals with court-ordered treatment requirements. Clinical Director Yolanda Maness, LPC, LADACII, QCS, oversees programming that addresses the unique needs of these populations while maintaining focus on addiction treatment and recovery goals. Veterans receive care that recognizes military-related trauma, while pregnant women access specialized support throughout their treatment experience.
Co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis treatment represent core components of the clinical approach at Mending Hearts. The facility treats mental health conditions alongside addiction, with particular expertise in trauma and PTSD recovery. This integrated treatment model ensures that underlying psychological conditions receive appropriate attention within the broader recovery framework, supporting more sustainable long-term outcomes.
