If you are looking for a place to detox look no further. Everybody who works at Live Again is caring, capable, and compassionate. Travis runs the show and always has an open door and a smile. Chris my Therapist helped me overcome things that has been holding me back since childhood. Chelsea is a spiritual guru who will feed your soul with her beautiful energy. Chris the tech is a great friend and made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. Daniel is caring, cool, and understanding. Nick is intelligent, humble, and kind. Lee Ann tells you what you need to hear and always makes you grow with her wisdom. Live Again is located on Historic Music Row in Nashville. The group size is always small so you get to be heard and are given the attention you need in your difficult time. The food is amazing too. If you approach this place with an open mind and an open heart, it is impossible to not to feel true change.

A great place for starting my recovery journey again.

I’ve waited a really long time to write this, but decided it’s finally time.
I’m currently 16 months sober, and I owe so much of that to the team at Live Again Detox. This wasn’t my first rodeo, or even my second, but more along the lines of “oh, we doing this again?” I’ve been to some really terrible places in my recovery journey over the last 17 years, but Live Again ranks among the best. From day one, I was treated with care and compassion and I could tell that the clinicians, nurses, and recovery team really cared. They handled me with care and dignity, helping me to feel seen and heard for the first time in a long time.
The catering was top-notch and there were groceries runs about 1x week.
The bedrooms provided were spacious and clean (and there’s even a tv provided!)
The communal areas were always kept well stocked with snacks and drinks. The living room area had video game consoles as well as a large selection of novels to choose from, should you feel so inclined.
There was ample opportunities to attend in-house recovery meetings, such as AA.
There are counselors on site to visit with as needed.
Live Again truly helped me to set a solid foundation for recovery, and I have recommended them several times since I left their care. If you are in need for specialized SUD care, I highly recommend these guys!

Thank you, care team for making me feel like a person again.
