Common questions & Resources
Getting clean and sober isn’t easy, But It Is Possible
Here are some common questions we get from addicts and their loved ones about getting clean and sober, how to pay for treatment, and what it’s like to come to Discovery Place.
You may be surprised by how much influence you actually have! Most of us came to Discovery Place because of decisions made by our loved ones. This is actually a big part of what we do. We were the fathers and sons in the same position as your fathers and sons. Call our drug rehab in Nashville and we will tell you about effective means of communication, emphasize expressions of love and concern, and answer any questions pertaining to your specific relationship.
If your loved one accepts the prospect of Discovery Place, it’s important to move quickly. We’ll help you with all the next steps. And if your loved one isn’t interested in accepting help, it’s a good time to consider the choices you can make to protect yourself and to prevent any actions that make a life of addiction comfortable and possible. It is also important to note that addiction interventions are often necessary to get individuals into treatment.
Our 12 step program is designed for individuals seeking drug and alcohol treatment who are ready for real change and willing to be honest, open minded, and committed to the process. If you want a structured approach, a supportive community, and guidance from people who have walked the same path, this program can be a strong fit. You do not need prior experience with 12 step work. You simply need the desire to get well and the willingness to take the next right step. If you are looking for a place that offers accountability, connection, and a clear path forward, our 12 step program may be the right choice for you.
Stepping away from your daily life for a 30 day drug and alcohol treatment program can feel overwhelming, but many people discover it’s one of the most important decisions they ever make. Most responsibilities — work, bills, family needs — can be handled with proper planning and communication. Our team can help you understand what to expect and guide you through the logistics so nothing falls through the cracks.
What matters most is your health and long term well being. Taking 30 days to focus on recovery can give you the clarity, stability, and tools you need to return to your life stronger and more capable than before. Many guests say that investing this time in themselves made everything else in their life better. If you’re willing to pause, we’re here to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
Absolutely. After the initial 30-day phase, you transition into our Long Term Recovery (Phase 2) program located in Dickson, TN—just 15 minutes away.
There, you’ll begin taking on responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, community outings, working with a 12-step sponsor, and participating in weekly family check-ins—all designed to help you apply recovery principles in real-world settings before moving into the final phase.
When you arrive, bring only the essentials: toiletries, seasonally appropriate clothing, clean socks and underwear, and any prescribed medications—properly labeled. Leave behind anything with alcohol (like mouthwash or cologne), snack foods, energy drinks, and digital devices such as phones or laptops.
You’ll be greeted by a member of our admissions team—someone who’s been through this journey—who’ll walk you through the intake process, show you your room, and introduce you to the campus.
While Discovery Place is spiritually focused, it is not affiliated with any specific religion. The program is grounded in the principles of the 12 Steps, which emphasize a spiritual solution to addiction, but people from all backgrounds and belief systems are welcome. Many guests find renewed meaning and purpose without needing to subscribe to any particular faith.
Discovery Place is peer-led, meaning many staff members are in recovery themselves and have walked the same path. The program is immersive and community-driven, offering a structured 12-Step approach without the clinical, hospital-like environment. Guests live together, support one another, and work daily on spiritual growth and personal responsibility in a setting designed to feel like home—not an institution.
