Rachel Hardin
Director of Nursing
I was born and raised in Jackson, TN. I knew from an early age that I wanted to work in a helping profession. I graduated as a RN in 2009 and went straight into working in cardiac at the local hospital. I began my own recovery journey in 2014. In 2016, I went to work for a local treatment center and in 2017, I was part of the opening team for a long-term residential treatment program for pregnant women and women with newborns. I have been the Program Coordinator for that program since. It was during this time that I knew I had found my passion. In 2020, I became a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and in 2021, I became a Certified Addictions Registered Nurse. I know that I have found my calling in working with addicts and alcoholics; to be a steppingstone in another person’s journey to freedom, is truly a blessing.
When I am not work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our 4 beautiful daughters.
Janey Darling
Assistant Director of Nursing
Born and raised in Southern California, Janey moved to Tennessee in 2022. With her extensive knowledge and experience of the substance abuse industry, Janey was a perfect fit for our facility. Starting off as a staff nurse, she quickly rose the ranks to achieve the title of Assistant Nursing Director. Janey provides the utmost quality and care to every patient we have come through our doors.

A Team That Leads with Heart
Every member of our team shares one mission: to help people reclaim their lives from addiction with dignity and compassion.
Our physicians bring decades of clinical experience in addiction medicine, psychiatry, and internal medicine. Our nurses and nurse practitioners provide trauma-informed medical support around the clock. And our case managers, admissions coordinators, and counselors ensure that each person receives continuous care—medical, emotional, and personal.
We understand that recovery doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens through connection, respect, and trust. That’s what our team delivers every single day.
Collaboration and Excellence in Care
Our success starts with collaboration. From intake to discharge, our clinical and support teams work in harmony to deliver safe, evidence-based detox programs that address both the body and the mind.
We stay at the forefront of addiction medicine by integrating new research and clinical best practices into everything we do. That means clients benefit from advanced medical detox methods, mental health support, and personalized care planning that prepares them for lasting recovery.
