We at the Healing Hearts Foundation

As co-occurring specialists, The HHF staff provides continual observations and evaluations of client’s needs in all areas of their lives as they move into recovery. We provide long term intensive outpatient treatment. As recognized trauma specialists we are funded to assist victims of violent crimes with substance abuse issues so they may find their way to healing. We facilitate gender specific trauma group processes weekly to assist victims in learning their trauma responses and how to initiate healthy behavior.

OCJP (Office of Criminal Justice Programs)

has graciously granted us an opportunity to work with Victims of Violent Crime with Substance Abuse Issues.This pilot program was established for Tennessee to determine the need for this program. This program has closed a gap in victim services. We are grateful to be the pilot program for this organization.

Victims of Violent Crime with Substance Abuse Issues

This program was created to address a gap in victimâ€™s services. It is based on Seeking Safety that helps illuminate old behavior based on trauma and teaches new ways to think about trauma responses that may have exacerbated a situation. Substance Abuse is addressed as a way of coping that often escalated the situations. The outcomes of this program have been positive after 1.5 years of implementation.

The Tennessee Department of Mental Health Substance Abuse Services (TDHMSAS)

provides funding that may cover the treatment expenses for those who qualify.
