If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
We work with the whole family — not just the person in recovery. Because when one person hurts, the whole family hurts.

Why Open Door is Different
We don't focus on what went wrong. We focus on what comes next.
We Never Remove You for Relapse
Relapse is part of recovery for many people. We teach truth, love, and a productive life — and we keep walking with you through the hard parts.
Christ-Centered, Not Shame-Centered
Our foundation is the Word of God, not condemnation. We point people toward freedom, not their past. The atmosphere here is acceptance and unity.
The Whole Family is Welcome
Children’s Ministry runs alongside adult classes so kids are cared for while parents participate. Family meals every week reinforce that togetherness matters.
Highly Qualified Leaders
Our volunteers include retired teachers, social workers, nurses, and business professionals — all giving their time in the areas where they’re most equipped.

Certified through the TN Dept. of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, with court-recognized parenting and anger management certifications.

This is what change looks like.
“We stepped up to help her with the courts. She received her children back — with a job, a home, and the whole family attending our classes.”
Mary Jo came to us through the Hardin County jail recovery program. She’d been to treatment before with no lasting results. She had five children in DCS custody and no clear path forward.
She completed every requirement. She showed up every week. Our team walked alongside her through the courts, the setbacks, and the hard days. She still struggles sometimes. But she still has her children.
