YANA (you are never alone) is a women's recovery program offering a safe, nurturing, supportive, structured living environment for women recovering from the disease of alcoholism, addictions, and other co-occurring disorders.

The concept and dream began in 1983 and came to fruition in 1996 with our first resident. After 15 years of serving the recovering community in Nashville and beyond, we are excited to highlight our program, which includes some additions and changes.

Yana was founded based on the commitment of a group of women who were passionate, committed, and had a love for women in recovery. They were concerned for and believed women deserved choices upon leaving treatment, when going home was not yet what they were ready for. Our environment was established with all of this in mind. The selection of homes was based on safety, environment, and resources. Each home accommodates four to six women which allows for interaction and privacy at the same time. We always have a project going since we are forever changing and evolving.

The core foundation of respect, compassion, love, clinical integrity, and a full immersion into the 12-step process is still at the heart of our approach today. The compassion that previous women of YANA feel for what they received causes them to continue to return years after their stay to give back to the newcomers.

We constantly strive to evolve and improve the quality of our services by adding necessary, therapeutic tools and specialties to meet the needs of our gender-specific environment. We could not do what we do without the trust and collaboration provided from the great resources in our community. Thank you for your continued support and we welcome and value your feedback.
