About Extra Mile Recovery

Extra Mile Recovery is located on 10 acres of wooded campus just off of the serene Old Natchez Trace Trail. Extra Mile Recovery is a gender-specific, long term treatment facility for men.

Extra Mile Recovery combines 12-Step and evidence-based modalities. They have programs that can be 30, 60, or 90 days. Clients begin their journey with a thorough evaluation to determine their physical and psychological health. Extra Mile Recovery can facilitate detoxification on-site.
Extra Mile Recovery has individual and group therapy sessions that are required every week.

Medication management can be facilitated, and clients can expect to participate in nutritional guidance, mentorship, life skills training, psycho-education, and anger resolution therapy. Most of the staff have spent years in recovery, so they understand the struggles clients experience.
