✔️ In 2013, our founder Judge Seth Norman and our organization began a journey to Morgan County.

✔️ We collaborated with Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and Tennessee Department of Correction and

✔️ took a prison bootcamp and turned it into a Residential Recovery Court 🏡 .

✔️ specifically for men from recovery courts from across Tennessee.

➡️ 12 years later we have much to be grateful for ☀️.

Thank you Judge Mike Pemberton and the Morgan County Residential Recovery Court - MCRRC team and all who make our Men’s Residential Recovery Court happen.

Carrying the message at the 2025 MidSouth Addiction Conference ⬇️

In 2008, our organization’s founder and visionary the Late Judge Seth Norman had lunch with another and Susan O. Binns to discuss concerns about the of recovery housing.

✅ Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences 🏠 was born.

✅ Susan Binns understood lived experience.

✅ She was once a single mom with two children and a recovery program to focus on.

✅ She also understood the importance of being able to access the basics - food, shelter, safety, connection and community.

Certified Recovery Housing with nationally recognized standards became her purpose.

✅ Together with others she helped in creating the National Alliance for Recovery Residences responsible for the standard ⭐️🏠
