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. Their program was designed to go the extra mile for men who are struggling with alcohol and drug addictions as well as co-occurring mental health disorders. 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. Therapeutic approaches include
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and
dual diagnosis. 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. Extra Mile Recovery involves their clients in the 12-Step programming to help them set goals, hold themselves accountable, and learn how to make their growth as sustainable as possible.
Extra Mile Recovery can accommodate 25 men at a time in either private or semi-private accommodations.

The apartments are either 2 bedroom 1 bathroom or 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, and the amenities are the same as the cabins.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Extra Mile Recovery provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
