Pirate Springs has been in operation since August of 2015. Since that time the Clean Time division has employed 174 individuals in early recovery enabling them to pay bed fees, court fines, restitution, child support, and more, while they rebuild their lives and become societal contributors versus criminal offenders. The residential division has accepted 198 women since November of 2017 as long term residential recovery clients, boasting a 70%+ success rate* among graduates through the end of 2023.
Since January 1, 2024, Pirate Springs has opened three men’s Enhanced Sober Living homes in Bradley County offering 16 beds for men looking to change their lives and become productive citizens. We have taken in 41 men to date.
Our trauma informed approach and personal experience in recovery makes our clients feel accepted and part of something greater than their individual situations.
Clients come to our agency from all over Tennessee as well as small numbers from surrounding states.
Through effective case management, high accountability programming, fellowship, mentoring, inter-agency cooperation and referral, lives are transformed.
The impact of the transformation from being among the criminal element to productive members of society is difficult to measure but substantial.
Our next goal is to open a recovery community center. A place in Bradley County where those in recovery can come to relax in a safe environment, and play pool, watch TV, use a computer to apply for jobs or do school work, grill out with others in recovery and more.
