I heard about this new rehab center on one of the Atlanta radio stations. I cannot speak to it's effectiveness, but it sounds like a peaceful, lovely retreat in any case. “This is a women’s-only facility for those struggling with drug and alcohol problems or those with emotional needs,” says director Rebecca Kelly. They offer residential and outpatient services. The facility sits on a rural 48-acre wooded lot among the rolling foothills of the Smoky Mountains between Seymour and Maryville, Tennessee. The Brookhaven Retreat is located at 1016 I.C. King Road, in Seymour, TN.
