S2L Recovery

What S2L Recovery does

S2L Recovery (also doing business as Spring2Life Recovery) is a privately held, faith-based addiction treatment organization founded in 2006 and headquartered in McMinnville, Tennessee. The company operates a Joint Commission-accredited residential program that combines medically supervised detox (5-7 days), a two-phase 84+ day residential curriculum (Phase 1 Freedom Forge, 42 days; Phase 2 The Cabin, 42 days), dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions, and an optional 6-month internship followed by lifelong alumni aftercare. Its proprietary "Lost and Found Recovery in Christ" curriculum and Non-12-Step 7 Principles framework differentiate it from secular and traditional 12-step programs, supported by 50+ full-time clinical staff including ordained pastors, licensed therapists, a Medical Director, and a Director of Nursing at a 1.5-to-1 staff-to-client ratio.

The business serves men ages 18+ nationwide from a 36-bed McMinnville campus (10 acres) and is opening a 22-bed Woodbury, TN women's facility in 2026, bringing total system capacity to 58 beds. Revenue is generated through residential treatment episodes reimbursed primarily via out-of-network commercial insurance (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR, Prime Health), in-network TRICARE East, VA Community Care Network, ChampVA, and private pay. The company markets via SEO-optimized condition-specific pages, social media, a Christian podcast, the "Hope After Addiction" alumni podcast, and a published Dazos behavioral-health CRM case study, with 24/7 phone admissions (615-819-4175) and Nashville BNA airport pickup supporting a patient base of which approximately 70% travels from outside Tennessee.

Management is led by Pastor Adam Comer (CEO), Pastor Ron Anderson (EVP), Pastor Carl Ubiñas (Chief Growth Officer), Sarah Keel (Executive Director, Women's Division), Dr. Andrew Daigle (Medical Director), Dr. Brian Wind, and Jennifer Terral (Director of Nursing). Operational outcomes cited include an 84% program completion rate, a 60% one-year alumni sobriety rate, and a 7.5x higher success rate compared with traditional 30-day rehabs. The firm holds Tennessee Department of Mental Health licensure, SAMHSA listing, AACC Christian Care Connect recognition, and Joint Commission Gold Seal accreditation, and is referenced as a case study partner for Dazos.
