When one thinks of Nashville, images of the Grand Ole Opry, music, well-made cowboy boots, and creativity may come to mind. The city appeals to personalities and interests of all kinds, is easy to navigate, is filled with an abundance of activities, and possesses a friendly, positive community.

Nashville is the hub and headquarters for several corporations. It’s a bustling region with individuals—many from an entertainment, athletic, music, or high-profile career—who may be in need of respite or long-term management of a mental health issue. It also provides a central location for those in areas of the country in need of the treatment we provide.

Whether you are planning to stay with us for residential treatment or are considering care for your loved one and interested in what Nashville has to offer, we want to help prepare you for this wonderful, unique city that may very well become a huge part of your new journey.

Understanding Your Needs

Depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, borderline personality disorder, and any range of trauma-related disorders, can all result in a frustrating disruption to your creative and professional drive, as well as present a major disruption to your family structure and close relationships. This is why BrightQuest Nashville is dedicated to helping families like yours find the solution you’re seeking. And sometimes, a new environment—a new community, a new structure—is what it may take for you or your loved one to finally start developing a sense of independence and better relationship skills.

We’ve been working in long-term psychiatric care for 40 years.

What this means is, we have worked with cases spanning four decades that prove that a therapeutic community is not only supportive and healing, but an opportunity for each individual to explore and identify with their true selves. Time after time we’ve heard, “if only we started here first.” But, when it comes to mental health, there are no mistakes. It’s always a process. And we understand this.
