Hello,

I have found the place that you're referring to.

http://www.recoveryranch.com/
http://www.recoveryranch.com/mission.html

The Ranch uses the healing power of nature, combined with loving,
compassionate community and hands-on experiential therapies. We have
seen dramatic changes and long-term success for a variety of recovery
issues, including, but not limited to: managed eating disorders,
compulsive behaviors, anxiety disorders, codependency, trauma and
PTSD, depression, relationship and romance addiction, sex addiction,
bipolar disorder, alcohol and drug dependency, unresolved grief and
chronic relapse .

Therapeutic services to The Ranch residents include education,
individual, group and family therapy, psychiatric consultation, after
care services, and the unique programs of Equine and Adventure-based
therapies.

Men's Accommodations
Four miles from the women's house, an authentic cowboy bunkhouse and
renovated train depot provide rustic, yet comfortable, surroundings
for the men.
The setting is a blending of Tennessee's past and present. The
pre-Civil War smokehouse/group room, a remodeled early 20th century
train depot and cowboy bunkhouse serves as the men's residence.
Pinewood Farm dates back to the 1850's and is still today a working
cattle and Quarter Horse operation. The beautiful Piney River flows
though the heart of the property, offering residents the opportunity
to fish and canoe.
