About A Design for Living

This organization was founded and is operated by a man named Justin Coggins who desired to start a beautifully designed and luxurious sober living home for men. As he is 4 years into recovery himself, he felt the need to give men a place to continue their healing journey while feeling like their life is getting better and not worse. He partners with other sober men who are passionate about recovery to help manage the homes.
When men come to stay at A Design for Living, they have more freedom than they did in a treatment center. The men are introduced to 12 Step programs, where they can fellowship with other men in recovery. In addition to the support received from 12 Step programs, all the men engage in peer-led groups where they find additional accountability on their journey. They are also provided safe transportation and are given help finding job placements. They have 11 sober living facilities throughout middle Tennessee. The men can choose which home to live in based on location convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does A Design for Living accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (615) 266-5665 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other TN centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does A Design for Living offer?
Does A Design for Living have specialized programs?
SAMHSA data does not list specialized populations. The facility may still offer specialty tracks — confirm directly.

Specific therapy approaches are not listed in SAMHSA data. Contact the facility for clinical details.
How do I start treatment at A Design for Living?
Call the facility directly at (615) 266-5665 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
