Peer-Guided Recovery for Men

The facility’s approach combines professional oversight with support from individuals who have lived through recovery themselves. This model creates accountability and practical mentorship, helping residents not only build coping skills but also see recovery modeled in daily life. As a men-only program, it also fosters shared understanding, camaraderie, and connection among residents who face similar challenges.

On-Site Recovery Meetings Keeps Care Accessible

Alcoholics Anonymous, Crystal Meth Anonymous, SMART Recovery, and other peer-led meetings are hosted right on campus. By holding these directly on-site, residents are able to stay consistently engaged in recovery practices without leaving the safety and structure of the campus. This built-in support system reinforces accountability and helps men establish long-term networks that extend beyond their time in treatment.

Comfortable Living Spaces That Emphasize Both Community and Responsibility

Residents live in fully furnished two- and three-bedroom units, share meals in a commercial kitchen and dining hall, and gather in a spacious meeting hall and lounge. Outdoor areas include a courtyard for family visits and a large grass field for football, volleyball, croquet, and horseshoes. Free laundry facilities, secure storage, and recreation options help create a safe, supportive space that balances daily responsibility with opportunities for connection and renewal.

Aftercare and Ongoing Support

Personalized aftercare plans offer outpatient and telehealth services, as well as a continuing care model that emphasizes relapse prevention, ongoing counseling, and maintaining recovery connections. For many men, this step-down support is vital for sustaining progress as they reintegrate into work, family, and community life.
