Farm life and continued support
The farm setting is a daily part of life at this residential facility. Clients may help care for pigs and chickens, work in an organic garden, prepare meals, do laundry, and contribute to their community. This structure is in place to support consistency and cooperation and helps clients play an active role in the recovery community. Upon completing residential care, clients may be able to continue with six months of outpatient care. Supportive housing may also be available for 6 months to 2 years for clients who need a longer transition.
12-Step and community involvement
The program focuses on 12-Step participation and involvement in the recovery community by attending meetings, connecting with sponsors, taking part in service work, and building relationships with others in recovery. This approach is intended to provide recovery principles through everyday interactions and responsibilities outside of clinical sessions.
Clinical and practical support
Care may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mutual aid, medical care, and psychiatric services. Clients work with a psychiatric nurse who reviews their history, symptoms, medications, diagnoses, and safety needs. Decisions about medications, including tapering when determined to be appropriate, are made collaboratively. Support for practical needs may also be available, including employment groups, GED preparation, and family services.
Residential policies and accommodations
The facility identifies itself as LGBTQ+ friendly. Sleeping areas are separated by gender. Non-binary and transgender clients may choose the arrangement that they feel most comfortable with. Clients do not have access to their cell phones during treatment. Other personal electronic devices or items, such as smartwatches, laptops, music players, and books unrelated to recovery, are also not permitted.
