The Recovery Village Drug and Alcohol Rehab Umatilla

Helping Clients Alleviate Stress and Prioritize Wellness During Their Recovery Journeys

Treatment integrates wellness and recreational activities with evidence-based care. Clients may participate in equine therapy, music therapy, art therapy, and yoga. Recreational options include swimming, basketball, volleyball, horseback riding, fitness training, and outdoor games. During treatment, these activities help clients manage stress, work on self-expression, and maintain physical wellness while working toward recovery goals.

Developing Communities of Healing Both During Treatment and At Home

Community support is a central feature of the program. Group therapy sessions cover relapse prevention, substance use education, and skill-building. Gender-specific groups, 12-Step facilitation, and SMART Recovery provide pathways to connection and recovery that align with individual beliefs and needs. Family therapy and weekly engagement sessions allow loved ones to participate in the recovery process, building clients’ support systems during and after treatment.

Accountability-Focused Aftercare Planning

Aftercare services include discharge planning, relapse prevention education, and progress follow-up. Clients are connected to alumni programs, peer support, self-help groups, and community housing resources when needed. Case management and ongoing therapy options help sustain progress.

Evidence-Based Approaches to Addressing Trauma and Co-Occurring Conditions

The facility specializes in treating co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused counseling. These approaches address conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and chronic pain while helping clients manage triggers and reduce relapse risk.

Comfortable Spaces to Connect with Peers Over Indoor and Outdoor Activities

Inpatient clients typically share rooms with one or two peers, with private accommodations available at an additional cost. The facility includes an outdoor pool, fitness center, lounges with TVs, and outdoor gathering spaces. Daily meals are prepared by in-house chefs, with vegetarian and vegan options available. Easy access to nature and outdoor activities helps clients focus on reflection and recovery, while still being able to enjoy the environment and relieve stress.
