White Deer Run - Lancaster

Men-Only Environment for Peer Support

The treatment program is exclusively designed for adult men, creating a setting built around the realities, pressures, and strengths unique to men in recovery. This gender-specific model fosters openness in group settings and directly addresses men’s lived experiences with substance use, mental health, and personal identity. Residents are encouraged to connect with peers also working toward substance use recovery, reinforcing mutual accountability in a nonjudgmental environment.

Amenities Designed for Focused Recovery

The center offers purposeful amenities that support a structured recovery environment. Men stay in well-lit, shared bedrooms and can relax in a living room with a large TV during downtime. A back patio and outdoor walking paths provide space for reflection and movement. The facility’s simple, distraction-free setting is designed to help residents stay focused on healing, personal growth, and building positive daily routines.

12-Step Integration and Community Focus

The center’s philosophy weaves 12-step recovery into daily life, offering onsite meetings each day and encouraging participation in local, community-based Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) groups. This consistent focus helps men build a peer recovery network that extends beyond residential treatment. An active alumni group meets monthly to enjoy substance-free activities, share experiences, and support current clients. Family counseling is also integrated into care, helping loved ones understand addiction and begin their own healing.

Life Skills Training and Continued Care

Practical recovery skills are emphasized through structured life skills training, covering areas like budgeting, positive communication, and maintaining healthy daily routines. Relapse prevention groups help clients recognize their triggers and develop coping strategies. Staff collaborate to create continuing care plans adapted for each client that may include outpatient therapy, peer support groups, and referrals to specialists, depending on individual needs. Case management is available for clients who need legal help or connection to social services. This proactive approach supports a smoother transition to independent living.
