Wood Violet Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who need detox and want 24/7 residential care in a private-room setting; are looking for substance use and co-occurring mental health treatment in a rural, more upscale environment; value a structured, group-centered program with individual, family, and trauma-focused therapies; want to stay connected to work or loved ones through phone and laptop access; have private insurance or can self-pay.

• Not a fit if: Those who only want outpatient care without a residential stay; prefer a highly unplugged program with restricted technology use; want a program built mainly around one-on-one therapy rather than daily group treatment; want to use Medicare or Medicaid.

What to expect

Typical schedule

• Structured clinical days: Treatment is built around group therapy, which is core to the program and may last about six hours a day. Group topics include relapse and anger-related issues, with additional support meetings such as SMART Recovery and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
• Additional therapies: Clients also participate in individual counseling, family therapy, and EMDR for trauma when needed.
• *Daily rhythm: Days begin as early as 5:00 a.m. for medications and can end around 10:00 p.m. on weekdays and 11:00 p.m. on weekends.
• Technology and visitation: The facility is phone- and laptop-friendly, so clients can stay in contact with loved ones and, in some cases, manage personal responsibilities remotely. Weekly outings are offered, and Sunday visitation may be available with therapist approval.

Developing your care plan

• Admissions assessments: Staff pre-assess each client’s physical and mental health needs to determine the type of treatment needed.
• Individualized planning: Treatment is flexible and individualized, and can include detox, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), psychological therapies, faith-based or science-based approaches, and aftercare planning.
• Detox when needed: On-site detox is available, and during this phase, clients may receive medications to reduce cravings, withdrawal symptoms, or anxiety, with 24-hour medical support available in residential care.

Who you will meet with

• Medical staff: Doctors and nurses support detox, medication needs, and around-the-clock care in residential treatment.
• Therapists and counselors: Drug and alcohol counselors lead groups, while therapists provide individual, family, and trauma-focused therapy when appropriate.
• Additional support staff: Additional staff include social workers, clinical counselors, and a recovery advocate who helps support communication between clients and staff.

Living experiences and amenities

• Private accommodations: Clients have access to private bedrooms and private bathrooms, which may appeal to people seeking more privacy and comfort during residential treatment.
• Comfort-forward setting: The facility features chef-prepared meals, housekeeping support, recreation areas, and a rural setting meant to feel calm and removed from day-to-day triggers.
• Recreation and wellness: Amenities and activities include a pool, fitness center, fishing, volleyball, reading areas, outdoor space, and weekly outings.

Aftercare

• Discharge planning: Staff work with clients on a long-term aftercare plan during treatment rather than waiting until the end of the stay.
• Ongoing recovery support: Ongoing support includes peer support and self-help groups such as SMART Recovery and AA.
