Facility Highlights

Healthy in the Hills: Adventure therapy through hiking local trails offers participants a transformative journey towards healing and renewal. Against the backdrop of serene landscapes and fresh air, our guided hikes provide a unique opportunity for physical exertion, mindfulness, and reflection. Along the trails, moments of shared accomplishment and supportive camaraderie create bonds among participants, reinforcing a community of encouragement and understanding.

Parenting Classes: We partner with Wellspring Pregnancy & Family Resource Center to provide weekly parenting classes to our program participants. These classes are designed to deliver evidence-based information and best practices that empower parents to enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence in fostering stronger, healthier parent-child relationships. Through interactive sessions led by knowledgeable instructors, participants learn essential techniques for effective communication, positive discipline strategies, and nurturing child development milestones.

Gym Sessions: We partner with a local gym to provide tailored physical health and exercise programs designed to alleviate withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress by promoting physical activity as a natural mood enhancer. Regular exercise helps to distract from cravings, improve sleep quality, and boost self-esteem, which are crucial factors in the recovery journey. Moreover, participating in these programs encourages individuals to build positive social connections within a supportive environment, steering them away from old triggers and reinforcing healthier lifestyle choices.

Cooking Classes: We offer cooking classes to our participants that are more than just about learning recipes; they are an opportunity for individuals to explore and embrace healthier eating habits as part of their recovery journey. Led by culinary instructors, our cooking classes emphasize nutritious meal preparation, mindful eating practices, and practical kitchen skills. Participants not only learn to create delicious and wholesome dishes but also gain valuable knowledge about nutrition and food choices that support their physical and mental health.

Pickleball Classes: Designed to cater to individuals at various stages of their recovery journey, our Pickleball Classes integrate physical activity with therapeutic benefits. Our instructors emphasize not only the technical aspects of pickleball but also its role in promoting overall wellness.

Yoga Classes: We partner with certified local yoga instructors to provide weekly yoga classes for guests in our program. These sessions are carefully designed to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being through a combination of yoga postures, breathing exercises, meditation, guided imagery and relaxation techniques. Each class aims to promote optimal mental and physical health through therapeutic practices.

Bowling & Movie Outings: We offer regular outings to bowling alleys and movie theaters for our participants. These activities provide more than just entertainment; they create opportunities for socialization, relaxation, and enjoyment in a supportive environment.

Spiritual Guidance Groups: We partner with a variety of local spiritual guidance leaders to offer our guests a meaningful opportunity to explore their personal journey of faith. Through weekly spiritual guidance groups facilitated by experienced guides, participants engage in voluntary meetings focused on listening to the voice of God in their daily lives. 

Off-Campus Church: We believe in supporting the spiritual well-being of our participants by providing access to off-campus church services. We recognize the importance of faith and spiritual growth as integral components of the recovery journey. Through partnerships with local churches, participants have the opportunity to attend services that align with their beliefs and values, fostering a supportive environment where they can find solace, guidance, and community.

On- & Off-Campus AA/NA Groups: We prioritize comprehensive support by offering participants access to both on- and off-campus AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and NA (Narcotics Anonymous) groups. These groups serve as integral components of our recovery program, providing a supportive environment where individuals can share experiences, gain insights, and receive encouragement from peers who understand their journey.
