Spera Recovery Center
Spera is a special place—a safe and welcoming entry to recovery. People come to this unique house on Huron Street feeling lost and hopeless—and find a new way of life.
The Spera Recovery Center provides a safe, recovery-based place for alcoholics and drug addicts who want to safely withdraw from drugs and alcohol. Detox services at Spera are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In addition to monitoring symptoms of detoxification, Spera staff introduce new clients to the recovering community, as well as the philosophies and traditions of Twelve Step programs. During their stay, clients are given an opportunity to attend daily 12-Step meetings, receive education on the recovery process, and meet with support staff to form a suitable aftercare plan.
Dawn Farm believes in the power of the recovering community. We rely on this community to show Spera residents first hand that they can get better.
Spera staff have a special heart for addicts and alcoholics; they welcome clients with optimism and hope for real healing. Spera means hope.
Dawn Farm Spera has combined a number of services into an integrated center that meets the fundamental needs of men and women who are looking for a way out of the addicted life.
Assessment – When a client arrives, we assess overall health and medical risks, identify the client’s problem areas, strengths, needs and resources.
Treatment – Though clients only stay 3 to 5 days, they are busy every day with recovery activities. Spera counselors oversee withdrawal, do assessments and begin planning for the next step in recovery. We briefly educate clients about addiction, explore goals and options, and impart hope that recovery is possible.
Recovery Support – Recovery Support Specialists work with all Spera clients. These specialists are direct links to indigenous community resources.
Mutual Aid Groups – Spera program activities emphasize the 12 Steps and the power of the recovering community. Our region has many enthusiatic men and women in recovery, and clients are encouraged to develop a 12 Step based support system.
Combined with Dawn Farm’s other programs (residential services, transitional housing and outreaches), Spera offers a true continuum of care—and tangible hope to those who suffer from alcohol and drug addiction. We welcome individuals who want to change their lives—we understand what you’re going through. We can help.
If you have an addiction and want to find a better way, please call the Spera office and talk with our staff.
