Residential Treatment

Program Description

Dawn Farm is committed to meeting the unique needs of each client. Our long-term residential program offers individual treatment planning with a highly qualified clinical staff. Treatment plans combine evidence-based approaches including mutual aid programs, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, personal medicine for co-occurring disorders, and psychiatric services delivered by an experienced psychiatric nurse practitioner. Additionally, we provide medical care, art therapy, employment groups, GED prep, and specialized family services to assist with improving basic family relationships. 

Our facilities operate cooperatively, so clients will make meals, do laundry, care for animals, and generally care for themselves and one another while it treatment. One of our primary goals is to assist residents in finding a place within the recovering community. We help each person develop a foundation with others in recovery to ensure each individual has a support system in place for long-term success.

Dawn Farm is LGBTQ friendly.  Our sleeping arrangements in residential treatment are gendered—but trans and nonbinary people are able to choose which sleeping arrangement is most comfortable for them. Please do not hesitate to ask our intake team any other questions you have about gender in treatment.

Continuum of Care

Our long-term residential treatment is the highest level of care offered along Dawn Farm’s continuum of care. The 3-4 month length of stay is critical to the success of those we serve. According to a Yale University study, 90 days of abstinence creates the “sleeper effect.” This is “a gradual re-engaging of proper decision making and analytical functions in the brain’s prefrontal cortex.” (Full article) Clients remain supported even after their 3-4 month stay through our six month outpatient aftercare program. Additionally, all clients will have the opportunity to enroll in our supportive transitional housing program, offering between six months and two years of supportive, recovery-based housing. Our long-term approach to treatment mirrors recovery programs offered to physicians with substance use disorders.
