Divided Sky is a nonprofit residential recovery program in Ludlow, Vermont, rooted in the 12 Steps, mindfulness, community, and emotional sobriety. Their 30-day, non-clinical program welcomes adults ages 20 and older who are medically stable and ready to embrace abstinence-based recovery. Their model helps guests restore their sense of dignity and find hope in the possibility of a joyful, sober life.

Foster Joy to Support Lasting Sobriety

Divided Sky provides an immersive, educational experience where guests develop the skills to reconnect with themselves and what makes life meaningful. Group-based programming emphasizes:

  • Developing emotional steadiness to respond with intention rather than reactivity
  • Building resilience to navigate stress, cravings, and unhelpful thought patterns
  • Making the 12 Steps relevant to everyday life

Guests can also explore creative expression through art and music, nature walks, forest bathing, yoga, and family engagement.

Rest, Eat, and Heal in a Special Place

Set in the Vermont countryside overlooking Okemo Mountain, Divided Sky offers guests the space to breathe a little deeper and connect with nature. Guests share rooms, with women’s rooms occupying a separate loft area. The campus has a gym, instruments waiting to be played, and cozy nooks and peaceful outdoor areas for reflection and connection. Nourishing home-cooked meals remind guests that self-love is also what they put into their bodies.

Prepare for Life Beyond the Mountain

Thirty days can be a meaningful beginning as guests build awareness, practice new skills, and begin developing supportive routines and relationships. Divided Sky’s aftercare team helps guests prepare for what comes next, while the alumni community offers ongoing connection and encouragement through in-person and online meetings. People with at least one year of continuous sobriety are welcome to join Recovery Recharge, a weeklong intensive to reset or dive deeper.

The dining room is a place of joy (and butter and maple syrup). Programming is truly person centered, positive focus, generously nature based. People laugh here. A lot.

Embrace Community in Recovery
Embrace Community in Recovery
Divided Sky is a place that feels like home for those who have lost that sense of belonging. Peer-to-peer connection and guidance from skilled group facilitators are at the heart of the experience. Together, guests and program staff create an environment where people can be honest and remember they do not have to recover alone.
Make Nature Part of Daily Life
Make Nature Part of Daily Life
At Divided Sky, a quiet moment in one of the hammocks or a conversation around the fire pit on a chilly fall night can be as meaningful as time spent in a group. Regular hikes, trips to nearby lakes, and adventures in the local community are also part of the experience.
Live Out the 12 Steps
Live Out the 12 Steps
At Divided Sky, the 12 Steps shape every day of the program. Guests dig into the Big Book in a study group, attend AA, NA, and ACA meetings, and head out to a community meeting every Thursday. On Saturday evenings, guests attend a meeting at Wilson House, the birthplace of AA co-founder Bill Wilson.
Heal With the Help of a Scholarship
Heal With the Help of a Scholarship
As a nonprofit, Divided Sky works to make recovery more accessible for everyone. Scholarships are available for those who demonstrate need, so cost doesn’t have to be a logistical barrier. With their Women’s Scholarship Fund, Divided Sky aims to break down the financial and social barriers that can make seeking recovery especially difficult for women.
MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT

Supportive Medication for Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT

This center accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere for opioid use disorder, but does not prescribe it.

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
