Recovery Ventures is a rigorous, two-year residential community designed for individuals ready to become sober. They treat substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders through their intensive 18-month peer-led program and transitional independent housing. This program has zero-cost and is funded entirely through structured community employment rather than insurance. They operate as a gender-specific environment for 60 men and 20 women and are guided by a 100% alumni clinical staff.

Follow a Proven Blueprint for Sobriety

Recovery Ventures offers a powerful program through a long-term, 2-year, peer-led model designed to teach clients how to live sober from the ground up. While in treatment, clients benefit from clinical staff that is composed 100% of program graduates who have successfully walked the same path. This unique dynamic strips away the hierarchy, creating an authentic community where real accountability thrives and mentors provide a blueprint for long-term sobriety.

Unwind on the Beautiful Property

At Recovery Ventures, the men’s facility has a peaceful pond and a garden, while the women’s property features an on-site pool. Residents enjoy several therapeutic pets on site, and can unwind with fishing, basketball or swimming. The bedrooms are dorm-style, where clients have roommates as they embark on their sobriety journey. To balance the demanding workweek, the program organizes incredible annual camping trips, beach outings, and holiday events.

Stay Deeply Anchored to a Recovery Community

Graduation from Recovery Ventures is the beginning of a lifelong connection to a thriving sober network. Through regular phone check-ins, group texts, and private social media pages, clients stay anchored to the peers they meet in treatment. Program graduates can take advantage of affordable structured housing to save money while practicing their independence. And they can even attend community events and mentor new clients in their sobriety journey.

Testimonial
I sought help for my addiction for the first time in my life in September of 2020. I couldn’t live life the way I was living it anymore. Over time, I started healing and learning who I really was. I started gaining the happiness that I sought for so long. It took hard work and dedication from myself, as well as the support from staff and REAL friendships and connections that I gained along the way. It isn’t easy, but it’s so worth it! I graduated after two years and moved out of program housing 6 months after that. I am still connected to the people I’ve met in this program and I am successful at doing life! The biggest thanks to Recovery Ventures and their dedicated staff for helping me save my life!

Build Discipline Through a Structured Schedule
Build Discipline Through a Structured Schedule
Throughout the week, clients follow a set schedule working various different jobs within the community that go back to cover the cost of their treatment. After their shifts, they enjoy free time to work out, relax, and connect with peers. Evenings center around community meals and mandatory, topic-driven group therapy. While men and women attend nightly sessions, they sometimes participate in morning meetings and afternoon seminars as well.

Navigate Recovery through 5 Unique Phases
Recovery Ventures has five purposeful phases to ensure clients’ long-term success. Clients begin in Transition, learning routines and building peer connections. As they progress to Acclimation and Leadership, they earn family visits, take on household responsibilities, and mentor newer peers. Lastly, through Enrichment and Internship, participants move into transitional housing, secure jobs, create budgets, and master independent life skills.

Discover Purpose Through Daily Physical Work
Discover Purpose Through Daily Physical Work
Just 1.5 miles from the men's facility, clients run a thriving hydroponic greenhouse, growing fresh lettuce and herbs for the local community. Guys step into the dirt and take full ownership of the greenhouse. They learn to nurture a seed into a crop, which teaches them patience and accountability. Through this work, they learn to cultivate genuine pride for their hard work.
