Women seeking a long-term residential program for drug and alcohol addiction can participate in a 12-month, Christ-centered recovery program at The Refuge Ranch. Open since 2007, the program serves women on a 120-acre property in rural Martin County and combines residential care with structured daily responsibilities, group sessions, and recovery-focused education. Women live on-site and may continue into the Transition Program or Servant Leadership Training Program after completing the main program.

Faith-Based Recovery and Life Skills

The Refuge Ranch integrates the 12-Step model throughout its recovery process while emphasizing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Care is delivered through daily group sessions, peer-led classes, recovery education, and structured routines led by staff and trainees who have completed the program themselves. Women also receive nutrition education, employment support, budgeting instruction, and guidance in creating transition plans for returning to work, family, and community life.

Daily Schedule on The Ranch

Women begin the day with a morning walk across the property, followed by breakfast, personal devotion time, household responsibilities, and group sessions from 9:30 a.m. to noon. After lunch, they participate in work assignments such as maintaining the grounds, caring for whitetail deer, working in the vegetable garden, or preparing meals. Weekends include family visitation hours with recovery education, church attendance, and scheduled community activities.
