About Sunrise House
Sunrise House Treatment Center was a community known as Christ House, owned and operated by a brotherhood of Franciscan Monks before its transformation in 1982 into the Sunrise House. Though Sunrise House is no longer a monastery, they have kept its history and structure. Sunrise House can accommodate up to 90 clients at a time. Their evidence-based therapies include individual and group therapy, gender-specific therapy, LGBTQ+ groups, anger management, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Additional therapies include mindfulness, music therapy, and the 12-Step Program.
Sunrise House specializes in Veteran, trauma, young adult, LGBTQ+, and First Responders treatment. Programs treat conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, grief, and loss, with clinical leadership from experts with relevant experience. Men and women are welcomed into each program at Sunrise House.
Believing that their 90-day program will set clients up for lasting recovery, they make a 90 Day promise to their clients: if clients relapse, they are welcome to come back for a complimentary 30 days of treatment. Sunrise House’s range of therapies and care, combined with this promise, reflect their history of success and commitment to sobriety.
Sunrise House is set on 22 acres in the mountains. They have plentiful outdoor seating to enjoy their location, a fitness center, and yoga. Meals are provided in a cafeteria setting and prepared by chefs. Sunrise House provides gender-specific shared bedrooms and bathrooms. They offer community meetings, 12-Step walks, and gardening during the spring and summer months.
The Sunrise House is accredited by CARF and accepts most major private insurances. They also offer a variety of payment options.
