About Providence Retreat

Recovery in a 19th Century New England Farmhouse
Providence Retreat was founded in 2018. They are a small spiritually based retreat to support healing and recovery from addiction. I like that they were founded by people in recovery and therefore understand the grasp that addiction can have on your life. The facility itself is warm, cozy and inviting and is located in a 19th century New England farmhouse.
Peer Supported Recovery
Their program is focused on peer supported recovery for men. They help you avoid relapsing based on the foundation of recovery principals they provide. As a sober living facility, they will work with you to provide referrals to medical programs and community services to help medically treat your addiction and potential co-occurring disorders as you heal at their retreat.
Two Phased Sober Living Program Focused on Accountability
I think it’s great that their program is a two-phased recovery program. Their first phase helps you heal and safely withdraw from addiction through support and access to community medical assistance. Phase two prepares you for independent living. You will also have an option to work and engage with peers who are still in the first phase of treatment, which may encourage you to recognize your resiliency and accountability.
Residents are required to participate in structured programs in order to remain residents. They must also provide their own transportation to and from the facility. They are also required to remain fully employed in the program.
Amenities
Wilderness rehab programs offer all the benefits of a traditional drug rehab, but with the added benefits of outdoor adventure. Venture out into the forest to learn new skills, explore the beauty of nature, and relieve stress. Engaging in wilderness activities is a great way to gain self-discovery and release negative emotions.
Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.
There are many pathways to recovery and some journeys take a more labor-intensive approach, by attending a farm-based drug rehab. Farm life has many parallels with recovery: it requires constant tending, nurturing, and creating the conditions necessary to thrive. The benefits of a farm program include learning new skills, building a recovery community, peer support, and contributing to a greater ecosystem.
In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.
Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.
