About Spring Lake Ranch

Spring Lake Ranch is a drug rehab center that offers a very wide range of services to adults living in the Cuttingsville, Vermont, area. They offer residential treatment for those suffering from drug and alcohol addictions, as well as co-occurring conditions, which can include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more.

This ranch really piqued my interest because of their vast array of services. Their property has several homes that house anywhere between two to eight residents per household. They also have four crews that you can be assigned to. These include Farm Crew, Gardens Crew, Shop Crew, and Woods Crew.

Each of these crews will give you specific tasks throughout the day. You would be working five hours a day. For example, the Farm Crew will tend to the cows, sheep, chickens, goats and pigs, while the Gardens Crew will tend to the vegetable gardens, help in the kitchen, and more. The Shop Crew helps repair furniture and fix tools. The Woods Crew will spend their time in the 700-acre forest, gathering wood for different tasks around the property.

I thought this was such a cool and interesting way to connect with nature while you recover. I also like that they focus on your strengths rather than your weaknesses.

They also have great recreational activities such as hiking, skiing, swimming, camping, and canoeing. Their property also has a fully functional gym and fitness center, a basketball court, a tennis court, and a game room with billiards and table tennis. They even have indoor activities like pottery, yoga, music, sewing, knitting, and art.

Violated HIPAA. Staff were mostly untrained kids in their 20s that hooked up off the clock. Generally didnt seem like they knew how to help many of their residents out side of having them go thru the motions of the work program.. way over priced

Spring Lake Ranch was there for me when I did not know where to go or how to pick up my life after a bout of severe depression and weeks of ECT treatment. The Ranch provided me a space to heal amongst community. Even if I felt terrible, at the end of the day, I got out of bed, worked, engaged with community and was productive. That was an essential building block to my recovery. The Ranch has a big heart. They root for you and help you long after your stay. Thank you Ranch! Stacy

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs approach recovery as a life-long process that requires robust, individualized, and ongoing care. Clients in drug rehab aftercare have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient treatment and are weeks or months into their recovery journey. These programs are designed to promote clients' continued sobriety through a comprehensive portfolio of services aligned with the clients' evolving needs. Peer coaching, career counseling, and relapse prevention services are standard in these continuing care programs.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Medical detox is the process of weaning your body off addictive drugs like alcohol, benzodiazepines, or opioids, under the 24/7 care of medical professionals. Often the first step in the recovery process, medically assisted detox takes place in an inpatient setting, where you will be closely monitored to ensure your maximum health and safety. Medications, like Suboxone or Vivitrol, may be administered if needed to alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

A person with substance dependence can achieve recovery through drug rehab in Vermont. Professional staff provide a combination of interventions that are designed to help you attain and maintain abstinence from drugs.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Clinical Services

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Vermont, you may set SMART goals, engage in guided discovery, journal, and participate in cognitive restructuring. These activities help change patterns of thinking and behavior to address substance use and mental health disorders effectively.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

The core principles of motivational interviewing are acceptance, compassion, partnership, and evocation. This collaborative process offers a nonjudgmental environment where the therapist expresses sympathy, highlights the client's strengths, and empowers them to explore necessary change.

During nutrition therapy in Vermont, you'll learn food related skills that will help you in the recovery process. This might include learning what to eat, how to shop for groceries, how to cook nutritious meals, and how addiction affects your nutrition.

We are seeking to establish a residential, rural, therapeutic farm in Australia.I had a half-day visit to Spring Lake Ranch to view the facility, and learn something of the services offered to clients, their policies and programs, the nature of the community and the caring therein, and the outcomes achieved.In that short visit I was impressed first with the magnificent, yet peaceful mountain environment... truly close to nature. I joined them in the dining room for lunch, talking to both staff and residents. The food was excellent, with a wide range of healthy options. Some of the residents were playing guitars or other instruments.From talking to staff I learnt of their focus on client safety, and client support. I am advised that whilst there are generic work programs for all to engage in, there are choices within that, and counseling/treatment is customized to the needs each individual. Overall this seems to be an excellent facility and I have rated it accordingly as above.

As I flipped back to my first journal from treatment, I came across this quote stamped on the opening pages. "And once the storm is over, you wont remember how you made it through. How you managed to survive. You won't even be sure in fact whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain... When you come out of the storm, you wont be the same person as you were when you walked in."When I wrote that, I'm sure for a fact I questioned my faith. I questioned my ability to get through all of this. And I questioned whether or not another treatment center would actually work after already being placed in multiple other ones. I was lost. And I wasn't sure if I could survive.I walked into SLR helpless and hopeless- And it became the open book to a new life. Today, three years later, I have journals and journals filled of my journey. And the start of my story began here. SLR gave me the foundation to learn to become independent and happy again. It gave me the therapeutic aspect of recovery with their 'work' program. It gave me a consistent schedule each day to work towards. And it taught me life long responsibilities that are necessary to living independently. On top of that, I have made life long friends that have helped me get through some of the challenges that I deal with today in my every day life.Today, three years later- I ended up relocating to VT after going through their entire program so I could be closer to the people that loved me most when I could not love myself. I see the same counselor that I began to see when I first arrived. SLR takes you step by step at your own pace. I was able to attend AA meetings as well and then go through their transitional living program. Once off the hill, I moved to Royce Street and then to the town house where I had my own space.After stepping out of the Ranch, I had the foundation and confidence that I could get through any obstacle I faced. As long as I utilized the tools that I learned from the Ranch and the Program of AA. Today, I currently reside in VT and I work in the mental health field. I have gained life long friends and I have obtained the two wishes that my Mother and Father had set for me from the beginning. Happiness and Independence. I am also a Mom to beautiful little one year old boy who reminds me daily to do the next right thing. The challenges of life still persist on a daily basis. Today, I have the tools I need in order to get through them without having to pick up a drink or a drug.Spring Lake Ranch has been the greatest gift of my life. It taught me how to live again. How to love myself just the way I am. And then to share love with others while giving people HOPE whom have struggled with similar challenges that I have in life. I have learned that I am not alone nor am I unique. I m just a girl who decided to be open to a God of her own understanding and have a little faith in the people whom have walked before me. I m forever grateful for all that SLR has done for me. It was the greatest gift anyone could ever give me.Today I work in the Mental Health field as an Autism Behavioral Analysis interventionist and I have one year old little boy who is my world! Without the help of the Ranch, I don't think I would be the women that I am today for myself, nor be the mother that I am for my son. thank you Spring Lake Ranch for giving me the tools to become happy, healthy, and independent.

Wonderful experience. I bounced back from my depression so quickly at the ranch and became so confident that I went straight to graduate school when I completed the program.

The biggest freak going. If you want your family member to live, don't send them there.
