In the early days of the recovery movement, the founders of AA recognized that “more will be revealed.” More has been revealed. Substance abuse treatment stands at the edge of a remarkable revolution spurred on by dedicated researchers, compassionate clinicians, and the enthusiastic demands of people in early recovery for treatment that is compassionate, respectful, and effective. At the leading edge of this revolution, The Ranch has made a commitment to the practical application of the latest advances in the field of drug and alcohol abuse treatment.
Our approach, while different from many traditional programs, is valued by the many substance abuse treatment centers who actively refer their clients to us for ongoing treatment, because our program builds on our client’s previous recovery work in powerful ways. As we support our clients in continuing and deepening their use of 12-Step sponsorship, meetings, and step work, we encourage them to broaden their focus to explore how they are creating every aspect of their lives, and take responsibility for creating a life of personal empowerment and fulfillment.
