Step 7Residential days
Once you’re steady, days take on a rhythm: therapy, groups, meals together, and time on campus. Recreation is part of the day, and it supports the clinical work without replacing it.
- Morning
- Breakfast at 7:00, then a walk or mindfulness on the grounds. Community meeting at 8:30, a clinical group at 9:00, and individual therapy, case management, and medical visits from 10:30.
- Midday
- Lunch at 12:00. A skills group at 1:00: DBT, life skills, and work readiness.
- Afternoon
- Program time from 2:30: equine therapy, the mechanic and woodworking shops, the art room, the music room, or the gym. Peer support group at 4:30.
- Evening
- Dinner at 5:30. A recovery meeting on site at 7:00 (AA, NA, or SMART). Journaling, family calls, and quiet time from 9:00.
This is our planned sample weekday. Weekends swap the groups for a process group, time in the gym and game room, a cookout, family visiting, and a movie night or the bonfire.
