For adult men and women, a long term recovery community offering services free of charge to those in need. Therapy offered.

The Carl E. Dahl House on Green Street in Gardner, Massachusetts describes itself as a therapeutic farm community for people with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders - an alternative for people who say they are tired of the same treatment approach. The residential program sits alongside the organization's newer ROOTS service (Resilient, Optimistic, Open-Minded, Thriving, Serene), which provides outpatient support for young people aged 12 to 24 dealing with substance misuse or mental health challenges. Recorded payment options include Medicare, military insurance and self-pay.

Spring Lake Ranch is a farm-based therapeutic community in Cuttingsville, Vermont, offering licensed residential treatment for adults with mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use. Residents share in the daily work of the ranch — forestry, the shop crew, agriculture — alongside clinical treatment, in a model that treats meaningful work as part of recovery rather than as an activity around it. Support continues after the residential stay through the Ranch's transitional programs, including supported housing in nearby Rutland.
